Abstract: Recent evaluation of civil engineering infrastructure has demonstrated that most of it will need major repairs in the near future. This justifies the development of innovative rehabilitation and strengthening methods for ...

Abstract: Using an integral equation approach, we investigate the reflection of focus wave modes on conventional and time reversal mirrors when the total field, incident plus reflected, satisfies on these ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the weakly nonlinear inviscid dynamics of a marginally unstable baroclinic wave near the point of minimum critical shear of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model on the ?-plane. In previous studies ...

Abstract: Stationary and transient states of a two-layer fjord-type estuary are discussed analytically. The forcing functions are the outer salinity S0, the fresh-water supply qf, and a meteorologically forced barotropic transport ...

Abstract: The connection between Rayleigh’s quotient and perturbation theory for the eigenvalue problem is studied. Equivalence of these techniques is proven under certain conditions.

Abstract: A novel dimensional synthesis technique for solving the mixed exact and approximate motion synthesis problem for planar RR kinematic chains is presented. The methodology uses an analytic representation of the planar RR ...
