Abstract: The problem of two penny-shaped crazes formed at the top and the bottom poles of a spherical inhomogeneity has been investigated. The inhomogeneity is embedded in an infinitely extended elastic ...

Abstract: Over the last few years, a new flow computational methodology, vorticity confinement, has been shown to be very effective in treating concentrated vortical regions. These include thin vortex ...

Abstract: Rigid pavement structure typically consists of a surface layer (concrete), underlying granular layers (subbase and/or base), and a compacted subgrade soil layer. Because the subgrade is saturated during wet seasons, cyclic ...

Abstract: The effects of ionic strength of the permeating fluid on the clogging of soil filters and drainage layers are addressed using both experimental and modeling investigations. In the experimental phase, a sandy soil representative ...
