15. Supplementary Notes Project performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration; Project Title: Implementation of Research Results Regarding Shear Strength and Stability of Embankments 16. Abstract A number of TxDOT-sponsored studies and research projects have been conducted over the years regarding shear strength and slope stability i...

The background method is adapted to derive rigorous limits on surface speeds and bulk energy dissipation for shear stress driven flow in two and three dimensional channels. By-products of the analysis are nonlinear energy stability results for plane Couette flow with a shear stress boundary condition: when the applied stress is gauged by a dimensionless Grashoff number Gr, the critical Gr for e...

Recent numerical studies in the area of transition to turbulence discovered that the classical plane Couette flow, plane Poiseuille flow, and pipe Poiseuille flow share some universal 3D steady coherent structure in the form of a “streak-roll-critical layer”. As the Reynolds number approaches infinity, the steady coherent structure approaches a 3D limiting shear of the form (U(y, z), 0, 0) in v...

Plywood manufactured from thin veneer sheets of different species is one of the most traditional structural composite panels. The objective of this study was to produce experimental plywood panels using a temperature of 100 °C, which is 10 to 30% lower than typical press temperature of plywood manufacture. It was determined that shear strength characteristics of the samples were not adversely i...

 An innovative method of accessing connected data sources on the internet is keyword search. We propose to route keywords only relevant in order reduce substantial processing cost search queries throughout all providers. a novel for computing top-k routing plans by considering their propensity contain responses specific query. use summary links between components referencin...

STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical in vitro study on porcine and human spinal segments. OBJECTIVE To investigate axial rotational stability of the thoracic spine under dorsal and ventral shear loads. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Idiopathic scoliosis is a condition restricted exclusively to humans. An important difference between humans and other vertebrates is the fact that humans ambulate in a ful...
