Abstract: In this paper linear elastic fracture mechanics is used to evaluate the fracture toughness of sea ice, which was collected from Bohai Bay and researched experimentally in the recent 84/85 ...

Abstract: The major purposes of this study are to use available data to predict: (1) The development of bed armoring; and (2) the final composition of grain size distribution. First, the different factors influencing the incipient ...

Abstract: Construction of a dam is one of the most common causes of channel degradation. The major differences among several well‐known mathematical degradation models are classified. The analytical degradation model is based on the ...

Abstract: A procedure has been developed to calculate the total sediment transport rates from the flow and suspended sediment data collected from the sampled zone (by depth integrated sampler). This procedure is a modification of ...

Abstract: The use of derived distributions to predict flood frequency is relatively new and requires refinement and improvement. This paper reports another effort to obtain and test a derived flood‐frequency distribution, applicable ...

Abstract: Surface and subsurface crack nucleation and growth mechanisms are elucidated for equiaxed (microstructure 1), elongated (microstructure 2), and colony (microstructure 3) microstructures of Ti6242. ...

Abstract: A research program consisting of experimental tests and finite-element (FE) analyses has been carried out to study the behavior and static strength of axially loaded elliptical hollow section (EHS) X joints of two ...
