Supporting evidence from the New York drumlin field that elongate subglacial bedforms indicate fast ice flow
Although drumlins and other subglacial bedforms are well-studied features, controls on their formation and morphometry have remained elusive. Of current interest is the hypothesis that elongate bedforms (length:width ratios]/10) indicate fast ice flow, and perhaps the location of past ice streams. This hypothesis is explored by analysing drumlins from the New York State drumlin field. A subset ...
متن کاملBedforms and Mine Burial
The generation and migration of bedforms (eg, ripples, megaripples and sand bars) on sandy bottoms in the nearshore (0-8 m water depths) provides a mechanism for objects on the seafloor to become buried. As a bedform migrates past a mine, the mine will fall to the low point of the bedform trough before subsequently being buried by the passage of the following bedform crest. The statistics of mi...
متن کاملSecond order sensitivity analysis for shape optimization of continuum structures
This study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. A new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. All the second order required derivatives will be calculat...
متن کاملDexterous Workspace Shape and Size Optimization of Tricept Parallel Manipulator
This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of Tricept parallel manipulator. Observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. The effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...
متن کاملAsymptotic Shape in a Continuum Growth Model
A continuum growth model is introduced. The state at time t, St, is a subset of R and consists of a connected union of randomly sized Euclidean balls, which emerge from outbursts at their center points. An outburst occurs somewhere in St after an exponentially distributed time with expected value |St| −1 and the location of the outburst is uniformly distributed over St. The main result is that ...
