Abstract: A theory, in the form of a coupled system of reduced parabolic wave equations (equations (42)), is developed for stress wave propagation studies through inhomogeneous, locally isotropic, linearly ...

Abstract: Using trial functions that are motivated by single-body calculations, we have derived bounds on the effective transverse thermal conductivity of a fiber composite. These bounds incorporate both ...

Abstract: A technique known as a projection or a smoothing, which has been used successfully to derive formulations on the mean (or unconditionally averaged) field response of specimens with a random ...

Abstract: t experiment was conducted from 1 June to 12 August 1983 at the Program for Regional Observing and Forecasting Services (PROFS) in Boulder, Colorado. The exercise included probabilistic forecasts of severe-weather convective ...

Abstract: A formulation is obtained that is to be satisfied by the mean (i.e., statistical averaged) field quantities in a statistical sample of heterogeneous, linearly elastic solids. Inertia effects are ...

Abstract: Tensile and stress-rupture tests were run on several products from a 90-ton (8.2 × 104 Kg) heat of type 304 stainless steel. The yield stress of the products in the as-received condition ...

Abstract: A solution of second-order equations of extensional motion of plates is obtained for waves traveling along a free edge. The usual Rayleigh-type wave is found to become more and more confined ...
