Abstract: The paper presents a rational method for predicting the load‐carrying capacity of a short, thin‐walled cylinder under combined loading. The elastic critical stresses for the perfect cylinder are found from the codes and ...

Abstract: Network arches can be defined as those with inclined hangers with multiple intercetions. In network tied arch bridges, the arch and the tie can be made more slender than in other arch bridges. The tie is usually a concrete ...

Abstract: Sharp indentation problems are examined based on finite element methods (FEMs) and selfsimilarity considerations. The analysis concerns classical elastic–plastic materials with low, or no, strainhardening and especially ...

Abstract: We consider the computational problem of finding the point in 3D-space on a transformed surface corresponding to a coordinate pair given in a perspective mapping. The transformation is a rigid ...

Abstract: Global displays of sea surface temperatures (SST's) from the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) are obtained with spatial sampling intervals as small as 50 km rather than the 150 km spacing normally ...

Abstract: An important limitation of the ECMWF wind analyses has been the use of a nondivergent constraint on the analysis increments. We relax this constraint in the optimum interpolation analysis scheme and allow explicitly for ...
