Abstract: A comparative analysis of rubber-like shells of revolution which undergo arbitrarily large rotations and strains is presented. The comparison is made between two alternative definitions of the ...

Abstract: An approach for the derivation of two-dimensional strain energy density functions of compressible, rubber-like shells of revolution which undergo axisymmetric, arbitrarily large rotations and strains ...

Abstract: Active noise control in a one dimensional acoustic duct, in which fluid medium inside the duct has a mean flow velocity, is studied. The acoustic duct model with general boundary conditions is solved in Laplace domain and ...

Abstract: Side-weirs located on straight channels have attracted considerable interest and research effort. The same, however, is not true for side-weirs on curved channels. The existing studies deal mainly with sediment transport ...

Abstract: Submarine pipelines, one of the most important subjects in coastal engineering, are widely used in coastal structures. In order to ensure these pipelines are stable and functional during their project life, attention must ...

Abstract: A laboratory experiment was conducted in a wave flume to compare sand beach profile evolution and wave overtopping of a sand berm for the three cases of (1) no structure, (2) a stone revetment protecting the steep ...

Abstract: The interior noise inside the passenger cabin of automobiles can be classified as structure-borne or airborne. In this study, we investigate the structure-borne noise, which is mainly caused by ...

Abstract: The average water surface slope in the lateral direction is taken into account as a local parameter ψ to study flow over a side weir. It was later shown that for smaller side weir lengths and side weir portions with no ...

Abstract: The effect of water surface slope in the lateral direction on flow over side weirs was studied. Water surface elevation on the weir plane was expressed by a parameter ψ based upon the hydraulic profile on the channel axis. ...

Abstract: Machine tool contacts must be represented accurately for reliable prediction of machine behavior. In structural optimization problems, contact constraints are represented as an additional minimization problem based on ...
