Abstract: The High Speed and Free Surface Water Tunnels are the principal research facilities of the Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. Significant changes have been made ...

Abstract: AbstractThe autocorrelation spectral density (ASD) was introduced as a generalization of the classical periodogram-based power spectral density (PSD) and as an alternative tool for spectral analysis of uniformly sampled ...

Abstract: Foam damping materials judiciously placed in automotive structures efficiently reduce the vibration amplitudes of large, relatively flat exterior body panels such as the hood, roof, deck lid ...

Abstract: Previously, a physically-based elastic model has been used in the modeling of high temperature polymer deformation. While this has been successful in producing realistic shapes and forces in ...

Abstract: At the present time, the sewage treatment plants in the United Kingdom produce about 25,000,000 t of sewage sludge each year at a concentration of 4 solids. New regulations in the United Kingdom forbid sea dumping, and in ...

Abstract: The potential of variable tire pressure technology to minimize distress on flexible pavements with thin asphalt surfacing layers and peat soil subgrade was evaluated using in-situ stress-strain data. Pavement interfacial ...
