The dynamic response of elastically-mounted cylinders in a sinusoidally oscillating two-dimensional flow has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The experiments were carried out in a large U-shaped water tunnel, with smooth and sand-roughened circular cylinders. The results have been expressed in terms of lift coefficients, relative amplitudes of oscillation, Keulegan-Carpenter number, Reynolds number, Strouhal number, and a mass parameter. A theoretical analysis has been carried out by assuming the transverse force varies harmonically. Furthermore, the instantaneous values of the displacement have been predicted through the use of the Duhamel's integral. The results have shown that elastically-mounted cylinders undergo synchronous oscillations at a reduced velocity of 5.7 when the vortex shedding frequency coincides with the natural frequency of the cylinder. Away from the region of synchronization the cylinder is subjected to forced response by vortices shedding at a frequency smaller or larger than the natural frequency of the cylinder. (Author).

The transverse forces acting on smooth and sand-roughened circular cylinders immersed in an harmonically oscillating flow have been measured using a recently constructed U-shaped water tunnel. The lift coefficient and the frequency of the alternating force have been determined. For smooth cylinders, the lift coefficients were found to depend on both the Reynolds and the Keulegan-Carpenter numbers for Reynolds numbers between about 20,000 and 150,000. For rough cylinders, the lift coefficients were found to be independent of the Reynolds number within the range of relative roughnesses and Reynolds numbers tested. The results have also shown that the lift coefficients for smooth cylinders at low Reynolds numbers are nearly identical with those obtained for rough cylinders at very high Reynolds numbers at the corresponding amplitude ratios. For both rough and smooth cylinders, the transverse force is a significant fraction of the in-line force and must be taken into consideration in the design of structures. It is recommended that the experiments be extended to the self-excited hydro-elastic oscillations of cylinders in harmonic flows. (Author).

"This report presents the results of an extensive experimental investigation of the in-line and transverse forces acting on smooth, sand-roughened, and marine-roughened circular cylinders (k/D=1/50) of identical length-to-diameter ratio (L/D=2) placed in a sinusoidally oscillating flow. The drag, inertia, and the maximum force coefficients have been determined through the use of the Fourier analysis. The transverse force (lift) has been analysed in terms of its root-mean-square value. In addition, the amplitude of the first ten harmonics have been determined. The results are presented in both graphical and tabulated form in terms of the Reynolds number, Keulegan-Carpenter number, relative roughness and the frequency parameter."--Abstract.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
