Abstract: A numerical model of a rapid response phase change heat exchange module has been developed and challenged with experimental data taken on a flow bench with multiple temperatures and flow rates for two different phase change ...

Abstract: Both nonlinear P-y curves and nondimensional methods for lateral load pile design require the evaluation, measurement, or calculation of a soil horizontal modulus value. Current researchers and foundation design engineers ...

Abstract: Conventional surveying operations in the vicinity of Boston's Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel Project are hampered by large buildings, severe traffic congestion, pedestrians, and access difficulties. However, the use ...

Abstract: A composite system consisting of rectangular glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubes connected to concrete slabs, using GFRP dowels has been developed. Seven beam specimens have been tested, including hollow and ...

Abstract: Data are used to demonstrate two effects apparent in ground surface temperature histories coming from inversions of borehole temperatures: apparent climatic warming and apparent climatic stability. Unrecognized local terrain ...

Abstract: Foster and Carmack (1976) and Middleton and Foster (1980) have observed a series of ?diffusive? double-diffusive interfaces in the deep, central Weddell Sea which are very close to the conditions under which cabbeling is ...

Abstract: The potential vorticity equation has been vertically differentiated and used with the thermal wind equation to obtain the following expression for the absolute horizontal Eulerian velocity vector, where where ?z is the ...

Abstract: Submesoscale coherent vortices (SCVs, ?meddies? or ?bullets?) are shown not to move along either potential density surfaces or neutral surfaces, due to the compressibility of sea water being a function of potential temperature ...
