Satellite Observations of the Influence of Bottom Topography on the Seaward Deflection of the Gulf Stream off Charleston, South Carolina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution thermal infrared data from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites are studied for the Gulf Stream between Florida and Cape Hatteras from the fall of 1974 to the spring of 1977. The sea surface temperature ...
Satellite Observations of Mesoscale Eddy Dynamics in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Active mesoscale (300 km diameter) eddy formation off the Pacific coast of Central America was observed during February 1976 by a thermal infrared sensor aboard the NOAA 4 satellite. These anticyclonic eddies, closely ...
Light Activated Shape Memory Polymer Characterization—Part II
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Presented are the experimental results of two light activated shape memory polymer (LASMP) formulations. The optical stimulus used to activate the materials is detailed including a mapping of ...
Light Activated Shape Memory Polymer Characterization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Since their development, shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been of increasing interest in active materials and structures design. In particular, there has been a growing interest in SMPs for ...
Reliability-Based Approach to Linear Covariance Control Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An extension to classical covariance control methods introduced by Skelton and coworkers, is proposed specifically for application to the control of civil engineering structures subjected to random dynamic excitations. The ...
Mauna Kea, Hawaii, as an Analog Site for Future Planetary Resource Exploration: Results from the 2010 ILSO-ISRU Field-Testing Campaign
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The major advances in knowledge of extraterrestrial bodies come from in situ measurements on robotized measuring devices deployed by international space missions, for example, on the Moon and Mars. It is essential to test ...
