Bao, Xiaoqi; Badescu, Mircea; Bar-Cohen, Yoseph; Lih, Shyh-Shiuh; Sherrit, Stewart; Chang, Zensheu; Chen, Beck; Widholm, Scott; Ostlund, Patrick, 2011, "Sensor for direct measurement of the boundary shear stress in fluid flow", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/41997, 18th Annual International Symposium on Smart Structures/ NDE, San Diego, California, March 7-10, 2011, JPL Open Repository
The formation of scour patterns at bridge piers is driven by the forces at the boundary of the water flow. In most experimental scour studies, indirect processes have been applied to estimate the shear and normal stress using measured velocity profiles. The estimations are based... |
