Abstract: Annual flood peaks frequently stem from distinct flood-producing mechanisms. However, most inference procedures rely on a single distributional model, which can lead to ill-posed inferences of its upper-tail behavior. For ...

Abstract: Benefits of a functionally graded core increasing wrinkling stability of sandwich panels have been demonstrated in a recent paper (Birman, V., and Vo, N., 2017, “Wrinkling in Sandwich Structures With a Functionally Graded ...

Abstract: Modern manufacturing processes require unambiguous description of product morphology. In spite of numerous successes in the development of new mathematical tools, there not exists a method providing ...

Abstract: In a recent paper (1) modeling of viscous dissipation in fluid-saturated porous media is considered. This Comment concerns the energy conservation formulation of natural or mixed convection ...

Abstract: An approximate solution for the hydrodynamic force exerted on a moving rigid vertical plate in an incompressible inviscid fluid is derived when the plate is undergoing long‐period motion. The first‐order solution for the ...

Abstract: Adjoint methods integrated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools can be used to tackle geometric optimization in processes and equipment in an industrial environment. This work presents a workflow for geometric ...

Abstract: Heatlines were proposed in 1983 by Kimura and Bejan (1983) as adequate tools for visualization and analysis of convection heat transfer. The masslines, their equivalent to apply to convection ...

Abstract: A consistent theory is presented for generating arbitrary, finite‐amplitude, long waves at any location in a two‐dimensional, constant‐depth wave tank using a vertical paddle‐type wavemaker. The theory consists of solving ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented to combine the synthetic minority oversampling technique and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator to analyze survey data and identify business characteristics correlated with ...
