Abstract: Combined axial-torsional experiments have been conducted at room temperature on thin-walled tubes to investigate the strain hardening behavior of annealed 304 stainless steel due to creep. The ...

Abstract: This paper introduced a new approach that employed the assumed-modes method and the receptance method, to the sensitivity analysis and the optimization of rotor-bearing systems. First, the frequency ...

Abstract: Previous research has identified five canonical rainfall distributions in the United States; however, identification of these rainfall distributions did not include any rainfall data in the state of Texas. In this study, ...

Abstract: The limiting nutrient in North Biscayne Bay identified using the Redfield ratio does not correspond to a significant quantitative relation between measured concentrations of the identified nutrient and chlorophyll a. ...

Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between the curve number and regional rainfall characteristics, and also determines the extent to which intrastorm application of the curve number method is likely to generate ...

Abstract: In engineering practice the curve-number method is sometimes inappropriately applied to low-rainfall events, thereby ignoring the dependence of the curve number on the rainfall amount. Lack of adjustment of the curve number ...

Abstract: The curve-number method is reviewed and assessed using rainfall and runoff measurements at 80 well-instrumented experimental watersheds in the United States. Key results of the study show that the applicable curve number ...

Abstract: Water-quality flow (WQF) is used as the basis for designing some stormwater control measures. The conventional method for determining the WQF incorporates several assumptions that do not reflect reality. A method is presented ...

Abstract: A novel method is developed and demonstrated for identifying the dominant component of rainfall-driven infiltration and inflow (I&I) in sanitary sewers. The method uses synoptic measurements of rainfall, sewer flow ...

Abstract: A method is proposed and demonstrated for extracting the spatial and temporal characteristics of individual rainfall events using hourly rainfall measurements at an array of rain gauges. The method is based on identifying ...
