Abstract: The main goal of this note is to discuss the applicability of approximate closed-form solutions to evaluate the natural frequencies for bending vibrations of simply supported Euler–Bernoulli ...

Abstract: In this paper, new exact closed-form solutions for free longitudinal vibration of a one-parameter countable family of cantilever rods with one end tip mass are obtained. The analysis is based on the reduction of the equation ...

Abstract: From October 1986 to December 1987, a study on the evolution ot the primary productivity in a wastewater stabilization pond was carried out in situ using the C‐14 technique. Most primary productivity measurements are limited ...

Abstract: The objectives of the analysis reported in this paper are to evaluate the environmental impacts of the electricity produced in a 17MW solar thermal plant with central tower technology and a ...

Abstract: The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) is one of the Generation IV designs. The SCWR is characterized by its high efficiency, low waste production, and simple design. Despite the suitable properties of supercritical water ...

Abstract: Upper-tropospheric divergence anomalies and divergence tendencies prior to and during the onset of blocking have been investigated for selected cases over the Southern Hemisphere in search of links between the upper-tropospheric ...

Abstract: In this paper, a biomechanical crowd–structure interaction model is proposed and further implemented to adequately estimate the energy exchange between pedestrians and a footbridge. The proposed model focuses on the ...

Abstract: Many water treatment technologies for arsenic removal that are used today produce arsenic-bearing residuals which are disposed in nonhazardous landfills. Previous works have established that many of these residuals will ...

Abstract: Supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) was chosen as Generation IV reactor concept in Canada to utilize Canada's expertise and technical capabilities from past research and designs. The conceptual design of Canadian ...
