Hydraulic radius is an important parameter in hydraulic calculation. It is often deemed that hydraulic radius can be replaced by the cross-sectional average water depth when the width to depth ratio (B/H) is greater than a certain value in traditional. Based on the various artificial cross-section and natural ones, value-taking errors of hydraulic radius are studied in this paper. The results show that it is feasible to adopt the average water depth as the hydraulic radius when B/H of rectangular section is larger than 40 or B/H of isosceles triangular section is larger than 12. But for natural river, B/H is different when water level changes and there is no single-valued corresponding relationship between relative error and B/H. Therefore, we advise that hydraulic radius could not be replaced by other variables in hydraulic calculation of natural rivers.

Drainage is defined as surface water drainage, either by gravity or by pump which aims to prevent inundation, maintain and lower the water level im order to avoid the amount of water. Ahmad Yani Airport has a poor drainage systems. Furthermore, land subsidence in Semarang area potential for experiencing flooding when the rainy season with a fairly high rainfall. Based on the results of processing the data showed that it is needed the land surface drainage channel with a cross-sectional shape of a trapezium. When the width of the base of the cross section is 3 meters , then the required channel depth is 3.9 meters with a hydraulic radius is 0.82-meter, and hydraulic depth is 3.05 meters. Drainase didefinisikan sebagai pembuangan air permukaan, baik secara gravitasi maupun dengan pompa yang bertujuan untuk mencegah terjadinya genangan, menjaga dan menurunkan permukaan air sehingga genangan air dapat dihindarkan. Bandar Udara Ahmad Yani dengan kondisi sistem drainase yang kurang baik dan penurunan permukaan tanah di wilayah Semarang, maka bila musim penghujan tiba dengan curah hujan yang cukup tinggi selalu berpotensi untuk mengalami banjir. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan data juga didapatkan hasil bahwa untuk menyesuaikan antara curah hujan di wilayah Semarang dengan luas area Bandar udara Achmad Yani diperlukan saluran drainase muka tanah berupa saluran dengan bentuk penampang trapezium. Bila lebar dasar dari penampang trapezim tersebut adalah 3 meter, maka diperlukan saluran sedalam 3,9 meter dengan Jari-jari hydraulic 0,82 meter, dan kedalaman hydraulic 3,05 meter.

The processes of displacement of drilling clay backfill flow from the intertubular space formed by internal surface of external and external surfaces of inner tubes are considered. In case of eccentric placement of pipes it is proposed in the form of a cross-section of the flow of a backfill to take the area limited from the outside by the Pascal's snail, and from the inside - the outer surface of the inner pipe at the first time. The formulas for determining areas of the cross section of the flow and the stagnant zone, the perimeter and the hydraulic radius of the section ofthe flow for the eccentric placement of the pipes in the bore are proposed. The dimensionless parameter α is introduced as the ratio of the centripetal distance to difference between internal radius of outer pipe and outer radius of inner tube. It was found that with increasing of α cross-sectional area and their hydraulic radii are increasing, and the area of stagnant zones decreases according to parabolic laws.It is established that with the growth of α velocity of the backfill flow decreases according to parabolic laws and their values are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The kinematics and dynamics of the flow of an ideally plastic material is fully characterized by the cross section occupied by the flowing material. It will be shown that appart from the case when the flowing material occupies the total cross sectional area of the duct, nontrivial cases exist with part of the cross section occupied by a stagnant material adhering to the walls. For the calculation of pressure losses it is then usefull to characterize the cross section of the duct by the value of the maximum hydraulic radius.

In order to study the influence of the cross-sectional shape on the stiffness of a spring, a finite element analysis software DEFORM is used to simulate and analyze the torsion of rectangular cross-section bars. The material of the bar is TS1800 SAE9254 and the cross-section of aspect ratio (w / h) is 1.5. From literature it is known that when the rectangular section bar is twisted, the shear stress at the four corners is zero, so elliptical corners can decrease the volume and increase the stiffness with the same volume. Five levels for the long side of the elliptical corner are set as 1 to 5 mm, and 3 levels are set for the short side. Torsion of the rectangular section bars under 15 kinds of geometric designs are simulated to find the preferred cross-sectional shape design by evaluating the cross-sectional area, load, and the maximum shear stress. The objective of the design is obtaining a uniform stress distribution with a larger spring stiffness and lighter weight. The optimal cross section of the bars is established as the spring geometry, and the pre-loading processing of the spring is simulated. The required load and the maximum shear stress data are obtained. The effects of load, cross-sectional area and maximum shear stress on the springs performance are investigated.

