Static and Dynamic Properties of Gravelly Soils
The behavior of gravelly soils has been the focus of much research in recent years. Large-scale penetration and triaxial tests, shear-wave velocity measurements, insitu freezing and sampling,...
Flood Control Doesn't Have to be Ugly
The recently completed flood control project in Rochester, Minn. shows how innovative engineering combined with aesthetically-sensitive design can integrate flood protection into an urban...
Designing for the First Flush
This article explains some of the details involved in separating the first flush of a storm event from the remainder of the storm. It also explains how to provide primary treatment of...
A Texas-Sized SSO Solution
Houston is under the gun to control chronic overflows in its sanitary-sewer-collection system--a wet-weather problem that has plagued the city for years. For a problem this massive, the...
Real-Time Control for a Robotic Rebar Bender
Job conditions and variability in the properties of the stock material combine in a rebar bending operation to create a challenging environment for a robotic bender. This paper reports...
On the Dynamics and Control of Flexible Orbiting Systems: An Approach with Application
A relatively general formulation for studying the dynamics and control of an arbitrary spacecraft, with interconnected flexible, deployable and articulating structural members, is reviewed...
Thermoelastic Theory of Cylindrical Sandwich Shells with Piezoelectric Sensors or Actuators
Cylindrical sandwich shells with piezoelectric longitudinal and ring elements bonded to the outer and inner surfaces are considered in this paper. Thermal effects are included in the analysis,...
Mechanics of Curved Fiber Bundles in Composites
Fiber undulations are inherent to manufacturing processes like braiding and filament-winding, and sometimes occur as defects in other composite structures. This paper summarizes the status...
