Abstract: Statistical interpretation models of the Aire Limitée Adaptation Dynamique Développement International/Limited Area Modelling in Central Europe (ALADIN/LACE) numerical weather prediction (NWP) model outputs have been ...

Abstract: In this paper, the results of numerical studies on linear and nonlinear transverse vibrations and instability of a geometrically nonlinear column with an internal crack subjected to Euler’s load are presented. The investigated ...

Abstract: Determination of the feasibility of utilizing prefabricated, curved steel panels in the construction of tall cylindrical shells. A unique method of load testing curved panels was developed which allowed for the inclusion ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to determine soil stiffness properties using measured structural modes of bridges. Normally, the identified mode shapes have to be smoothed. The mode shapes are approximated using functions ...

Abstract: Self-drilling screws are the primary means of fastening cold-formed steel members in residential construction. Because the fabrication of connections is the most labor intensive aspect of the construction process, a better ...

Abstract: Beginning in 1975, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) adopted a strong International System of Units (SI) policy for its publications. AMS policy on SI units is explained in the Authors' Guide, published in 1983. ...

Abstract: Demand for off-chip bandwidth has continued to increase. It is projected by the Semiconductor Industry Association in their International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors that by the year ...

Abstract: The vertical profile of clear-sky radiative cooling places important constraints on the vertical structure of convection and associated clouds. Simple theory using the cooling-to-space approximation is presented to indicate ...