Prediction of the future retreat of Columbia Glacier, Alaska, required a calving law for the boundary condition at the terminus. Qualitative observations on the variations of all major iceberg-calving glaciers of Alaska suggest that calving is high whenever glaciers terminate in deep water, and greatly reduced whenever they terminate in shallow water. Calving relations were investigated based on calculations of calving speed, defined as the volume rate of iceberg discharge from the terminus divided by the cross-sectional area of the terminus. The calving speed was determined for 12 glaciers for which measurements of glacier speed, advance and retreat rates, and other variables were obtained. To extend the range of data, four additional periods of rapid retreat were examined. Values for the terminus characteristics of water depth, cliff height, and thickness of the terminus, averaged over the width of the glacier and over a year, were then examined in relation to the calculated speeds of calving. A statistical analysis to determine the form and coefficients of an empirical calving relation that approximates the data shows that calving speed is best fitted by a simple proportionality to average water depth at the terminus: 1 where v c is the calving speed and h w the water depth, both averaged over the width and over a year, and c a constant of proportionality. This gives a variance reduction fraction (similar to the coefficient of determination r2) of 0.90. To investigate seasonal changes in calving, data based on shorter time intervals were obtained at the head of embayments from Columbia Glacier. At intervals of approximately two months, the following expression fits intra-yearly calving at Columbia Glacier: 2 where D is the meltwater discharge from the glacier, hj is the height of the ice column unsupported by water buoyancy, a, b, c are constants, and vc and hu are evaluated at the embayment head. D was determined by correlation with a nearby glacial stream, and hu = h _ hw PW/PJ, where h is glacier thickness and pi and pw the densities of ice and water. Best-fit values of b and c are approximately 0.5 and -2, respectively. This yields a variance reduction fraction r2 of 0.83. Equation (2) does not fit data averaged over a year and over the width of the glacier and Equation (1) does not fit data obtained over shorter periods at the head of the embayment. Although the two equations are different in form, for similar or average values of D and h - hw (ice-cliff height), they give approximately similar results over the present range of the geometry of the terminus of Columbia Glacier. Whether this will be true after rapid retreat begins remains to be seen.

If a molecule or atom of material has molecular weight A, the number density of such units is given by n=Nρ/A, where N is Avogadro's number and ρ is the mass density of the material. The amount of scattering from each unit can be written by assigning an imaginary cross-sectional area σ to each unit. If the current I0 is incident on a thin slice of material of thickness z and the current I remains unscattered, then the scattering cross-section σ is defined by I=IOnσz. For a specimen that is not thin, the definition must be applied to each imaginary thin slice and the result I/I0 =exp(-nσz) is obtained by integrating over the whole thickness. It is useful to separate the variable mass-thickness w=ρz from the other factors to yield I/I0 =exp(-sw), where s=Nσ/A is the scattering cross-section per unit mass.

A gas reaction chamber has been designed and constructed for the JEM 7A transmission electron microscope which is based on a notably successful design by Hashimoto et. al. but which provides specimen tilting facilities of ± 15° aboutany axis in the plane of the specimen.It has been difficult to provide tilting facilities on environmental chambers for 100 kV microscopes owing to the fundamental lack of available space within the objective lens and the scope of structural investigations possible during dynamic experiments has been limited with previous specimen chambers not possessing this facility.A cross sectional diagram of the specimen chamber is shown in figure 1. The specimen is placed on a platinum ribbon which is mounted on a mica ring of the type shown in figure 2. The ribbon is heated by direct current, and a thermocouple junction spot welded to the section of the ribbon of reduced cross section enables temperature measurement at the point where localised heating occurs.

Ultraviolet laser-irradiation can be used to induce an insulator-to-conductor phase transition on the surface of Kapton polyimide. Such structures have potential applications as resistors or conductors for VLSI applications as well as general utility electrodes. Although the percolative nature of the phase transformation has been well-established, there has been little definitive work on the mechanism or extent of transformation. In particular, there has been considerable debate about whether or not the transition is primarily photothermal in nature, as we propose, or photochemical. In this study, cross-sectional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are utilized to characterize the nature of microstructural changes associated with the laser-induced pyrolysis of polyimide.Laser-modified polyimide samples initially 12 μm thick were prepared in cross-section by standard ultramicrotomy. Resulting contraction in parallel to the film surface has led to distortions in apparent magnification. The scale bars shown are calibrated for the direction normal to the film surface only.
