  • Dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces

    Creator:
    Grecco, Michael G.
    Abstract:
    The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary, ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...

  • An evaluation of coastal Oregon's marginal aggregates

    Creator:
    Clemmons, Gregory H.
    Abstract:
    Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregates. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal, aggregate available for construction purposes. An evaluation of these marginal aggregates is the purpose of this paper. There are four classes of marginal rocks found on the Oregon Coast. Basalts, high in...

  • Evaluation of emulsified asphalt for use in Saudi Arabia

    Creator:
    Al-abdulwahhab, Hamad I.
    Abstract:
    Saudi Arabia currently contains 31000 km (18600 mi) of paved roads and 42000 km (25200 mi) of agricultural roads, with the prospect of more roads to be constructed. The low population (6 million) compared to the large area of the country (2,253,300 km², 900,000 mi²) coupled with the high cost...

  • The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

    Creator:
    Côté, Jessica Magee
    Abstract:
    In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

  • Transport and adsorption of proteinanceous particles during flow through porous media

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Tokuo
    Abstract:
    This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act. The differential equation for the...

  • Nonlinear diffraction theory by an eigenfunction expansion of the Green's function

    Creator:
    Chen, Min-Chu
    Abstract:
    A second-order nonlinear diffraction theory is developed for a large diameter circular cylinder under the action of surface gravity waves of finite amplitude in water of-finite depth. Boundary value problems are derived by using a perturbation expansion and the solutions for the diffracted waves are given in terms of Fredholm...

  • Application of the generalized Melnikov method to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension

    Creator:
    Fadel, Suzan M.
    Abstract:
    The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if these cross waves are chaotic. The Lagrangian density function for surface waves with surface tension is simplified by...

  • Comparison of Vermont and Oregon statutory land surveyor laws

    Creator:
    Norton, Robert Leon
    Abstract:
    Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed. A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land surveys on settlement, is given....

  • Irregular points in wavemaker boundary value problem

    Creator:
    Tanaka, Yoshihiro
    Abstract:
    A global solution is presented that accurately accounts for the singular behavior at all irregular points. The linearized boundary value problem in a semi-infinite strip in the physical plane is transformed into a smooth unit disk by two successive conformal mappings. The global solution results from a Fredholm integral equation...
