(1983)The classic water-wave theories approximate waveforms and associated motions under certain boundary conditions. Only Airy linear and Stokes’ second and third-order wave theories are capable of accurately describing the ...
-
(1984)Deflection is often the dominant design criterion of a flexural member. The theoretical methods commonly used to determine beam deflections become extremely complex for irregular and combined loading conditions. A finite ...
-
(1982)The importance of stress concentration factors in machines and stuctures led to the development of various experimental and analytical techniques for determining them. One of these methods is the application of finite ...
