Stemflow was evaluated in a water balance and its contribution to groundwater recharge determined. Gross precipitation, throughfall and stemflow were measured for one year in a pine forest (Tsukuba, Japan) to determine each component of the water balance in the forest. Groundwater recharge rates by
The fundamental vibration frequency of a bending plate is investigated by using an iterative approach. The biharmonic operator in the equation is reduced by performing the Laplace operator twice, and the finite difference method is used to solve the problem. The frequency and the deflection mode are
