Abstract: This paper considers the torsional impact response of a long thick-walled cylinder containing an internal or external circumferential edge crack. Laplace and Hankel transforms are used to reduce ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamics of a freely floating compound cylinder consisting of a surface-piercing cylindrical column resting on a larger, concentric cylindrical base are investigated theoretically. Linear ...

Abstract: A fully three-dimensional numerical model has been developed to simulate the wave–current–vegetation interaction phenomenon. Physical experiments have also been carried out to provide data for the verification of the model. ...

Abstract: AbstractArctic climate change in winter is tightly linked to changes in the strength of surface temperature inversions, which occur frequently in the present climate as Arctic air masses form during polar night. Recent ...

Abstract: There are many elasto-mechanical systems that involve two components in moving contact where large-amplitude vibration and noise can be excited. This paper models the vibration and dynamic ...

Abstract: In the present study, the boundary element method is employed to analyze the top slabs of rectangular or skewed composite slab‐on‐girder and box‐girder bridges, while the finite strip method is used to analyze the girders. ...

Abstract: Experimental results are confirmed for theoretical predictions of a vortex model for the two-dimensional inviscid flow generated by a line of submerged, turbulent, shallow water jets in a coflowing current. The experiments ...

Abstract: The problem of active earth pressure has historically been investigated assuming dry or saturated backfills, ignoring the fact that soils are usually unsaturated in nature. This note proposes a kinematic framework for the ...
