Abstract: Since the dawn of civilization, the civil engineering profession has served mankind. Civil engineers have provided humanity with safe, reliable, and economical facilities and a livable environment. This paper seeks to ...

Abstract: Effects of orbital and structural initial conditions, such as initial structural axial deformation, pitch (attitude) angle, and orbit altitude have been investigated on the subsequent orbital motion (time variation of orbit ...

Abstract: This work examines the steady two-dimensional mixed convection boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian Carreau fluid embedded in a porous medium. The impermeable wedge is at rest over which the momentum and thermal boundary ...

Abstract: This work examines the steady three-dimensional forced convective thermal boundary-layer flow of laminar and incompressible fluid in a porous medium. In this analysis, it is assumed that the solid phase and the fluid phase, ...

Abstract: Lunar bases for long-term human habitation are a topic of growing interest to engineers. Structures to be built on the surface of the Moon must be designed to resist extreme environmental hazards such as hard vacuum/no ...

Abstract: Resilient modulus

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution methodology for the complete stress and displacement fields of a laterally confined granular column loaded from the top end. The granular column is idealized as a homogeneous ...

Abstract: The Queensboro Bridge in New York City is presently undergoing major rehabilitation to its road surfaces and wind bracing system. A three dimensional computer model of this bridge was developed since significant cost savings ...

Abstract: Special percussive mechanisms have been used to explore the lunar, Martian, and other planetary subsurface and extract soil (regolith)/rock samples for further study. The special type of percussive mechanisms investigated ...
