Abstract: The paper addresses the power flow suppression in an elastic beam of the tubular cross section (a pipe) at relatively low excitation frequencies by deploying a small number of equally spaced ...

Abstract: Gantry cranes load and unload containers from container ships. To ensure safety and operation, the deflection of their main beams under load should be analyzed. This deflection depends on the weight of the loaded container ...

Abstract: This paper explores the deflection and buckling of fixed-guided beams used in compliant mechanisms. The paper’s main contributions include the addition of an axial deflection model to existing ...

Abstract: Due to gravitation, the main reflector of a radio telescope underlies a deformation that causes a change in focal length depending on the variations of the elevation angle of the telescope. To estimate these gravity dependent ...

Abstract: Thin cylindrical shells used in engineering applications are often susceptible to failure by elastic buckling. Most experimental and theoretical research on shell buckling relates only to simple ...

Abstract: A dichloromethane‐degrading bacteria population is selected from sewage sludge. The microorganisms are employed in a fluidized‐bed reactor for regeneration of dichloromethane‐containing activated carbon. Bubble‐free ...

Abstract: Presented are insights from three-dimensional numerical models used to identify optimal performance configurations of rock vanes and bendway weirs placed in midsize rivers, such as the Middle Reach of the Rio Grande. These ...

Abstract: The oxygen-transfer characteristics of an upflow biological aerated filter filled with angular clay media were determined over a wide range of gas and liquid flow rates. Liquid-side, oxygen-transfer coefficients

Abstract: The sediment erosion rate flume (SERF) is used to evaluate various methods to estimate shear stresses in a flume-style erosion rate testing device. Results show that direct shear stress measurements most closely correspond ...
