Abstract: This paper describes the theoretical methodology used in developing an analysis for the response of turbine engine fan blades subjected to soft body (bird) impacts and the computer program that ...

Abstract: A survey of post‐buckling behavior of structures is presented. Using simple models, the basic characteristics of the buckling and post‐buckling process are outlined. Included are discussions of stable and unstable post‐buckling ...

Abstract: Project planning, especially from the owner's point of view, is a relatively new field. After more than a decade of intensive development, it is still difficult to point to significant progress in the understanding of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the little‐known process of project planning from the owner's point of view in the form of a descriptive study of decision‐making processes. Data were assembled from interviews held in 11 leading U.S. ...

Abstract: The article analyzes the training needs of civil engineering students in construction methods and concludes that formal training in construction methods is vitally important for both students specializing in construction ...

Abstract: Design formulas and working charts are derived for predicting load-deflection characteristics and maximum bending stresses in initially straight buckling column springs, of uniform cross section, ...

Abstract: This study proposes a mathematical model for studying stability of arteries subjected to a longitudinal extension and a periodic pressure. An artery was considered as a straight composite beam ...

Abstract: A series solution for stresses and displacements in a rectangular plate that is simply supported at three corners has been developed. Surprisingly simple and rigorous formulae for maximum displacement under arbitrary load ...
