Abstract: This paper draws together the results of research work undertaken at BHRA on cylinders excited to oscillate by flow within unbaffled mixing vessels. Oscillations of an anchor mixer and of dip ...

Abstract: Buried pipelines operating at elevated temperatures experience high longitudinal compressive stresses because the surrounding soil prevents thermal expansion. At high operating temperatures, buried ...

Abstract: Yawed cylinders are cylinders inclined forward or backwards in the plane of the flowing fluid. They are used in many practical situations such as braced frame members and raked marine piles. ...

Abstract: The critical path method has been increasingly used as an administrative and legal tool rather than as a planning instrument. The writer claims that this evolution has made its planning function of little use to the ...

Abstract: This paper discusses problems with contract documents prepared for roadway rehabilitation that field engineers experience during construction. It addresses the issues of existing utilities, drainage, and right‐of‐way ...

Abstract: Rural population densities and tornado incidence (confirmed and probable categories) are compared for noncoastal regions in the southwestern Ontario peninsula. No apparent relationship is found between rural population ...

Abstract: Buckling of an optical fiber within a confining connector housing is analyzed under the restriction that the transverse deflection profile be shallow. Fibers with pinned ends and with clamped ...

Abstract: Approximate solutions to the conservative free-oscillation problem were obtained recently [1–4] through the use of ultraspherical polynomials. The present paper extends the technique to forced ...
