abstract many studies have been conducted on the characteristics of hydraulic jump over gradually expanding cross sections, but comparatively few have been carried out on basins with convergent wall. in the present research, the hydraulic jump characteristic of the stilling basin with convergent wall has been investigated. the main objective of this research is evaluation of conjugate depths ra...

Size effects are explored experimentally in a tetragonal lattice structure. Size dependence of rigidity is nonclassical elastic and is interpreted via Cosserat elasticity. The characteristic lengths are about a third the cell size. The Cosserat characteristic length for torsion is `t = 5.6 mm. The characteristic length for bending is `b = 5.4 mm. The size effect in torsion was a factor 4.5 in r...

This paper proposed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of rectangular single-layered graphene sheets under in-plane loading on all edges simply is supported. The characteristic equations of the graphene sheets are derived and the analysis formula is based on the nonlocal Mindlin plate. This theory is considering both the small length scale effects and transverse shear deformation ef...

An approach is presented for conducting multiscale statistical process control (MSSPC), based on a library of basis functions provided by wavelet packets. The proposed approach explores the improved ability of wavelet packets in extracting features with arbitrary locations, and having different localizations in the time-frequency domain, in order to improve the detection performances achieved w...
