Abstract: Computer experiments were performed on simulated polycrystalline material samples that possess locally anisotropic microstructures to investigate stress intensity factor (K) variations and anisotropy ...

Abstract: Computer experiments were performed to investigate behavior of mesoscopic stress responses in a simulated polycrystalline material sample containing a fairly large number of constituent grains for ...

Abstract: Lagrangian linear advection scheme, which is called the trajectory-tracking scheme, is proposed in this paper. The continuous tracer field has been discretized as finite tracer parcels that are points moving with the ...

Abstract: previous Lagrangian linear advection scheme (trajectory-tracking scheme) is modified to achieve local mass conservation in this paper, which is more favorable to climate modeling. The discretized tracer parcels are volumes ...

Abstract: A brief review of linear waves and dynamic behavior of both periodic and near-periodic structures is presented in this paper. Emphasis is placed on a summary of more recent studies of engineering ...

Abstract: The opposition between two block-onset forcing mechanisms, previously identified in midtropospheric analyses over the Southern Hemisphere midlatitudes, is analytically interpreted with an idealized model. These mechanisms ...

Abstract: generalized frictionless, adiabatic geostrophic zonal wind tendency equation is derived to diagnose the nonquasigeostrophic forcings to blocking onset in the Southern Hemisphere through case study and composite analysis. ...

Abstract: The relative importance of interactions between deformation and potential vorticity (PV) as a block-onset mechanism is examined in 30 cases of atmospheric blocking over the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The blocking cases are ...

Abstract: Conjugate laminar natural convection heat transfer and air flow with radiation of tube solar receiver with glass window were numerically investigated. The discrete ordinate method was used to solve the radiative transfer ...
