Abstract: It is well known that the homogeneous elastic half space does not allow the torsional surface wave to propagate. The present article attempts to study the possibility of propagation of such waves in a liquid-filled initially ...

Abstract: Customer expectations for government services have changed significantly in the past decade, at the same time as technology, especially social media, has transformed how agencies interact with their customers and deliver ...

Abstract: This problem studies the effect of gravity and initial stress on the propagation of torsional surface waves in dry sandy medium. The mathematical analysis of the problem has been dealt with the Whittaker function. Assuming ...

Abstract: This paper studies the possibilities of propagation of torsional surface waves in nonhomogeneous anisotropic half-space under compressive initial stress. Two types of variations in nonhomogeneity, mainly hyperbolic and ...

Abstract: This article presents a concise overview on condition monitoring and retrofitting/strengthening of structures, including a practical case study of strengthening for an existing historical building. Condition assessment of ...

Abstract: A bridge versus culvert hydraulics approach may be taken to estimate the headwater of larger-span (or equivalently short) culvert-like structures, and design manuals often argue that the former should be technically ...
