Abstract: Laminated composite shells are increasingly being used in various engineering applications including aerospace, mechanical, marine, and automotive engineering. With the increasing awareness of and ...

Abstract: Shell-like structures are used in various engineering applications including civil, aerospace, mechanical, marine, and automotive engineering. This article reviews most of the recent research done ...

Abstract: Damage in buildings caused by excavation-induced ground displacement is a major concern in any underground work of an urban area. To predict the building damage, it is generally assumed the onset of visible cracking is ...

Abstract: The undrained behavior of saturated sand in monotonically loaded triaxial tests is discussed using steady state concepts. The relations among various drained and undrained strength envelopes are first examined. These ...

Abstract: The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to effect a desired change is of immense technological importance. In this article, methods of control to achieve transition delay, ...

Abstract: A constant flow density current flowing on an inverse slope incline in the range of 1–6% slope is investigated using two-dimensional (2D) large-eddy simulations (LES). The dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model is used ...

Abstract: AbstractSpatially and temporally varying adaptive inflation algorithms have been developed to combat the loss of variance during the forecast due to various model and sampling errors. The adaptive Bayesian scheme of Anderson ...

Abstract: This study examined the doctrine of time of the essence and how the UK courts interpret it in the sphere of building contracts. In a wide sample of cases heard before the UK courts, this study looked at the literal and ...

Abstract: This study presents an approximated model for pressure transient simulations as well as a local wall shear stress analysis to control and dislodge biofilm growth in water distribution systems. It demonstrates the potential ...
