Analyses and Field Tests for Hydraulic Transients Sultan Hydroelectric Project
Two in-line Francis units with their long discharge conduit and bypass valves present some unique problems in controlling hydraulic transients in this system. The problems were compounded...

Advance Prediction of Flow-Induced Variations
Frequency analysis of hydraulic vibrations has been applied using a transfer matrix and impedance method. The computer program is given for the self-excited and forced vibrations, together...

Analysis and Testing of Transient Pressures at Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project
The objective of this paper is to present a comparative discussion of the results of theoretical analysis of transient pressures and of field tests performed on the Camp Far West Hydroelectric...

Dynamic Analysis of Existing Tarbela Intake Towers
According to general practice at the time of the design, the pseudostatic method of applying earthquake loading was used. The basic acceleration was 0. 1g. A post-construction seismological...

Transient Analysis of Variable Geometry Turbines
An interactive general purpose hydraulic transient computer simulation procedure is presented which is capable of performing transient analysis of variable geometry turbine installations....

Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Armor Units Subject to Wave Impact
Concrete armor units are commonly employed for the protection of shorelines and rubble structures. Their design is primarily based on hydrodynamic stability. However, their structural...

Broke2: A Program for Broken Wire Analysis
A computer program to study the dynamic behavior of an electric transmission line system when wires suddenly break has been developed by the authors. All three of the line elements: the...

Dynamics of Machine Foundation
The art of designing machine foundations, supporting vibratory load has changed from the approximate rule-of-thumb to the scientifically sound engineering procedure. However, the vast...

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction by the Boundary Element Method: A Comparison Study
A comparison study of three Boundary Element Method approaches is attempted on the basis of a typical three-dimensional, dynamic soil-structure interaction problem. The vertical transient...

Solving Finite Element Structural Dynamic Problems on Small Computers Using Semi-Explicit Methods
Numerical techniques based on the partial decomposition of a coefficient matrix, are developed for structural dynamic problems. Improved iterative techniques are discussed which could...

The Lanczos Method in Structural Dynamics
The solution of the equations of motion often results in the solution of an eigenvalue problem in which the system matrices are large. Traditionally, the solution of this problem has employed...

Response of Eccentrically Braced Tall Buildings
The inelastic dynamic response aspects of tall steel buildings with eccentric K-bracing and eccentric X-bracing systems are examined, when subjected to factored El-Centro and computer...

Measuring Dynamic Occupant Loads by Microcomputer
Present building codes regard live loads caused by human movement as deterministic; values are based upon experience and tests run in 1912, 1922, and 1932. An experimental project to statistically...
