Abstract: A procedure based on the theory of generalized functions is applied to the calculation of impulse response (Green's) functions of a structural network with rigid body motion. The system considered may be viewed as ...

Abstract: The motion of oscillators governed by the standard equations for the aerodynamic galloping of square prisms is studied for two cases: a harmonically forced, single elastically mounted bar immersed in a uniform flow, and ...

Abstract: Records are presented of typical measured motions of a modified forced Stoker column, including periodic motion around a stable fixed point of the unforced column; periodic snap‐through motion around the unstable fixed ...

Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to establish a relationship between airport capacity and economic development in the Chicago metropolitan area. Formulating a quantitative link between infrastructure and development has ...

Abstract: eleconnections from tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies to the high-latitude Southern Hemisphere (SH) are examined using observations and reanalysis. Analysis of tropical Pacific SST anomalies is ...

Abstract: Silicon is the primary semiconductor material used to fabricate microchips, and the quality of microchips depends directly upon the quality of the starting silicon wafers. One of the manufacturing ...

Abstract: he observed relationships between anomalous Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) and the leading patterns of Southern Hemisphere (SH) large-scale climate variability are examined as a function of season over 1980?2008. ...

Abstract: he austral spring relationships between sea surface temperature (SST) trends and the Southern Hemisphere (SH) extratropical atmospheric circulation are investigated using an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM). A ...

Abstract: One possible method of incorporating model sensitivities into ensemble forecasting systems is to combine ensembles run from two or more models. Furthermore, the use of more than one analysis, to which perturbations are ...

Abstract: The winter climate of the British Isles is characterized by considerable interannual variability, which, because of the general climate sensitivity of a number of health outcomes, places at times considerable pressure on ...
