The exact frequencies and mode shapes of flexural vibration of a
rotating beam are found. The beam has a linear mass and stiffness
distribution.
With certain simplifying assumptions, the kinetic and potential
energies of the rotating beam are found. Hamilton's principle is then
used to determine the equation governing the...
Bayocean sand spit lies along the northern Oregon coast
approximately 70 miles south of the Columbia River. Work was
begun on the construction of a large recreational resort on the spit
in the early 1900's. At the outset, the resort appeared to have a
promising future. However, a three-year delay...
Observations of temperature between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermistor chain in the North Pacific (50N, 145 W) during the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE). The chain was usually towed at a speed of 3 m/s around a 20km square on alternate days for a three-week...

A summary is presented of drift bottle releases and recoveries for
87 cruises taken between January 1961 and January 1971. Statistics for
each drift bottle recovered are given for the total time elapsed between
release and recovery, the velocity and the direction toward which each
bottle traveled. Maps of drift...
