  • Uncertainty in neutron probe measurements of soil moisture for irrigation scheduling

    Creator:
    Wright, Norman D.
    Abstract:
    Soil moisture in a crop's root zone must be regularly monitored to accurately predict crop water requirements. Most irrigation scheduling services currently use the neutron probe to monitor soil moisture. Unfortunately, there is a degree of variability associated with use of the neutron probe creating uncertainty in measurements of soil...

  • Exact frequencies and mode shapes of a rotating beam

    Creator:
    Wright, A. D. (Alan Duane), 1954-
    Abstract:
    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...
