Characteristics of the Mirror Image of Precipitation Observed by the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mirror image is a virtual image of precipitation from ?below? the ocean surface when an airborne or a spaceborne radar is used to view rainfall over the ocean. It is due to a reflection of energy from the sea surface to ...
Vertical Distribution of the Mirror Image Returns Observed by TRMM PR and Estimated for a 35-GHz Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical distribution of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR)-observed precipitation reflectivity and their mirror image (MI) reflectivity are outlined in this paper. The purpose of this ...
Highway Passenger Travel Demand Forecasting Incorporating Relationships among Travel Modes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Highway passenger travel demand forecasting provides an important basis for travel planning. Considering the relationships among travel modes (highway, railway, and aviation) is necessary to accurately predict travel demand. ...
Comparative Study on Thermal Performance of Ultrathin Miniature Loop Heat Pipes With Different Internal Wicks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Presented here are the results of an experimental investigation of two ultrathin miniature loop heat pipes (mLHPs) with different internal wicking structures: one with a primary wicking structure in the evaporator and a ...
Research on Deformation Mechanism of Cutting Nickel-Based Superalloy Inconel718 Based on Strain Gradient Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The traditional material constitutive model can effectively simulate the mechanical properties during the cutting process. However, the scale characteristics contained in materials are not considered in the traditional ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigation on Pull-Out Performance of Multihole Thin-Rib Perfobond Connectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Perfobond connectors are commonly used to transfer the shear force with the transverse bar sheared off as the failure mode in steel–concrete composite structures. However, the perfobond connectors used to prevent the ...
Human-Knowledge-Augmented Gaussian Process Regression for State-of-Health Prediction of Lithium-Ion Batteries With Charging Curves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in renewable energy storage and electric vehicles, and state-of-health (SoH) prediction is critical for battery safety and reliability. Following the standard SoH prediction ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigation on Pull-Out Performance of Multihole Thin-Rib Perfobond Connectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Perfobond connectors are commonly used to transfer the shear force with the transverse bar sheared off as the failure mode in steel–concrete composite structures. However, the perfobond connectors used to prevent the ...
Emergency Decision-Making System for the Large-Scale Infrastructure: A Case Study of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Large-scale infrastructure operates in a complex and uncertain environment. When an unexpected safety accident occurs, efficient emergency decision-making plays a crucial role in safe operation. Case-based reasoning (CBR) ...
Experimental Study on Film Cooling Effectiveness of Blade With Chevron-Shaped Holes Under Wake Influence
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas turbines have been widely used. With the continuous improvement of the performance of gas turbines, the turbine inlet temperature has greatly exceeded the heat-resistance limit of the turbine blade material, so advanced ...
