Abstract: A pin-ended column under an arbitrary tangential loading is considered. It is proved by the direct method of Liapunov that the mode of instability in all such problems is by divergence in ...

Abstract: The steady-state form of a plane waterhammer wave is considered in order to illustrate the application of perturbation methods to fluid transients. An asymptotic solution is obtained for small ...

Abstract: Rammed earth walls are formed by compacting subsoil in thin layers inside temporary supporting formwork. An ancient form of construction, rammed earth has in recent years, together with other earth building methods, been ...

Abstract: A vision sensor has been developed that uses only two lenses, a split prism, and a detector to acquire an image. This system uses the split prism to create a split image such that the ...
