Abstract: The water and heat balances of an arable field and a forest in the boreal zone in Scandinavia were explored using 3 yr of observations and simulations with two different soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) models ...

Abstract: Testing and simulation of aeroengine spectra with dwell times are reported in this paper. The modeling concept used is built on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and provides a historydependent evolution description ...

Abstract: The Northern Hemisphere has large areas that are forested and seasonally snow covered. Compared with open areas, forest canopies strongly influence interactions between the atmosphere and snow on the ground by sheltering ...

Abstract: In this paper, scatter in crack growth for dwell time loadings in combination with overloads has been investigated. Multiple tests were performed for surface cracks at 550 آ°C in the commonly used high temperature material ...

Abstract: In this paper, the possibility to use linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), with and without a superimposed residual stress field, to predict fatigue crack propagation in the gas turbine disk material Inconel 718 has ...
