Abstract: Some examples of National Severe Storms Project observations are described, showing certain typical structures of the mesoscale environment and of large thunderstorms in the Oklahoma-Texas-Kansas region. The ?dry-line? at ...

Abstract: A powerful new method for residual stress measurement is presented. A part is cut in two, and the contour, or profile, of the resulting new surface is measured to determine the displacements ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam under moving loads is studied by mode superposition. The inertial effects of the moving load are included in the analysis. The time-dependent ...

Abstract: Based on a dynamic fracture mechanics analysis, the stress field in a continuous film (called a web) during slitting (or cutting) is investigated. For a homogeneous, isotropic and linearly ...

Abstract: Many important technological and natural processes involving flow through porous media are characterized by large filtration velocity. It is important to know when the transition from the linear ...

Abstract: A number of simple objective methods of computing the motion of troughs and ridges at the 500-mb level were tested for a fifty-day period, with use of data over and near North America. The most useful methods, which are ...

Abstract: A method is derived to detect and localize linear damage in a structure using the measured modal vibration parameters. This method is applicable when the vibration strain energy is stored in ...
