Abstract: Gas turbine engines operating in a hostile environment, polluted with sand or dust particles, are susceptible to erosion damage, mostly at the front axial fans and compressors. Accurately predicting the erosion pattern and ...

Abstract: If a piece of homogeneous anisotropic elastic material is subject to simple tension along a direction n for which Young’s modulus E(n ) is an extremum, then the corresponding strain field is ...

Abstract: A reevaluation is presented of two factors that can strongly affect the estimation of liquefaction resistance for clean sands under high effective overburden stresses

Abstract: The effect of an initial static shear stress on the undrained cyclic loading resistance of saturated sand, as observed in laboratory testing, is often expressed in terms of a correction factor,

Abstract: A numerical study is presented of the effects of viscoplasticity on localization processes in sensitive, saturated clays and plastic silts. Numerical simulations of laboratory specimens of sensitive, viscoplastic soil ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of a centrifuge test, in which dissipation patterns, lateral spreading, and shear strain localization were measured and recorded, are performed for validation of the numerical modeling approach and ...

Abstract: Using the one-dimensional cumulus model developed by Cotton, predictions of the effects of seeding cumulus clouds were performed during the month of July 1973 as part of the Experimental Meteorology Laboratory's Florida ...
