A Nonclassical Model for Circular Mindlin Plates Based on a Modified Couple Stress Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nonclassical model for circular Mindlin plates subjected to axisymmetric loading is developed using a modified couple stress theory. The equations of motion and boundary conditions are simultaneously obtained through a ...
Critical Velocities of Single-Layer and Two-Layer Composite Tubes of Transversely Isotropic Materials Based on a Potential Function Method in Three-Dimensional Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Critical velocities of a single-layer tube of a transversely isotropic material and a two-layer composite tube consisting of two perfectly bonded cylindrical layers of dissimilar transversely isotropic materials are ...
Solution of the Contact Problem of a Rigid Conical Frustum Indenting a Transversely Isotropic Elastic Half Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The contact problem of a rigid conical frustum indenting a transversely isotropic elastic halfspace is analytically solved using a displacement method and a stress method, respectively. The displacement method makes use ...
Possible Feedback Path for Low-Frequency Atmospheric Oscillations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equatorial low-frequency oscillations with periods of 1?2 months are being intensively studied by many investigators. A strong equatorial ?dipole? pattern is observed in which atmospheric variables such as temperate, wind, ...
Modeling and Analysis of the Variability of the Water Cycle in the Upper Rio Grande Basin at High Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimating the water budgets in a small-scale basin is a challenge, especially in the mountainous western United States, where the terrain is complex and observational data in the mountain areas are sparse. This manuscript ...
Model Performance of Downscaling 1999–2004 Hydrometeorological Fields to the Upper Rio Grande Basin Using Different Forcing Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study downscaled more than five years of data (1999?2004) for hydrometeorological fields over the upper Rio Grande basin (URGB) to a 4-km resolution using a regional model [fifth-generation Pennsylvania State ...
Modeling Intraseasonal Features of 2004 North American Monsoon Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the capabilities and limitations of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) in predicting the precipitation and circulation ...
Modeling of Advanced Combat Helmet Under Ballistic Impact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of combat helmets has greatly reduced penetrating injuries and saved lives of many soldiers. However, behind helmet blunt trauma (BHBT) has emerged as a serious injury type experienced by soldiers in battlefields. ...
Autofrettage and Shakedown Analyses of an Internally Pressurized Thick Walled Cylinder Based on Strain Gradient Plasticity Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two closedform solutions for an internally pressurized thickwalled cylinder of an elastic linearhardening material and of an elastic powerlaw hardening material are first obtained using a strain gradient plasticity theory, ...
