RISFinite Difference Solutions of Reissner's Plate Equations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite difference approach to the Reissner's theory of plate bending is presented. The theory for the numerical analysis of rectangular plates is presented. The results of an example of a plate with simply supported edges ...
Determining Effective Centroid Position in Biomechanical Testing: A Technique for Simplifying Whole Bone Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: Whole bone in vitro biomechanical compressive testing can be complicated by three factors: sample asymmetry, heterogeneous material properties, and unknown effective centroid location. ...
The Stability and Genesis of Rossby Vortices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The stability and genesis of the vortices associated with long solitary divergent Rossby waves-the Rossby vortices?are studied numerically using the single-layer (SL) model with Jovian parameters. Vortex behavior depends ...
Development and Testing of the MIT Acoustic Levitation Test Facilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two acoustic levitation test facilities have been developed for cloud physics experimentation. These facilities utilize acoustic standing wave energy to suspend both solid and liquid objects in a contact-free environment. ...
A Very High Resolution General Circulation Model Simulation of the Global Circulation in Austral Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper discusses a simulation obtained with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ?SKYHI? troposphere?stratosphere?mesosphere general circulation model run at very high horizontal resolution (?60-km grid spacing) ...
Middle Atmosphere Simulated with High Vertical and Horizontal Resolution Versions of a GCM: Improvements in the Cold Pole Bias and Generation of a QBO-like Oscillation in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale circulation in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ?SKYHI? troposphere?stratosphere?mesosphere finite-difference general circulation model is examined as a function of vertical and horizontal resolution. ...
An Analysis of the Effect of Topography on the Martian Hadley Cells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous work with Mars general circulation models (MGCMs) has shown that the north?south slope in Martian topography causes asymmetries in the Hadley cells at equinox and in the annual average. To quantitatively solve for ...
Spontaneous Stratospheric QBO-like Oscillations Simulated by the GFDL SKYHI General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical stratospheric mean flow behavior in a series of integrations with high vertical resolution versions of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) ?SKYHI? model is examined. At sufficiently high vertical ...
Local Dynamics of Baroclinic Waves in the Martian Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he paper investigates the processes that drive the spatiotemporal evolution of baroclinic transient waves in the Martian atmosphere by a simulation experiment with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Mars ...
Evolution and Development of Multiairport Systems: Worldwide Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the dynamics of evolution of multiairport systems worldwide that can help to guide their effective development in the future. Given the capacity constraints on existing major airports, ...
