Nonlinear Behavior of Thin Slender Free Surface Non-Newtonian Elliptical Rings
This paper analyzes the nonlinear motion of a slender concentric thin elliptical ring of an incompressible, non-Newtonian fluid. This study includes the physical effects of surface tension,...

Stress Relaxation Analysis for Sealants
A solution method for stress relaxation analysis of systems composed linear viscoelastic material in a state of plane strain is presented. The incremental, finite element method takes...

Computerized Tomographic Analysis of Fluid Flow in Fractured Tuff
The purpose of this summary is to demonstrate the usefulness of X-ray computerized tomography to observe fluid flow down a fracture and rock matrix inhibition in a sample of Bandelier...

Stochastic Response of a Caster-Mounted System
The response statistics of a caster-mounted system with white noise excitation are estimated using the generalized equivalent linearization method. The displacement and velocity covariances...

Water Wave Generated by a Porous Wavemaker
A vertical porous wavemaker sitting in an infinitely long channel of constant depth is studied. The wavemaker performs horizontal oscillatory motion. A simplified analytical approach for...

Dynamic Response of an Infinite Beam Supported by a Fluid
The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic response of an infinite beam supported by a fluid on one side, and subjected to dynamic loading on the other side. The fluid underneath...

Computation of Wind Pressures on L-Shaped Buildings
The paper refers to the numerical simulation of turbulent wind conditions around an arbitrarily-shaped building composed of two rectangular blocks. The time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations...

Wind Effect on Oblique Motion of Two Bodies in a Uniform Flow
The wind effect on the general translational motion of a circular cylinder through an inviscid and incompressible fluid, conveyed by a uniform flow at infinity, in the vicinity of another...

Three-Dimensional Thermal Jump in Stratified Cooling Channel
This study is concerned with basic properties of three-dimensional thermal jumps. Temperature measurements obtained in three-dimensional thermal jumps are presented. The jumps analyzed...

Computation of Flow in Ice-Covered Dune-Bed Channels
A numerical method for solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is developed to study the flow over sand dunes in two-dimensional channels. The method is applied to calculate...

Turbulence, and Energy Loss, at Combining Pipe Junctions
Efforts to measure and describe the loss of energy at 90? sharp-edged junctions are described. The work is focussed on energy losses at discharge and area ratios for which there are no...

Flow Visualization of Lid-Driven Cylindrical Cavity Flow
The lid-driven cylindrical cavity flows in the laminar region are quantitatively visualized by a new flow visualization method called the digital vector velocimetry method. Particle streak...

General Mechanism of Turbulence
By considering the vortex structures of turbulence and using the concept and theory of the pulsative convection and diffusion of instantaneous vorticity in a viscous fluid motion, the...

Wave Induced Vortex Near Seashore
The vortex motion behind submerged breakwaters in the nearshore region is studied. The RCPWAVE model (Ebersole et al., 1986) is used to calculate the wave field and thus the radiator stresses...

The Flow in the Front Stagnation Region of a Square Plate with a Small Disturbing Wire in its Upstream
The flow in the front stagnation region of a square plate was investigated experimentally in a water channel. A small wire was placed in the upstream of the square plate to create a small...

The Transverse Vortex in the Wall Regions of the Turbulent Boundary Layers in the Flows with Adverse Pressure Gradient
The vortical structures in the turbulent boundary layers in the flow with adverse pressure gradient were investigated by the hydrogen bubble technique. The vortices were visualized in...

Functional Analysis in Continuum and Structural Mechanics
Following brief historical remarks, the equations of the hypercircle and hypersphere of Prager and Synge and associated formulae for pointwise bounds are derived. The application of the...

First-Passage Failure Predictions for Yielding Primary-Secondary Systems
Approximate methods are used to investigate the effect of nonnormality (non-Gaussianity) on the time of first-passage failure for a linear secondary system mounted on a yielding primary...

Nonstationary Response Characteristics of Linear MDOF Systems
A new approximate methodology for nonstationary random vibration analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom linear systems is developed. Simple analytical expressions for the covariance response...

Similarity Solutions of Starting Jets and Starting Plumes
Similarity solutions of the starting jets and the starting plumes are obtained using a one dimensional model based on the top-hat profiles and the symmetry assumption for the velocity...
