RISFilling N Sided Holes With Trimmed B Spline Surfaces Based on Energy Minimization Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using a trimmed rectangular BSpline surface to fill an nsided hole is a much desired operation in computer aided design (CAD), but few papers have addressed this issue. Based on an energyminimization or variational BSpline ...
Spatial and Temporal Variation of Summer Precipitation over the Eastern Tibetan Plateau and the North Atlantic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of summer precipitation over the eastern Tibetan Plateau (ETP) was examined in relation to the Northern Hemisphere macroscale circulation patterns during the period 1961?90. Summer precipitation ...
A Comparative Study on Precipitation Climatology and Interannual Variability in the Lower Midlatitude East Asia and Central Asia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines precipitation climatology and interannual variability in two regions in the lower midlatitude Asia to the east and west of the Tibetan Plateau, one located in monsoonal East Asia (the M region) and the ...
Symmetry and Asymmetry of the Asian and Australian Summer Monsoons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rainfalls associated with the Asian summer monsoon have significant correlation with succeeding Australian summer monsoon rainfalls. This is partly due to the typical life cycle of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation ...
Effect of Yunnan–Guizhou Topography at the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau on the Indian Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: opographic insulation is one of the primary origins for the influence of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on Asian climate. The Yunnan?Guizhou (YG) Plateau, at the southeastern margin of the TP, is known to block the northern ...
Stability Conditions and Stiffness Variability of General Tensegrity Systems With Kinematic Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tensegrity systems represent promising candidate mechanisms with in situ stiffness variability through changing the cables’ prestress levels. However, prestress-based stiffness behaviors of tensegrity systems with arbitrary ...
Intermodel Variability and Mechanism Attribution of Central and Southeastern U.S. Anomalous Cooling in the Twentieth Century as Simulated by CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ome parts of the United States, especially the southeastern and central portion, cooled by up to 2°C during the twentieth century, while the global mean temperature rose by 0.6°C (0.76°C from 1901 to 2006). Studies have ...
Site-Specific Extra-Heavy Truck Load Characteristics and Bridge Safety Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently, the occurrence frequency of extra-heavy trucks (EHTs, gross weight ≥8 t) in China has significantly arisen due to the increasing demand of heavy freight transportation. Load characteristics, such as traveling ...
Determining Aggregate Grain Size Using Discrete-Element Models of Sieve Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The grain size of aggregate particles is crucial to the mixture gradation of discrete-element (DE) models when realistic aggregate shapes are simulated. The objective of this study was to answer the question of how to ...
Influence of Nitric Oxides on Tunnel Demanded Ventilation Volume
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to study the influence of nitrogen oxides in tunnel environment on tunnel ventilation, according to the tunnel ventilation environment standards of different countries, taken Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge subsea ...
