Abstract: A distortional mode of buckling is described for cold‐formed lipped channel columns that have additional flanges attached to the flange stiffening lips. The purpose of the additional flanges, called “rear flanges,” is to ...

Abstract: A study was performed to compare the annual performance of 50 MWe Andasol-like trough plants that employ either a 2-tank or a thermocline-type molten-salt thermal storage system. trnsys software ...

Abstract: Mesurements of electron densities in the mesosphere at 43S (Christchurch, N. Z.) have shown that relatively constant values exist in summer, but large variations occur in winter. During the period 21?29 June 1963, isopleths ...

Abstract: Observationally motivated idealized initial-value problems of cyclogenesis are studied for quasigeostrophic dynamics. The goals of this investigation are to assess the contributions of normal-mode and nonmodal growth ...

Abstract: umerical experiments are performed to determine the mean state of an axisymmetric hurricane in statistical equilibrium. Most earlier studies used a damping scheme on the temperature field as a parameterization of radiative ...

Abstract: Climate change resulting from the enhanced greenhouse effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations is expected to bring about global and local changes in sea level. A global rise in sea level would result from thermal ...

Abstract: he variability and predictability of axisymmetric hurricanes are determined from a 500-day numerical simulation of a tropical cyclone in statistical equilibrium. By design, the solution is independent of the initial ...
