Abstract: Many earth dams exhibit lateral deformation during construction; the extent is dependent upon the stress‐strain characteristics of the embankment material. Earth dams constructed exclusively of impervious fill have the ...

Abstract: When a column of fluid moving with uniform velocity is instantaneously stopped at the downstream end a pressure wave is propagated upstream. In an inviscid fluid the wave is a step discontinuity, ...

Abstract: The extent of lubricant degradation in a sliding elastohydrodynamic contact has been investigated. The lubricant was subjected to peak Hertz pressures of approximately 109 N/m2 and average shear ...

Abstract: The collapse of glass tubes, as used in the manufacture of optical fiber preforms, constitutes a problem involving Stokes flow, driven by surface tension and applied pressure. Undesirable, ...

Abstract: On 7 February 2020, precipitation within the comma-head region of an extratropical cyclone was sampled remotely and in situ by two research aircraft, providing a vertical cross section of microphysical observations and ...
