RISClimate Change and Hurricane-Like Extratropical Cyclones: Projections for North Atlantic Polar Lows and Medicanes Based on CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA novel statistical?deterministic method is applied to generate thousands of synthetic tracks of North Atlantic (NA) polar lows and Mediterranean hurricanes (?medicanes?); these synthetic storms are compatible with ...
Relationship between the Representative Volume Element and Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The size of an asphalt concrete test specimen has been traditionally determined based on experience and practical purposes. This study discusses theoretical considerations for selecting the minimum dimensions so that the ...
Discussion of “Video-Capture-Based Approach to Extract Multiple Vehicular Trajectory Data for Traffic Modeling” by Heng Wei, Chuen Feng, Eric Meyer, and Joe Lee

Aerothermal Effect of Cavity Welding Beads on a Transonic Squealer Tip
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High-pressure turbine blade tips are critical for gas turbine performance and are sensitive to small geometric variations. For this reason, it is increasingly important for experiments and simulations to consider real ...
Processing Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties in Experimental Data From Sparse Replicate Tests of Stochastic Systems for Real-Space Model Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a practical methodology for propagating and processing uncertainties associated with random measurement and estimation errors (that vary from test-to-test) and systematic measurement and estimation ...
Thermal Modeling of Solar Central Receiver Cavities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results are presented from a numerical model of the steady-state energy transfer in molten-salt-in-tube solar cavity receivers that includes convective energy transfer at a local (spatially resolved) ...
Comparative System Performance Analysis of Direct Steam Generation Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power Plants in Megawatt Range
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work proposes and analyses several integration schemes specially conceived for direct steam generation (DSG) in megawatt (MW) range central receiver solar thermal power plants. It is focused on the optical performance ...
Subsea Electrical Submersible Pump Significance in Petroleum Offshore Production
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of pumping methods in offshore applications has become common especially in viscous oil production. This follow from the fact they present better efficiency and higher production rate than other lift methods when ...
Alternative Function to Represent Relaxation Modulus of Viscoelastic Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The generalized Maxwell model has been widely adopted for the prediction of relaxation modulus of viscoelastic materials, specifically asphalt materials. For practical reasons, relaxation modulus is rarely measured; instead ...
Structural Analysis Education through Model Experiments and Computer Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents two educational experiences as examples of innovation in teaching structural analysis courses. At the University Jaume I de Castellon, Spain, an innovative way was developed to encourage students in the ...
