AbstractThe flow of glacier ice is mapped using high-resolution photography and non-coherent-light speckle interferometry. Young’s fringe patterns result when a double-exposed photoplate image of the straining surface is illuminated by a narrow beam of coherent light. Geometry gives a relationship between the ice surface displacement vector and the interference fringe patterns. This displacement vector is corrected for rigid-body (camera) movement and projected onto the ice surface using topological maps. The strain during the time-lapse interval is thus known. Comparison with data acquired by surveying techniques at Nisqually Glacier, Washington, U.S.A., is limited because of small overlap of the surface studied. In the areas for which results can be compared, our experiments yield a flow of 0.6 m/d where conventional methods yield about 0.4 m/d.

Part I considers the problem of determining the source distribution over a circular aperture required to produce a prescribed radiation pattern. In particular, the problem of optimizing the narrow broadside pattern from a circular aperture is discussed in detail and an improved design method over Taylor's for line source is devised. Numerical examples are given.Part II deals with the analysis of the radiation pattern from a circular aperture from γ1 to γ2 with the traveling wave type source functions. Expressions suitable to the analysis and the synthesis are obtained and the narrow-beam and shaped-beam synthesis are discussed.

ABSTRACTUsing conventional virtual work method to derive geometric stiffness of a thin-walled beam element, researchers usually have to deal with nonlinear strains with high order terms and the induced moments caused by cross sectional stress results under rotations. To simplify the laborious procedure, this study decomposes an I-beam element into three narrow beam components in conjunction with geometrical hypothesis of rigid cross section. Then let us adopt Yanget al.'s simplified geometric stiffness matrix [kg]12×12of a rigid beam element as the basis of geometric stiffness of a narrow beam element. Finally, we can use rigid beam assemblage and stiffness transformation procedure to derivate the geometric stiffness matrix [kg]14×14of an I-beam element, in which two nodal warping deformations are included. From the derived [kg]14×14matrix, it can take into account the nature of various rotational moments, such as semi-tangential (ST) property for St. Venant torque and quasi-tangential (QT) property for both bending moment and warping torque. The applicability of the proposed [kg]14×14matrix to buckling problem and geometric nonlinear analysis of loaded I-shaped beam structures will be verified and compared with the results presented in existing literatures. Moreover, the post-buckling behavior of a centrally-load web-tapered I-beam with warping restraints will be investigated as well.
