RISSome Recent Studies on Plastic Behavior of Plates Subjected to Large Impact Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reviews some recent studies on the plastic behavior of steel plates subjected to large impact loads. This is an important topic for risk assessments and safety evaluations because ...
On the Proper Use of Satellite-Derived Leaf Area Index in Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-observed leaf area index (LAI) is increasingly being used in climate modeling. In common land surface models, LAI is specified for the vegetated part only. In contrast, satellite LAI is defined for the total area ...
A Characteristic Based Constitutive Law for Dispersed Fibers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biological tissues are typically constituted of dispersed fibers. Modeling the constitutive laws of such tissues remains a challenge. Direct integration over all fibers is considered to be accurate but requires very expensive ...
An Intercomparison of TOPEX, NSCAT, and ECMWF Wind Speeds: Illustrating and Understanding Systematic Discrepancies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The availability of multiple satellite missions with wind measuring capacity has made it more desirable than ever before to integrate wind data from various sources in order to achieve an improved accuracy, resolution, and ...
A 10-Yr Climatology of Oceanic Water Vapor Derived from the TOPEX Microwave Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the newly available TOPEX Microwave Radiometer (TMR) data spanning 1993 through 2002, a 10-yr climatology of oceanic water vapor (OWV) is constructed, of which the distribution and variation at various spatial?temporal ...
Satellite-Observed Surface Temperature Changes after the 2004 Taylor Complex Fire in Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land-use and land-cover change has been recognized as a key component in global climate change. In the boreal forest ecosystem, fires often cause significant changes in vegetation structure and surface biophysical ...
Road versus Rail: Assessing the Implications of Transport Infrastructure for Spatial Growth Pattern in China’s Megaregions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The exacerbation of the concentration of population and economic activities in a few core metropolitan areas has become an urgent issue for China’s regional development, and necessitates a more polycentric spatial development ...
Modular Microhousing Design Plan Evaluation Model Based on Improved MIVES
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modular microhousing, due to its advantages of fast construction speed, convenient transportation, and environmental friendliness, has gradually become an important choice in modern tourist destinations and other temporary ...
Effects of Epoxy Resin System and Ingredient Content on the Properties of Asphalt and Its Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To clarify the effect of an epoxy resin (EP) system and ingredient content on the properties of epoxy asphalt (EA) and its mixtures (EAM), which is instructive for the selection of epoxy products and the promotion of its ...
Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation of Airfoil Stall Flows Using High Order Schemes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An advanced hybrid ReynoldsAveraged Navier–Stokes/large eddy simulation (RANS/LES) turbulence model delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) is conducted in thispaper to investigate the dynamic stall flows over 3D NACA0012 ...
