RISA Joint Estimate of the Precipitation Climate Signal in Europe Using Eight Regional Models and Five Observational Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the precipitation climate signal in Europe emerging from a simulation of heterogeneous regional climate models (RCMs) using five observational datasets as the reference for present day ...
Finite Volume Model for Two-Dimensional Shallow Environmental Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development of a two-dimensional, depth integrated, unsteady, free-surface model based on the shallow water equations. The development was motivated by the desire of balancing computational efficiency ...
Graphical Relationship among Lamé Ellipsoid and Mohr’s Circles. A Graphical View of Mohr’s Circles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a relationship among the Lamé stress ellipsoid and the Culmann and Mohr circles for a tensor is introduced. This new view allows for a very simple graphical proof of the latter and gives them a sharper ...
On the Impulse Produced by Chordwise Flexible Pitching Foils in a Quiescent Fluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a parametric study showing the impulsive performance of foils with different flexural stiffness pitching in a quiescent fluid is presented. A wide range of Reynolds numbers (different imposed kinematics) and ...
Deliberate Salinization of Seawater for Desalination of Seawater
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The basis of a novel method for seawater desalination is outlined. In this work, pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) energy is obtained and used posteriorly for the reverse osmosis (RO) process for seawater desalination. ...
Changes in the European Precipitation Climatologies as Derived by an Ensemble of Regional Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper analyzes the changes in the precipitation climatologies of Europe for the periods 1960?90 and 2070?2100 using a heterogeneous set of regional climate models (RCMs). The authors used the Climatic Research Unit ...
Strain-Level Dependent Nonequilibrium Anisotropic Viscoelasticity: Application to the Abdominal Muscle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft connective tissues sustain large strains of viscoelastic nature. The rate-independent component is frequently modeled by means of anisotropic hyperelastic models. The rate-dependent component is usually modeled through ...
Structural Behavior of Barges in High-Energy Collisions against Bridge Piers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The collision of barges against bridge piers is an extreme loading condition that usually governs the design of bridges that span navigable waterways. The magnitude and time variation of impact forces depend on several ...

Determination of Impact Force History during Multicolumn Barge Flotilla Collisions against Bridge Piers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The collision of barge flotillas against bridge piers is a design scenario that often controls the design of bridges that span navigable waterways. Current design approaches vary significantly in their assumptions and ...
