AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF FLOOD WAVE IMPACT PRESSURES TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NEW SEAWALL DESIGNS USING A DAM-BREAK APPROACH
… the energy dissipating ability, in terms of impact pressures, of newly designed seawalls which incorporate unique energy dissipaters, with the ultimate goal of predicting the effectiveness of these new designs. To achieve these aims, a novel technique for generating floodwater waves has been …

Recovering the Promise of Public Truth: Juridification and the Loss of Purpose in Public Inquiries
… intended social purposes of inquiries and the impact pressures of juridification have had on them, and consider what steps inquiries may take to resist these pressures. Public inquiries, formerly relied on as an alternative to criminal and civil proceedings and as a means to engage the public …

A Study of the Effects of Piston Secondary Motion on Piston Ring Conformability and Coolant Cavitation in Heavy-Duty Engines
… ring pack designs. However, the effect of piston impact on the bore distortion for ring-liner conformability analyses has not been addressed, even though the magnitude of the piston impact distortions can be as high as those from thermal distortions. This piston impact effect was added to existing …

Wave impacts on rectangular structures
… and sensitivity in the results for wave impact. In a practical situation, many parameters such as the wave climate will not be known with any accuracy especially the frequency and severity of wave breaking. Even if the wave spectrum is known, this is usually recorded offshore, requiring …

Experimental Quantification of the Phonon Drag Deformation Mechanism in Metals at Extreme Strain Rates
… of science and engineering; from meteorite impacts and impact induced crystallographic phase changes to high-speed machining and additive manufacturing. Despite the range of applications, many common high-rate impact experiments are intrinsically limited to strain rates of only 10⁴ s⁻¹ …
