Abstract: Engineered surfaces (ground and similarly structured rough surfaces) show anisotropic characteristics and their topography parameters are direction dependent. Statistical characterization of these surfaces is still complex ...

Abstract: Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is one of the major problems observed in gear mechanisms, which leads to high friction, ultimately resulting in high energy consumption. This paper demonstrates the evolution of surface ...

Abstract: Data from a wind profiler located at Darwin, Australia, have been used to examine the vertical motions and precipitation microphysics in a well-developed squall line. Both a mature and developing convective cell are well ...

Abstract: Continuous vertical velocity measurements using a 50-MHz wind profiler located at Darwin in northern Australia during periods of active convection have been analyzed. This dataset is dominated by continental-type convection. ...

Abstract: Numerical studies were conducted on the hydrodynamics of a freely falling rigid sphere in bounded and unbounded water domains to investigate the drag coefficient, normalized velocity, pressure coefficient, and skin friction ...

Abstract: This paper presents a modeling approach for estimating time varying loads acting on a component from experimental strain measurements. The strain response of an elastic vibrating system is written as a linear superposition ...

Abstract: A technique is described that allows estimates of the raindrop size distribution to be obtained from the Doppler spectra measured by wind-profiling radars. The method makes no a priori assumptions regarding the shape of ...

Abstract: Recently, the authors observed significant echoes from precipitating ice particles above the freezing level in the stratiform region of tropical squall lines with a 50-MHz wind-profiling radar. A technique is described ...
