They showed that the solution blows up in a finite time, proving that in the presence of a nonlinear source such as earthquake shocks, the bridge will collapse in a finite time. For more detail, see also the quoted report [19] on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure [9,10,20]. The study...
In the upper transonic region, shocks become stronger. However, we are only interested in the wave-drag at the lower end of the transonic region. Additionally, for all three cases, VMRC decreases when the wave-drag is included. The difference is largest for fuel law “b” (−15%) and...
