A method of solving for the deflected shape of freely discontinuous plates and pavement slabs subjected to a variety of loads including transverse loads, in-plane forces, and externally applied couples is presented. The method is applicable to uniform and discontinuous plates and pavement slabs with freely-variable foundation support, including hol

Aviation occupations often require the performance of tasks under stressful conditions. Attempts to relate differences among individuals in performance under stress to personality variables have generally not been successful. Based upon responses to a fear of shock item in an attitude questionnaire describing numerous stressful situations, subjects

The apparatus known as the Dynaflect has been used to measure a number of deflection basins on highway pavements throughout the country. The initial goal of this work was to determine the elastic parameters of the materials composing the highway structure using the results of these measurements.
