Abstract: A new approach is proposed to treat the bottom boundary conditions for suspended sediment transport modeling, which works with turbulence models using wall functions. New boundary conditions for suspended sediment are ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new semianalytical approach for the solution of suspended sediment transport in channels under uniform conditions using generalized integral transform technique (GITT). Comparing with previous analytical ...

Abstract: The behavior of unsymmetric buildings excited by incoherent seismic ground motions is studied, and the assessments and information reported make it possible to gain valuable insight into the resulting dynamic response. The ...

Abstract: The exponents of the clearance to radius term (C∕R) in the scaling law for damping ratio ζ in Eqs. 19,20 were inadvertently switched between these two equations. Equations 19,20 should ...

Abstract: The journal bearings of the MIT micro-devices are located at the outer periphery of the rotor and are designed to operate at rotational speeds of order two million rpm in order to enable ...

Abstract: The high-speed microhydrostatic gas journal bearings used in the high-power density MIT microengines are of very low aspect ratio with an L∕D of less than 0.1 and are running at surface speeds ...

Abstract: Generally, approximate kinematic synthesis of planar linkage is studied using optimization method. But this method has two defects: i) the suitable initial guesses are hard to determine and ii) ...

Abstract: Strong thunderstorm winds cause damage to structures. However, the available number of the tricomponent thunderstorm wind record with a subsecond sampling time interval is limited. In the present study, a record-based ...
