Abstract: Recently published experimental works on remotely bonded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) ultrasound (US) sensors show that they display some unique characteristics that are not observed with directly bonded FBG sensors. These ...

Abstract: Should an interface crack between the layers of the composite face-sheet or between the core and the composite face-sheet of a sandwich beam/plate exists, local buckling and possible subsequent growth of this interface ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to formulate consistent objective definitions of the concept of ?effective data density? applicable both in the context of satellite soundings more generally in objective data analysis. The definitions ...

Abstract: GOES high-resolution visible imagery is used to define the spatial resolution and scan geometry required for an advanced infrared sounder to fly on future polar-orbiting satellites. The definition is based on optimizing ...

Abstract: Evidence for the radiometric determination of air?water interface temperature gradients is presented. Inherent radiometric characteristics in the water molecule cause variations in the absorption coefficient that allow ...

Abstract: he Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) double-moment 6-class microphysics scheme (WDM6) implements a double-moment bulk microphysical parameterization of clouds and precipitation and is applicable in mesoscale and ...

Abstract: In this paper, the antislip stability assessment of a gravity retaining wall is analyzed by considering the spatial variability of soils based on the theory of random fields. The effects of spatial correlation lengths of ...

Abstract: ry conditions in 2013?16 in much of the western United States were responsible for severe drought and led to an exceptional fire season in the Pacific Northwest in 2015. Winter 2015/16 was forecasted to relieve drought in ...

Abstract: A high spectral resolution interferometer sounder (GHIS) has been designed for flight on future geostationary meteorological satellites. It incorporates the measurement principles of an aircraft prototype instrument, which ...

Abstract: While digital twin (DT) has made significant strides in recent years, much work remains to be done in the research community and in the industry to fully realize the benefits of DT. A group of 25 industry professionals, ...
