Abstract: A review of the existing theories for the Young’s modulus of continuous filament random webs is given. It is shown that the effect of buckling of the transverse filaments must be included ...

Abstract: The stiffness method originally proposed by Kausel and Roesset in 1981 for the analysis of wave propagation problems is used here to determine the deformations of horizontally layered systems subjected to static loads under ...

Abstract: Theoretical analysis and measurements of air velocities in cylindrical prechambers of the indirect injection type Diesel engine are reported. Comparisons are made between the theoretical analysis ...

Abstract: In this note, the interaction factors for the analysis of axially loaded pile groups are calculated using a procedure that makes use of the stiffness matrices for the study of wave propagation problems involving layered ...

Abstract: Summarized are findings of a computer‐based study of the mud‐flows on Mt. St. Helens following its eruption on May 18, 1980. Analyses were made of the start‐up dynamics and flow of mud down various drainages of the mountain, ...
