RISOptimum Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms for Path Generation Based on a Combined Discrete Fourier Descriptor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A twophase synthesis method is described, which is capable of solving quite challenging path generation problems. A combined discrete Fourier descriptor (FD) is proposed for shape optimization, and a geometricbased approach ...
Distribution and Mechanisms of Orographic Precipitation Associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a combination of Doppler radar observations and rain gauge data, this study documents detailed aspects of the orographic precipitation associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009). Rainfall distribution over underlying ...
Experimental Investigation of Turbulent Convective Heat Transfer and Pressure Loss of Alumina/Water and Zirconia/Water Nanoparticle Colloids (Nanofluids) in Horizontal Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The turbulent convective heat transfer behavior of alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticle dispersions in water is investigated experimentally in a flow loop with a horizontal tube test ...
Radar Observations of Intense Orographic Precipitation Associated with Typhoon Xangsane (2000)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With measurements from two ground-based Doppler radars located in northern Taiwan, this study documents the detailed aspects of intense orographic precipitation associated with Typhoon Xangsane (2000) as it moved northward ...
Severe Thunderstorm Internal Structure from Dual-Doppler Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual-Doppler radar data were analyzed for three different times during the life cycle of a severe thunderstorm. The thunderstorm developed a double vortex inside as a tornado was generated beneath the cloud.The organized ...
Dual-Doppler-Derived Profiles of the Southwesterly Flow Associated with Southwest and Ordinary Typhoons off the Southwestern Coast of Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study used ground-based dual-Doppler observations to explore an understanding of kinematic characteristics of the southwesterly flow associated with the southwest (SW) and ordinary (OR) typhoons immediately off the ...
Should a Vehicle Always Deviate to the Tire Blowout Side?—A New Tire Blowout Model With Toe Angle Effects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As a severe tire failure, tire blowout during driving can significantly threaten vehicle stability and road safety. Tire blowout models were developed in the literature to conclude that a vehicle always deviates to the ...
