Modal Interaction in the Response of Laminates
A higher-order shear-deformation theory is used to analyze the interaction of two modes in the response of thick laminated rectangular plates to transverse harmonic loads. The case of...

An Energy Based Model for Coastal Bays and Lakes
The North American Great Lakes have numerous tributary bays and small lakes along their coastline that open directly to the Great Lakes through natural or engineered channels. As a consequence...

Resonant Column Testing of Dynamic Rock Properties
Critical parameters for geophysical wave propagation studies are the dynamic elastic properties (shear and Young's moduli, and Poisson's ratio) and the intrinsic material damping of rocks....

Application of NMR to Rotating Granular Flow
Granular flow in a steadily rotating cylinder, having a large length-to-diameter ratio, is measured by nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This non-invasive technique is capable...

Microwave Measurements of the Water Content of Bentonite
The theory of operation of microwave coaxial resonators is described. Sample preparation and the application of resonator techniques to the measurement of the permittivity (dielectric...

Avoiding Vibration in Penstocks
One objective of this paper is to indicate the potential sources of pressure pulsations within a hydraulic conduit system and the range of forcing frequencies associated with these sources....

Influence of Three Sonic Devices on Fish Behaviour
Three sound emitting devices have been developed to control fish movement in the vicinity of generating stations. These devices have the advantage of increased flexibility in terms of...

Generation of Native FE in Lunar Soil
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) studies on lunar samples produced some unexpected results which led to recognition of the presence of abundant single-domain Fe^o...

Constrained Viscoelastic Layers for Passive Vibration Control of Structures
Infills with constrained viscoelastic layers for increasing the energy absorption capacity of structures are examined. The infills are expected to 'work' in the...

Seismic Interaction Among Numerous Masses Founded on a Viscoelastic Stratum
The steady-state harmonic response of systems comprising numerous masses resting on a homogeneous, viscoelastic stratum with hysteretic damping is studied. The stratum, bearing on a rigid...

Analysis of Resonance in Pressurized Piping Systems Via a Microcomputer
In this paper a digital simulation technique for the analysis of resonance is presented that is appropriate for microcomputer applications. The model utilizes the transfer matrix method...

Evaluating Nonlinear Soil Behavior Using the Resonant Column
An analysis is presented that attempts to match a mathematical model to the nonlinear behavior obtained from the resonant column test. This model consists of an oscillator with a restoring...

Recent Developments in Resonant Column Testing
The resonant column method of testing soils is reviewed. Recent developments in equipment, specimen configurations, and testing schemes are presented. Some equipment can perform both resonance...
