Abstract: Herein is developed a fundamental solution to the problem of the expansion of a cylindrical cavity in a dilatant soil which exhibits effects of large strains. A result of some importance to geomechanics concerns the ...

Abstract: A brief study is provided on the forecast performance of students who write a mock area forecast discussion (AFD) on a weekly basis. Student performance was tracked for one semester (11 weeks) during the University of ...

Abstract: This paper details a methology for the active recovery of contact free levitation of a rotor from a state of persistent contact with auxiliary bearings. An analytical method to describe contact ...

Abstract: A case study of the 13?14 March 1999 heavy snow event across southern Missouri and neighboring states is presented. Of the many features that made this storm notable, the very sharp gradient on the northern periphery of ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of a bus model with rectangular service zones and the development of a new approach to find the criterion in which the existence of the optimal solution for headway and route width is guaranteed. ...

Abstract: Annular components are used widely in engineering systems and include bearing bushes and races, which may be exposed to extreme operating conditions. A method to establish the localized transient ...

Abstract: Under normal operation, a rotor levitated by magnetic bearings will rotate without making contact with any stator component. However, there are a number of circumstances that may lead to temporary ...
