Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate and understand the behavior of a wrinkled energy pipeline when subjected to sustained monotonic axial compressive deformation. This study involved both ...

Abstract: The numerical boundary integral equation method for the solution of dynamic shear crack problems is discussed in detail, including the questions of the numerical approximation, stability, and ...

Abstract: Debris flows are notorious geohazards existing in both subaerial and subaqueous environments. They may cause catastrophic destructions to adjacent life and properties along their overriding path. As such, predictions of ...

Abstract: Deepwater pipelines are susceptible to destructive impacts from submarine debris flows. Understanding the subsea pipeline movement driven by submarine debris flow is critical to the optimization of pipeline routes and ...

Abstract: The effects of axial constraints on the bending of beams sometimes can be an important factor in the design of apparatus. This nonlinear problem is approached by (a) an exact differential ...

Abstract: The smoke point has been shown to be quantitatively related to the molecular structure of hydrocarbon fuels. A fast technique of determining the molecular composition of commercial and experimental ...

Abstract: A detailed nonlinear three-dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis (FEA) was performed in Phase I on a NEMO (naval experimental manned observatory) type HBOI (Harbor Branch Oceanographic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to track the evolution of hydraulic conductivity in granular rocks by accounting for the combined effect of porosity changes, grain breakage, and cement bond damage. The main objective was ...
