RISRelation Between Microscopic and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties in Random Mixtures of Elastic Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A material composed of a mixture of distinct homogeneous media can be considered as a homogeneous one at a sufficiently large observation scale. In this work, the problem of the elastic mixture ...
On the Crucial Role of Basin Geometry in Double-Gyre Models of the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The decadal chaotic relaxation oscillation obtained in a recent double-gyre model study of the Kuroshio Extension intrinsic low-frequency variability was found to compare surprisingly well with the real variability of the ...
Seismic Damage Assessment of Steel Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic damage analysis of steel frames based on the use of global evaluation indices is addressed. A general procedure is proposed aimed at estimating the degree of damage induced by severe earthquakes in structures ...
Influence of Sediment Gradation on Scour Downstream of Block Ramps
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scour process downstream of block ramps is an important research topic of value to engineering practice. The object of the present experimental study is to examine the scour mechanism in order to predict the main ...
Coherence Resonance in a Double-Gyre Model of the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of stochastic winds on the intrinsic low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is analyzed through a double-gyre (DG) model forced by a steady climatological wind plus an idealized Ornstein?Uhlenbeck ...
Low-Frequency Variability, Coherence Resonance, and Phase Selection in a Low-Order Model of the Wind-Driven Ocean Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, a low-order spectral quasigeostrophic (QG) model of the wind-driven ocean circulation is derived and used to analyze the low-order character of the intrinsic low-frequency variability of the midlatitude ...
Ensemble Simulations and Pullback Attractors of a Periodically Forced Double-Gyre System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: primitive equation ocean model has recently reproduced with reasonable realism the synchronization between the North Pacific Oscillation and the last two Kuroshio Extension decadal cycles observed from altimetry. However, ...
Closure to “Flow Resistance of Rock Chutes with Protruding Boulders” by S. Pagliara and P. Chiavaccini

Kuroshio Extension Bimodality and the North Pacific Oscillation: A Case of Intrinsic Variability Paced by External Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: previous North Pacific Ocean circulation model forced by climatological winds is extended here to include a time-dependent North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) forcing. The Kuroshio Extension (KE) decadal bimodal cycle (which ...
Westward Intensified and Topographically Modified Planetary Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The process study presented in this note originates from the interest in investigating the existence of barotropic planetary Rossby modes in Mediterranean subbasins that have relatively small length scales and include ...
