Abstract: This paper presents experimental investigations of the flowfield characteristics downstream a ScaledUp MicroTangentialJet (SUMTJ) filmcooling scheme using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique over a flat plate. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a reliability-based methodology for calibration of the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) resistance reduction factor used in the design of FRP-confined RC columns designed based on current guidelines. The ...

Abstract: Objectively analyzed wind fields from summertime (January and February) cloud wind data are used to estimate the average values of the large-scale upper tropospheric vorticity budget components over tropical and subtropical ...

Abstract: Cloud winds obtained from SMS-I geostationary satellite images for the Southern Hemisphere summer-time are used to describe the tropospheric circulation over tropical and subtropical South America. These data provide good ...

Abstract: Drawing upon self-determination theory, this study discusses in depth the role of team members’ autonomy and knowledge sharing in construction projects. The main purpose of the study is to investigate the rarely discussed ...

Abstract: Fluidelastic instability (FEI) is well known to be a critical flow-induced vibration concern for the integrity of the tubes in nuclear steam generators. Traditionally, this has been assumed to occur in the direction ...

Abstract: Mixed vehicle traffic of driver-operated vehicles (DVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) on roadways in the future will result in four interaction types between these two vehicle types, impacting current intersection sight ...
