Microwave Backscatter and Extinction by Soft Ice Spheres and Complex Snow Aggregates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coupled-dipole approximation (CDA) calculations of microwave extinction and radar backscatter are presented for nonhomogeneous (soft) ice spheres and for quasi-realistic aggregates of elementary ice crystal forms, including ...
The Modified Gamma Size Distribution Applied to Inhomogeneous and Nonspherical Particles: Key Relationships and Conversions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he four-parameter modified gamma distribution (MGD) is the most general mathematically convenient model for size distributions of particle types ranging from aerosols and cloud droplets or ice particles to liquid and frozen ...
Comparisons of Tribological Properties of Ti(C,N)/SiC in Water and Seawater
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ti(C,N)based cermets offer good high temperature strength, perfect chemical stability, excellent wear resistance, and relatively better machinability. In the present work, the tribological behaviors of Ti(C,N)/SiC sliding ...
Inverse Surfacelet Transform for Image Reconstruction With Constrained Conjugate Gradient Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Image reconstruction is the transformation process from a reducedorder representation to the original image pixel form. In materials characterization, it can be utilized as a method to retrieve material composition ...
A Multiscale Materials Modeling Method With Seamless Zooming Capability Based on Surfacelets1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In multiscale materials modeling, it is desirable that different levels of details can be specified in different regions of interest without the separation of scales so that the geometric and physical properties of materials ...
Analysis of Dynamic Response of Deck Pavement for Large-span Steel Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to unveil the mechanical response of steel deck pavement, transient dynamic responses of the orthotropic steel deck pavement of large-span steel bridge were analyzed and calculated with FEM. First, the static and ...
Atmospheric Cold Front–Induced Exchange Flows through a Microtidal Multi-Inlet Bay: Analysis Using Multiple Horizontal ADCPs and FVCOM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric cold fronts provide recurring forcing for circulations and long-term transport in estuaries with microtides. Multiple horizontal ADCPs were used to obtain time series data from three inlets in Barataria ...
Traffic Event Automatic Detection Based on OGS-DTW Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to improve the comprehensive performance of the automatic traffic incident detection, the dynamic background updating and the improved motion estimating algorithm were used to convert the dynamic image sequence ...
Review of Research on Bridge Design Based on the Cost Analysis of the Whole Life Cycle
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Water Lubrication of Ni/Al2O3 Composite Coatings Sliding With Si3N4
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by the excellent water lubrication properties of Al2O3, two methods are used to fabricate Ni/Al2O3 composite coatings for water lubrication. One is the conventional composite electroplating technique (one-step ...
