[1] The boundary of the Martian crustal dichotomy in the eastern hemisphere is one of the most striking topographic features on the planet. The long wavelength topography of much of the boundary is expressed by a broad rise and an arched ramp that slopes downward from the southern highlands into the northern lowlands and often ends in a steep scarp. Lithospheric flexure of the southern highland...

Abstract In this paper, the probabilistic behavior of plain concrete beams subjected to flexure is studied using a continuous mesoscale model. The model two-dimensional where aggregate and mortar are treated as separate constituents having their own characteristic properties. represented ellipses generated under prescribed grading curves. Ellipses randomly placed so it requires analysis for Mon...

SUMMARY This Report considers theoretically and experimentally some of the problems associated with the flexure of two unequal cylindrical shells Joined by a conical frustum. Particular attention is given to the determination of the overall flexursl stiffness of the conical frustum and to structural design considerations associated with the provision of a separation capability in the frustum. T...

A new map and cross sections of the Khula Kangri and Kankar Pünzum-Monlakarchung High Himalayan ranges in the Tibet-Bhutan frontier area are presented from integration of unpublished mapping from the summit section of Khula Kangri and new remote sensing together with previous mapping. The ranges define an orographic bifurcation of the High Himalaya that results in a north-south repetition of th...
