  2. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    The resistance to vertical flow (R i) of the i th soil layer with a saturated thickness d i and vertical hydraulic conductivity K v i is: = Expressing K v i in m/day and d i in m, the resistance (R i) is expressed in days. The total resistance (R t) of the aquifer is the sum of each layer's resistance: [8]

  3. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    Here l is the turbulence or eddy length scale, given below, and c μ is a k – ε model parameter whose value is typically given as 0.09; =. The turbulent length scale can be estimated as =, with L a characteristic length. For internal flows this may take the value of the inlet duct (or pipe) width (or diameter) or the hydraulic diameter.

  4. Hazen–Williams equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen–Williams_equation

    A result of adjusting the exponents is that the value of C appears more like a constant over a wide range of the other parameters. [8] The conversion factor k was chosen so that the values for C were the same as in the Chézy formula for the typical hydraulic slope of S=0.001. [9] The value of k is 0.001 −0.04. [10]

  5. Newmark's influence chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark's_influence_chart

    It is proportional to the number of elements in the chart and is given by 1/N, N being the total number of elements in the chart. For example, a typical chart consists of 200 elements; therefore, the influence value is 0.005. [1] The procedure for obtaining the vertical pressure at any point below a loaded area is as follows:

  6. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    Radius of curvature and center of curvature. In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature.For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point.

  7. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa.. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle.

  8. Johnson's parabolic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_parabolic_formula

    Graph of Johnson's parabola (plotted in red) against Euler's formula, with the transition point indicated. The area above the curve indicates failure. The Johnson parabola creates a new region of failure. In structural engineering, Johnson's parabolic formula is an empirically based equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of a column.

  9. K-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-value

    The most commonly used K value in Europe is the Fikentscher K value (referenced in DIN EN ISO 1628-1) obtained by dilute solution viscometry and solving Fikentscher equation. K Ic or linear-elastic plane-strain fracture toughness of materials; rate of change of curvature, used to assess and design vertical alignment of road and rail crests and dips
