Fifty Years of Management—A Look Back and a Look Forward
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The decade which this report discusses, the decade of the Fifties, has been a time of fulfillment in management. It has also been a decade of conclusion for historical trends. Now we are ...
Upper Limit for Hydropower in an Open-Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is proved on the basis of the axiomatic energy equation that the theoretical upper limit for the hydropower gained by a water wheel or turbine per unit width in a rectangular open channel cannot exceed
Studies of the Marine Inversion Over the San Francisco Bay Area … A Summary of the Work of Albert Miller, 1961–1978
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During his tenure in the Meteorology Department at San Jose State University (1961?1978), Professor Albert Miller conducted extensive field investigations of the marine inversion over the San Francisco Bay Area. Measurements ...
An Energy Budget for Intermittent Turbulence in the Free Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to study the physical aspects of intermittent turbulence in the free atmosphere, it is suggested that terms of an ?instantaneous? turbulent energy budget be computed from data collected by aircraft. This can be ...
The Towne Lecture: The Price of Success—Management Leadership in a Pluralistic Society
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Management has been the “success story” among social institutions in this century. And, because of its success, it is now being asked to take on a new role—that of integrator, leader, and ...
River Response to Dredging
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Examination of the impact of dredging when employed in support of engineering requirements for river system development on the Mississippi River system reveals that the dredge provides the river engineer with a means of ...
Discussion of “<i>Buckling of Beams with Concentrated Moments</i>” by Peter E. Cuk and Nicholas S. Trahair (June, 1983)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Buckling Approximations for Inelastic Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hand methods of calculating buckling loads of inelastic moment gradient beams are developed. An inelastic parameter, the stiffness modification factor,
Buckling of Suspended I‐Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the elastic flexural‐torsional buckling of I‐beams supported (suspended) symmetrically by cables or chains, as might be encountered in practice in a lifting operation. The governing differential ...
Simplified Nonorthogonal Crack Model for Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new material model that accounts for fracture of concrete is presented. The model is based on the crack‐band concept, providing a formulation suitable for application in the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. ...
