Abstract: A simple approximate method of analyzing the accumulation (propagation) of random error in closed survey traverses is presented. With emphasis on the practical and approximate, a means of assessing survey quality is proposed ...

Abstract: In this paper we examine internal sloshing motions in 2-D numerical wave tanks subjected to horizontal excitation. In all of the cases studied, the rectangular tank of liquid has a width-to-depth ...

Abstract: The analytical stereoplotter is a modern mapping tool, usually acquired by photogrammetric organizations with a history of providing clients with topographic maps. However, the analytical stereoplotter is much more than a ...

Abstract: There is a controversy about whether the classical yield lines analysis methods are in fact different methods or simply different ways to develop basically the same method. In this paper two methods are proposed that, ...

Abstract: Communities near forests are vulnerable to wildfires. Retrofit measures to reduce the vulnerability of residential buildings to wildfire include improvements that hinder, mitigate, or prevent damage from wildfire heat and ...

Abstract: The negative squeeze lubrication problem is investigated by means of numerical simulations that account for the dynamics of vaporization. The model is based on bubble dynamics, governed by the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the theory of nonlinear internal-solitary waves of the type observed in coastal seas. It also describes a numerical solution of an initial-value problem that leads to an ...
