Abstract: The effects of cross‐wind shear on horizontal dispersion are studied using a numerical solution of a steady state diffusion equation and boundary layer equations. The results are presented for a set of input parameters and ...

Abstract: A comprehensive numerical investigation on the natural convection in a hydrodynamically anisotropic porous enclosure is presented. The flow is due to nonuniformly heated bottom wall and maintenance ...

Abstract: An exact general closed‐form approach to estimation of fatigue reliability of parallel systems, which represent a set of failure paths of structural systems, is presented. The parallel system considered here is completely ...

Abstract: A closed‐form, reliability‐based, procedure is developed to identify fatigue failure paths of offshore structures and assess the notional probability of system failure through these paths. The procedure utilizes the Miners ...

Abstract: In order to qualify for federal operating assistance, transit operators in the United States are required to report annual unlinked passenger miles carried on bus and fixed guideway systems. In order to ensure fair ...

Abstract: A simple, computationally efficient procedure is presented with which the steady‐state response of a discrete linear system to a periodic excitation may be computed from an analysis of its transient response over a single ...

Abstract: In the current study, the high-volume replacement of river sand (20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) by pond ash in cement mortar was considered using a 1∶3 volumetric mix proportion to evaluate the engineering properties, ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, river sand in cement mortar was systematically replaced with pond ash to promote circular economy principles. Two experimental series were conducted using cement–sand volumetric mix ratios of 1∶3 and ...
