Abstract: Vibration problems in piping systems can manifest themselves in two forms: excessive noise generated from wall flexural vibrations, that in combination with jet noise itself may exceed OSHA ...

Abstract: A brief description is given of a computer program for the time domain analysis of the two-dimensional dynamic behavior of general ocean buoy-cable-body systems. Several sample problems are given ...

Abstract: Computer simulations have been used frequently to calculate design loads associated with a specific return period for offshore structures. However, two important questions persistently confront ...

Abstract: The effects of elevated free-stream turbulence on flow and thermal structures in transitional boundary layers were investigated experimentally on a heated flat plate. Detailed boundary layer ...

Abstract: The results of a comprehensive investigation of the accuracy of representing a continuous cable by a finite number of segments are presented. The results are limited to the two-dimensional ...

Abstract: The present study formulates an improved approach for analyzing separated-flow transition that differentiates between the transition process in boundary layers that are laminar at separation and ...

Abstract: The viscous criterion is a recently developed criterion to assess injury severity of the human thorax. In the viscous criterion, the peak viscous response, which is defined as the maximum ...

Abstract: It is shown that, within the linear theory of elasticity, the couple-stresses not only affect the maximum stress in a medium containing a spherical inclusion but also tend to shift the location ...

Abstract: A method for analyzing constrained multibody systems is presented. The method is applicable to a class of problems in which the multibody system is subjected to both force and kinematic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a general conservation theorem for multibody systems subject to simple nonholonomic constraints. It is applicable to both conservative and nonconservative systems. The derivation ...
