Abstract: For urban drainage, the role of granular media has expanded from particulate matter (PM) filtration to media also engineered for phosphorus (P) mass transfer. In this paper, equilibrium between P as total dissolved P (TDP) ...

Abstract: Part I focused on a Freundlich model of phosphorus (P) equilibrium between AlOx-media substrates and differing aqueous matrices: runoff, wastewater, and a reproducible deionized (DI) surrogate. In contrast, Part II examines ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the theoretical study of buckling of truncated spherical shells. Sander’s nonlinear equations for deep shells are used and the equations of equilibrium are expressed ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, time-dependent mathematical model has been developed to investigate the flow and temperature stratification phenomena in a liquid thermal storage tank for a solar energy system. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results on the utilization of a wavelet transform to study the dispersion of laser-generated surface waves in an epoxy-bonded copper-aluminum layered specimen with and ...

Abstract: The development of micro-acoustic wave sensor in biosensing created the need for further investigations of the surface wave propagation in a viscous liquid loaded layered medium. In this paper, ...

Abstract: Relative degrees and zero dynamics are intrinsic system properties associated with a given input-output pair. In the design of output tracking controllers, the relative degree and the stability ...

Abstract: Small volume fractions of very small particles in a pure metal eliminate easy glide in a single crystal and produce very high yield strength in a polycrystal. The validity of a partial ...

Abstract: Approximate solutions to the general structural reliability problem, i.e., computing probabilities of complicated functions of random variables, can be obtained efficiently by the fast probability ...

Abstract: A control procedure that uses Time Delay Control to achieve input/output linearization of a class of nonlinear systems is presented. The control system is characterized by a simple algorithm ...
