RISPlastic Instability of Cylindrical Shells With Rigid End Closures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solutions are obtained for the large plastic deformations of a cylindrical membrane with rigid end closures subjected to an internal pressure loading. A plastic linearly hardening material obeying ...
Atmospheric Tidal Motions over Australia below 20 Kilometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal and semidiurnal variations of the wind have been computed from 12 years of upper wind observations at Australian stations. The strong diurnal oscillation in the boundary layer over the continent is remarkably ...
Urban Regeneration Using Local Resources: Cost-Benefit Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geographic areas within many cities are ripe for rehabilitation throughout the nation, but revitalization must be preceded by substantial front-end public expenditures. Because these front-end expenditures, more and more, ...
A Wavenumber-Frequency Analysis of Large-Scale Tropospheric Motions in the Extratropical Northern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The geopotential height and temperature at 500 and 300 mb at various northern latitudes are analysed in wavenumber-frequency space, for a summer and a winter season. The power spectra at individual wave-numbers are flattish ...
Improving the Performance of Floating Solar Pool Covers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental and analytical analyses are presented for the evaluation of heat transfer through floating solar swimming pool covers. Two improved floating solar swimming pool cover designs are ...
Introduction to Plasma Physics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Scheduling with Computer-Interpretable Construction Method Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current scheduling tools require the manual translation of design information to activities and typically do not provide dynamic links between cost estimates and corresponding schedules. To take advantage of the increasingly ...
Valuing Flexibility in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Information Technology Investments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When investing in information technology (IT) applications, construction managers implicitly account for the value of adding future applications to the original investment as the business and technical environment changes. ...
Distribution of Single-Banded Snowfall in Central U.S. Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: climatology of single-banded snowfall in the central United States and the variability of processes at work in its formation are presented. Ninety-eight snowbands are identified in association with 66 cyclones over 5 yr ...
Importance of Capacity Constraints to Construction Cost and Schedule
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper makes a practice-based critique of the assumptions behind network planning methods from the perspective of subcontractors and suppliers. In the context of a case example, the time-cost trade-off and its ...
