Abstract: In this study, simple empirical frictional pressure losses and cuttings bed thickness correlations including pipe rotation are developed for solidliquid flow in horizontal and deviated wellbores. Pipe rotation effects on ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the response of the conventionally designed new Olive View Medical Center (OVMC) building at 16 km from the epicenter of the January 17, 1994 Northridge, California earthquake (

Abstract: This paper presents a multiple model/controller scheme for robust tracking of a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of large plant uncertainties and disturbance. Each model is associated ...

Abstract: In this two‐part paper, responses of two, adjacent, seven‐story buildings in Norwalk, California, to the Whittier‐Narrows, Calif. earthquake of Oct. 1, 1987 are studied. Building A, instrumented according to code ...

Abstract: Presented in this part of the two‐part paper is a study of the relations between earthquake motions recorded from two, adjacent, seven‐story buildings, from a downhole below the foundation of one of the buildings and from ...

Abstract: Spectral analyses and system identification techniques are used to analyze a set of acceleration response records obtained during the October 17, 1989, Loma Prieta earthquake

Abstract: The straits connecting two large water bodies show very strong and highly stratified currents related to meteorological, morphological, and hydrodynamic conditions. The Bosphorus is one such strait, connecting the Black ...

Abstract: Urban populations in Turkey have been growing steadily since the 1950s. As such, adequately supplying development parcels for the growing population is one of the most important responsibilities of the local governments, ...

Abstract: Singularities play a significant role in the characterization of time series. The temporal characteristics of fluctuating significant wave height time series are investigated in this study. The hourly time series from 24 ...
