Given the impracticality of attempting to directly measure wind speeds in tornadoes, wind
speed estimation typically relies on the assessment of damage to structures and vegetation …

High-speed railway tunnel lining fragments can cause collisions with trains and track
blockages, severely affecting train operation. When a train passes through a tunnel where …

Malicious acts, but likewise unintended accidental explosions, can lead to severe structural
damage and resulting debris throw, which poses a significant threat to humans and facilities …

A sufficient database of measured flyrock ranges produced by blasting at a particular site
can be used to determine the probability that flyrock will exceed any prescribed range. Such …

The flight of compact debris can be highly stochastic in nature. However, standard flight
equations are deterministic after assuming a spherical shape for gravel. This study proposes …

In this thesis, a model of the dynamics during the landing phase of an interplanetary lander
mission is developed in a 3 DOF approach with the focus lying on landing by propulsive …

In this thesis, the stochastic nature of 3-dimensional compact windborne debris flight is
investigated experimentally and computationally. Previous literature (Holmes, 2004) …
