Abstract: This paper quantified the seismic resilience (SR) of different bridge classes by performing three-dimensional advanced numerical simulations in Opensees. SR was calculated by performing the seismic resilience for recovery ...

Abstract: Even though five different general circulation models are all currently producing about a 4° ± 1°C warming for doubled CO2, there is still substantial model disagreement about the degree of high latitude amplification of ...

Abstract: To investigate the effectiveness of a universal wake number for groups of closely spaced bluff bodes, staggered cylinder configurations with center-to-center pitch ratios of P/D=1.125 and 1.25, ...

Abstract: A series of experiments was performed to study forced convection from rectangular arrays of electronic components. Effects of channel height, planar spacing, component row number, and approach ...

Abstract: With an aperture area in excess of 400 m2 , and a focal length close to 13 m, PETAL (Photon Energy Transformation & Astrophysics Laboratory) is probably the world’s largest solar-tracking ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of multiple nozzle submerged jet array impingement single-phase and boiling heat transfer were made using FC-72 and 1 cm square copper pin fin arrays, having equal width ...
