Abstract: This paper deals with the inverse problem of large deformation of very thin shells. An inflated shell of known shape is considered and the differential equations are derived for the case that ...

Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear membrane equations are derived for a shell of revolution under the assumption that not only are the displacements and rotations large, but that, also, large strains ...

Abstract: A study is made of the transient response of a thick-walled cylinder (plane-strain) or plate (plane-stress) subjected to an axially symmetric time-dependent pressure (or velocity) at an internal ...

Abstract: When a two-dimensional elastic body that contains a notch or a crack is under a plane stress or plane strain deformation, the asymptotic solution of the stress near the apex of the notch ...

Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of seasonal variations, summer and winter conditions, on the performance of an existing and successfully operated overland flow wastewater treatment system in the Midwest. The ...

Abstract: This study reports on the performance of two medium-range streamflow forecast models: (1) a multilayer feed-forward artificial neural network; and (2) a distributed hydrologic model. Quantitative precipitation forecasts ...
