RISMonitoring Structural Performance of a Supertall Building during 14 Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field measurements of wind effects on a 42-meter-high supertall building in Hong Kong were analyzed during the passages of 14 tropical cyclone (TC) events, from 28 to 216, with a total recording time duration of 36 h. ...
Critical Impact Yaw for Long-Rod Penetrators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an improved model for the critical impact yaw (or simply the critical yaw) in long-rod penetration with considering the deceleration and rotation of the rod and the crater shape of the target. Two ...
Strain Growth in a Finite-Length Cylindrical Shell Under Internal Pressure Pulse
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Strain growth is a phenomenon observed in the elastic response of containment vessels subjected to internal blast loading. The local dynamic response of a containment vessel may become larger in a later stage than its ...
Depiction of the Variations of Great Plains Precipitation and Its Relationship with Tropical Central-Eastern Pacific SST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several advanced analysis tools are applied to depict the time?frequency characteristics of the variations of Great Plains (GP) precipitation and its relationship with tropical central-eastern Pacific Ocean sea surface ...
Prediction of Rail and Bridge Noise in Near- and Far-Field: A Combined 2.5-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bridge noise and rail noise induced by passing trains should be included while estimating low- and medium-frequency (20–1000 Hz) noise in railway viaducts. However, the prediction of bridge noise and rail noise using a ...
Experimental Evaluation of the M Integral in an Elastic Plastic Material Containing Multiple Defects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental technique for evaluation of the Mintegral in an elasticplastic material containing multiple defects is proposed by using digital image correlation (DIC). This technique makes direct use of the definition ...
Standardization of Offshore Surface Wind Speeds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ind measurement offers an essential data source for a wide range of practices in the fields of meteorology and wind engineering. However, records of surface winds are usually influenced by terrain/topographic effects, and ...
Vortex-Induced Vibration Performance and Suppression Mechanism for a Long Suspension Bridge with Wide Twin-Box Girder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) behavior of a twin-box girder bridge by means of aerodynamic sectional wind tunnel test and particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements. The effect of grid plates ...
SURF: Understanding and Predicting Urban Convection and Haze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUrbanization modifies atmospheric energy and moisture balances, forming distinct features [e.g., urban heat islands (UHIs) and enhanced or decreased precipitation]. These produce significant challenges to science ...
Towards an integrated set of surface meteorological observations for climate science and applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations are the foundation for understanding the climate system. Yet, currently available land meteorological data are highly fractured into various global, regional and national holdings for different variables and ...
