The Biography of Dr. Terry Winkler
… written biography of the life of Dr. Terry Winkler. I obtained information on Dr. Winkler's life by working in conjunction with Dr. Winkler, his friends, and family members. In preparing for this thesis, I researched the multiple considerations of biographical writing in texts such as …

Late Quaternary sedimentary architecture and depositional history of the Monahans Dune Field, Winkler County, TX.
The Monahans dune field is a Quaternary eolian system on the Southern High Plains in west Texas. Previous work characterizing the Monahans is limited by the depth and spatial coverage of stratigraphic analyses. This study presents the initial results of an ongoing study of the dune system …

Interação solo-estaca de plataformas offshore
Winkler springs are used to represent soil in the Structural Analysis of Offshore Platforms. The soil characteristics for the non-linear soil behaviour are obtained from laboratory tests or using full scale loaded piles. The API Code through the "P-Y" curves, defines the stress-strain soil …

Contribution to kinematic and inertial analysis of piles by analytical and experimental methods
… existing simplified analytical approaches of the Winkler type, as they are more accurate, self - standing, free of empirical constants and provide more realistic simulation of the problem. The main advantage over numerical methods (finite and boundary elements) lies in the derivation of the …

Buckling and growth of disbonds in honeycomb sandwich structure
… of a two-dimensional orthotropic solid. A linear Winkler beam model was used to predict buckling of a through-width disbond. The model buckling loads agreed with specimen test results with an average difference of 1.7%. A non-linear Winkler beam model was then developed to predict post-buckling …

Nonlinear vibration and chaotic motion of uniform and non-uniform carbon nanotube resonators.
… nonlinearity and being rested on nonlinear Winkler and Pasternak foundations. The nonlinear vibrations of the curved CNTs are developed using the Eringen theory in conjunction with the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and the thermal effect is also considered for the vibration of CNTs. The effects …

An exploratory study of administrative practices and their relationship to the use of microcomputers in instructional programs in Illinois community colleges
… The study was based on a 1986, K-12 study by Winkler, Stasz, and Shavelson.

In-Situ Testing of a Carbon/Epoxy IsoTruss Reinforced Concrete Foundation Pile
… computer program called Lpile; 2) a Winkler foundation model; and, 3) a simple analysis based on fundamental mechanics of materials principles. Both Lpile and Winkler foundation model predictions concluded that the IRC pile should hold approximately twice the load of the SRC pile. …

The Hahn-Banach Separation Theorem in Free Convexity
… work in this thesis is a treatment of the Effros-Winkler Hahn-Banach Separation Theorem in the setting of matrix convex sets. This result is subsequently interpreted as a theorem concerning noncommutative sets in free analysis. Lastly, a new and complete characterization (in terms of liner …

Response of continuous pipelines to tunnel induced ground deformations
… to the heading (Pinto and Whittle; 2001) with Winkler models for pipe-soil interactions. The free-field ground deformations are described in terms of two parameters describing the modes of cavity deformation and the elastic Poisson's ratio of the ground. The solutions have been evaluated by …

Two-Dimensional Analysis of Stacked Geosynthetic Tubes
… foundation is modeled as a tensionless Winkler foundation with normal forces proportional to the downward deflection of the ground. An external water load on one side is also investigated for a single tube and a 2-1 formation, with rigid blocks to prevent the structure from sliding along …

Implications of a Universal Healthcare System in the United States: Why Individual Health Is Now of National Concern
… address the free-rider problem recognized David Winkler, shows that Winkler's solution goes too far by indiscriminately punishing every unhealthy individual within a universal healthcare system.

Two-Dimensional Vibrations of Inflated Geosynthetic Tubes Resting on a Rigid or Deformable Foundation
… foundation variations are considered: rigid, Winkler, and Pasternak. Mathematica 4.2 was employed to solve the nonlinear equilibrium and dynamic equations, incorporating boundary conditions by use of a shooting method. General assumptions are made that involve the geotextile material and …

Heat as medicine - a study of the ceiling retrofit programme in South African low cost housing
… intervention options available to governments, Winkler et al (2002) measured the energy cost-benefits of different interventions in low cost housing across South Africa. These interventions included installing insulated ceilings (retrofitting), roof insulation, partitions, wall insulation, …
