The dynamics of non-divergent flow on a rotating sphere are described by the conservation of absolute vorticity. The
analytical study of the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation is greatly facilitated by the expansion ...
This paper considers cascaded, lumped, flexible systems, which may be short and non-uniform, which are driven by an arbitrarily moving boundary. Such systems exhibit vaguely wavelike behaviour yet defy classical wave ...
This paper describes how pure
travelling waves in cascaded, lumped, uniform, mass-spring systems can be
defined, established, and maintained, by controlling two boundary actuators,
one at each end. In most cases the ...
In order to gauge the potential impact of wave power in Ireland, the capacity factor of theoretical wave farms deployed at various locations around the Irish coast is compared to the system-wide capacity factor of wind ...
This paper shows how pure travelling waves in cascaded, lumped, uniform, mass-spring systems can be defined, established, and maintained, by controlling two boundary actuators, one at each end. In most cases the control ...
A Discrete Particle Scheme (DPS) consisting of interacting circular particles is
utilised to examine the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique.
Synthetic earth models of various complexity are generated ...
A companion paper considers travelling and standing waves in cascaded, lumped,
mass-spring systems, controlled by two boundary actuators, one at each end,
when the system is uniform. It first proposes definitions of waves ...
A database of research quality CPTU and shear wave velocity
information for Norwegian marine clays has been assembled so as to study the small
strain stiffness relationships for these materials and to examine the potential ...
Flexible robots are frequently represented by lumped models. In the mechanics of lumped systems, wave concepts have been avoided, for good reasons, generally. In the control of lumped flexible systems, however, wave concepts ...

this conference considers travelling and standing waves in cascaded, lumped,
mass-spring systems, controlled by two boundary actuators, one at each end,
