Abstract: The effect of ice sheet topography on the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) during the Last Glacial Maximum is studied using CCSM3 in a hierarchy of model configurations. It is found that receding ice sheets result in a ...

Abstract: Gradual creep recovery manifests when a concrete specimen that has been subjected to a sustained stress is unloaded. Although creep and creep recovery are important properties of concrete, there is little research on the ...

Abstract: The phenomenon that the tire/road noise is amplified when propagating outward from the hornlike geometry enveloped by the tire belt and the ground surface is referred to as the horn effect. In the present paper, three ...

Abstract: In this study, weldability of ultrasonic welding of 4-mm-thick fiber carbon/nylon 66 composite in lap configuration was investigated. Ultrasonic welding tests were performed, and the weld appearance, microstructure, and ...

Abstract: A horizontal smooth copper tube and two enhanced tubes (a dimpled tube and a diamond-shaped tube) with a length of 2 m and an outer diameter of 9.52 mm were studied in a two-phase condensation experiment using R410A and ...
