Abstract: Most design codes for circular shell structures include a limit on out-of-round imperfections. However, commonly used measures of out-of-roundness fail to identify shapes that have constant diameter but are not circular. ...

Abstract: We consider the steady-state parallel flow of a homogeneous viscous liquid in the annular region between concentric cylinders at low Reynolds numbers. The linearized equations are solved by ...

Abstract: Two of the most difficult issues to resolve in current design of head/disk interface in magnetic recording devices are stiction and durability problems. One method of overcoming these problems ...

Abstract: A study is made of the steady-state axisymmetric flow of a homogeneous viscous liquid in a straight circular pipe with absorbing walls. The complete equations are solved numerically and the ...

Abstract: In the current investigation, nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques were applied to evaluate the condition of existing jetty bridge structure. The structure serves as an access point for the loading and unloading of ...

Abstract: This paper presents statewide estimates of shutter usage and envelope coverage for owner-occupied single-family detached housing in Florida. Intrastate regional variations are also presented and discussed. Multivariate ...

Abstract: This paper provides fresh evidence on the status of business disaster planning, mitigation, and preparedness, and the effectiveness of these activities on loss reduction. Data from a survey of businesses in Galveston County, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for analyzing the results of a Taylor impact test. From post-mortem measurements of final specimen length and final undeformed specimen length the dynamic material ...
