Abstract: Deformation and dissipation of different classes of breakers ranging from a spilling breaker to a strong plunging breaker are studied. Experiments are carried out to investigate spatial changes of the wave profile and wave ...

Abstract: Bubble dynamics is the most important subphenomenon, which basically affects the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient. Previous investigations state that the effect of physical properties ...

Abstract: The adaptive parametric identification of deteriorating and nondeteriorating nonlinear hysteretic phenomena is considered using a generalization of Masing model based on the observed memory behavior of distributed element ...

Abstract: AbstractSediment diversion to water and irrigation networks has always been one of the major problems in engineering projects. This article reviews the previous research on applying submerged vanes to specify the amount ...

Abstract: This paper discusses an exact decomposition of the kinetic energy to determine the energy content that influences the dynamics of unilateral contacts in multibody systems. This decomposition ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new interpretation of the energetic coefficient of restitution, especially applicable to contact involving multibody systems. This interpretation generalizes the concept of ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the study of the geometry of the scour hole and topography of the bed around a T-shaped unsubmerged spur dike located in a 90° bend. The experiments were carried out in a channel with a 90° bend. ...

Abstract: An effective strategy in reducing train-induced vibrations on neighboring structures is to use open trenches on both sides of the railway lines. This paper investigates the effect of the trench’s shape on its performance. ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on developing train–track dynamic interaction models by consideration of ballast and subballast layers’ stress distribution patterns. In this paper, the existing railway track pyramid models are more ...
