Abstract: This paper presents an extension to the problem discussed in previous papers by Irmgard Flügge-Lotz and Mih Yin.2, 3 In the full third-order problem it was found desirable to modify the ...

Abstract: Linear and nonlinear Rayleigh–Bأ©nard convections with variable heat source (sink) are studied analytically using the Fourier series. The strength of the heat source is characterized by an internal Rayleigh number, RI, ...

Abstract: A method of estimating wave runups on plane, smooth slopes is presented. The method uses empirical formulas to predict monochromatic wave runups for a wide range of surf conditions. Intuitive arguments are used to support ...

Abstract: The ineffectiveness of dispute resolution remains a major concern to many users of construction arbitration. Despite several complaints regarding high costs, delays, and rejected awards, there is no evidence that any studies ...

Abstract: By referring their disputes to arbitration, users expect a speedy, economical, and satisfactory resolution. While some cases may have achieved these objectives, others have not. It is not uncommon to come across a mix of ...

Abstract: Arbitration has been touted as one of the best methods of resolving construction disputes, largely due to its perceived speed, cost-effectiveness, and finality of the award. However, studies have shown that arbitration has ...

Abstract: In this research, AA2024 aluminum alloy-based surface composites were fabricated using ex situ titanium boride particles (TiB2) as reinforcement using the friction stir processing technique. Microstructural and mechanical ...

Abstract: The use of finite symmetry groups to enumerate basic kinematic chains has been extended by making use of the subgroup structure of the symmetry groups. This refinement not only makes the ...
