RISDynamics of a Superconducting Linear Slider
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a one degreeoffreedom (DOF) contactless linear slider based on superconducting magnetic levitation is experimentally analyzed. The device is intended for precision positioning of an ...
Medium-Range Forecasting for the Number of Daily Forest Fires
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In an earlier work, the authors introduced an objective forecast model for a 24-h prediction of the number of daily forest fires based on a 2-day lag autoregressive model. The meteorological inputs required for this model ...
An Extended Karhunen-Loève Decomposition for Modal Identification of Inhomogeneous Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An extension of the Karhunen-Loève decomposition (KLD) specifically aimed at the evaluation of the natural modes of n-dimensional structures (n=1,2,3) having nonhomogeneous density is presented. ...
Evaluating Gas Turbine Performance Using Machine Generated Data: Quantifying Degradation and Impacts of Compressor Washing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas turbine (GT) operators are often met with the challenge of utilizing and making meaning of the vast measurement data collected from machine sensors during operation. This can easily be about 576 أ— 106 data points ...

An Objective Forecasting Model for the Daily Outbreak of Forest Fires Based on Meteorological Considerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily fire risk (DFR) is a forecasting index defined on the basis of two meteorological parameters. Such parameters are associated with the local atmospheric column: dry stability e in 850?700-hPa layer and saturation ...
Meteorology and Forest Fires: Conditions for Ignition and Conditions for Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Following the theoretical model proposed in previous papers in which four types of days and their associated fire risk (daily fire risk, DFR) were defined for each size of fire, the authors conclude that the meteorological ...
A Comparison Between Round Turbulent Jets and Particle-Laden Jets in Crossflow by Using Time-Resolved Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Time-resolved stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (TR-ST-PIV) measurements were performed to compare the velocity and vorticity field, and the three-dimensional high intensity vorticity structures ...
Effect of Ice on the Generation of a Generalized Potential Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this work (using Hauf and Holler?s entropy temperature) a potential vorticity is defined that generalizes the moist potential vorticity. This ?generalized? potential vorticity is used to analyze the possible effect of ...
Relationship between Convective Precipitation and Cloud-to-Ground Lightning in the Iberian Peninsula
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning and convective precipitation over the Iberian Peninsula during the warm season was analyzed. The database covered the period between 1992 and 1994 and the precipitation ...
