(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )A matrix method of analyzing beams on discrete, non-linear elastic supports is presented. This approach relates the boundary conditions at the left end of the beam to that at the right end as a function of the beam properties, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Much of the research in the past on the biodegradation of TNT has been directed towards pure culture studies with very little emphasis on mixed populations. Researchers have observed that, on many occasions, microorganisms ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )Froude modeling, where strength and modulus properties and surface overpressure scale as the length scale, is a potential method for determining the structural response of underground protective structures at overpressures ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Owner and contractor companies are experiencing organizational change in an attempt to maintain or increase their marketshare in a global economy. This change is driven by attempts to reduce fixed costs, decrease workloads ...
