RISWarming of the North Pacific Ocean: Local Air–Sea Coupling and Remote Climatic Impacts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, global climatic response to the North Pacific oceanic warming is investigated in a series of coupled ocean?atmosphere modeling experiments. In the model, an idealized heating is imposed over the North Pacific ...
Reliability-Based Service Life Prediction of Corrosion-Affected Cast Iron Pipes Considering Multifailure Modes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cast iron pipes were widely used in water distribution networks before the 196s and the majority of them have become aged and deteriorated with corrosion, which has been identified as one of the most common mechanisms of ...
Impacts of Interhemispheric Asymmetric Thermal Forcing on Tropical Pacific Climate: Surface Air–Sea Coupling and Subduction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aleoclimate observations and modeling studies suggest that extratropical climate change affects the tropical Pacific. A global coupled general circulation model is used to investigate the equatorial Pacific response to ...
Reliability-Based Service Life Prediction of Corrosion-Affected Metal Pipes with Mixed Mode Fracture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a time-dependent reliability method for the assessment of corrosion-affected metal pipe failures. Two nonlinear limit state functions are proposed for brittle and ductile pipes with mixed mode fracture. ...
Efficient Solution for Calculation of Upcrossing Rate of Nonstationary Gaussian Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Almost all engineering systems are not only uncertain, but also time-variant. As such, it is most appropriate to use a time-dependent reliability method, e.g., first passage probability, in the prediction of their ...
Effect of Applied Stress on Corrosion and Mechanical Properties of Mild Steel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is little knowledge on the effect of stress on corrosion of mild steel and how the combination of stress and corrosion affects the mechanical properties of mild steel. This paper presents a comprehensive experiment ...
A Far-Reaching Footprint of the Tropical Pacific Meridional Mode on the Summer Rainfall over the Yellow River Loop Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ver thousands of years, the vicissitudes of the Yellow River and surrounding geographic environment form a unique river loop in northwestern China, namely, the Yellow River Loop Valley. Results from both observations and ...
Research on the Influence of Helical Strakes and Its Parameters on Dynamic Response of Platform of Floating Wind Turbine Based on Optimization Method of Orthogonal Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stability of platform is the most fundamental guarantee for the safe operation of floating wind turbine in complex marine environment. The helical strakes used on spar platform in the traditional oil industry are useful ...
Travel Demand Model for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games was held from August 8 to 24, 2008, which definitely drew attention from all walks of life at home and abroad. Beijing 2008 Olympic Games was a great event, and there were huge demands ...
Atmospheric Teleconnections of Tropical Atlantic Variability: Interhemispheric, Tropical–Extratropical, and Cross-Basin Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the atmospheric teleconnections of the tropical Atlantic SST variability are investigated in a series of coupled ocean?atmosphere modeling experiments. It is found that the tropical Atlantic climate not only ...
