Abstract: A new method for calculation of frequency-equivalent storms and hydrographs is presented. This procedure is an extension of the frequency-equivalent nonlinear hydrograph (FENLH) methodology. Streamflow data records for a ...

Abstract: Asymptotic distributions are obtained for both the strength and the time to failure of a fibrous material for which mild bonding or friction exists between fibers. The analysis is based on ...

Abstract: Traction versus slip curves for a full matrix of loads, speeds, and temperatures are given for one MIL-L-7808. Hertzian contact pressures from 80,000 psi (551.6 MN/m2 ) to 150,000 psi (1034.2 ...

Abstract: Following a review of statistical models of the failure of single fibers and bundles of these fibers, algebraic recurrence formulas are derived that generate expressions for the failure probabilities ...

Abstract: An elastohydrodynamic rolling disk test apparatus has been designed, built, and a matrix of traction data covering a range of loads, speeds, and temperatures have been obtained for 5P4E polyphenyl ...

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) translational tabs are introduced for active load control on aerodynamic surfaces such as wind turbine rotor blades. Microtabs are mounted near the trailing edge of ...
