Abstract: The method of fragments is a simple technique for determining the flow rate, pore water pressure, and exit gradient in two-dimensional confined flow problems. This method is extended to a three-dimensional hydraulic fill ...

Abstract: The integral form of the momentum and energy equations, subject to the boundary layer simplifications, are used to obtain an approximate solution for an axisymmetric laminar jet with a uniform ...

Abstract: The static characteristics of shrouded, acoustically controlled turbulence amplifiers are investigated. The main variables are control sound pressure level and frequency, shroud diameter, gap length ...

Abstract: An approximate solution to the velocity distribution in a submerged axisymmetric, laminar jet which issues from a long tube is presented. The solution is a modification of that of Okabe [17] ...

Abstract: This paper presents measurements of the thickness-average residual stress imposed by laser peening near the edge of a thin sheet of a common titanium alloy. The slitting (or crack compliance) ...

Abstract: The composition of air near ground level is not necessarily representative of the troposphere as a whole. In particular in the Antarctic, stratification from the strong inversions often present and scavenging by blowing ...

Abstract: Construction specifications are used by transportation agencies to define the client’s requirements of the final product. The primary motivation of adopting the newer end result specification (ERS) or performance related ...

Abstract: A new corotational procedure is developed which enables existing finite element formulations to be used in problems that contain arbitrarily large rotations. Through the use of a nonsingular ...

Abstract: This study investigates factors contributing to the unexpected loss of a recreational Chinook salmon fishery in a reach of the Rangitata River in Canterbury, New Zealand. The Rangitata is one of only 14 rivers nationwide ...
