Abstract: All hydraulic computations involving flow in open channels require an evaluation of energy‐loss parameters. A fundamental approach is to assess the different types of energy loss separately. Methods of doing this are ...

Abstract: The paper describes a simplified method of designing an efficient side‐channel spillway, with particular reference to an L‐shaped weir. The method can be used with minor modifications for a straight weir or one U‐shaped ...

Abstract: The geometrical complexity of winding patterns for fiber composite spherical pressure vessels has most often resulted in design and analysis based on use of assumed spherical symmetry. Development ...

Abstract: The shear difference method is developed here for application to orthotropic photoelasticity problems. The two-dimensional stress-optic law which was presented in another paper is used. The ...

Abstract: The potential strength degradation of a filament wound sphere was predicted using an incremental finite element model of the composite during fabrication. The sphere was modeled taking into ...
