RISSpectral Polarimetric Radar Clutter Suppression to Enhance Atmospheric Echoes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The clutter present in the Doppler spectra of atmospheric targets can be removed by using polarimetry. The purpose is to suppress the Doppler velocity bins where spectral polarimetric parameters have atypical values. This ...
High-Resolution Raindrop Size Distribution Retrieval Based on the Doppler Spectrum in the Case of Slant Profiling Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oppler spectra from vertically profiling radars are usually considered to retrieve the raindrop size distribution (DSD). However, to exploit both fall velocity spectrum and polarimetric measurements, Doppler spectra acquired ...
Computation of Chemical Exergy Potential in an Industrial AC Electric ARC Furnace
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Chemical exergy is equal to the maximum amount of work obtainable when the substance is brought from the environmental state to the dead state by a process involving heat transfer and exchange ...
General Equation for the Design of Capillary Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Capillary tubes are used widely in small refrigeration systems. It is necessary to design the capillary tube, but there does not exist any analytical equation which allows the determination of ...
Performance of Beam-to-Column Connection of a Well-Detailed RC Moment Frame Building under Pseudodynamic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of RC frame members under earthquake loading may differ significantly from that of the frame. Even if the story drifts are not significant, a collapse mechanism may be observed because of extensive deformations ...
Discussion of “Comparison of Two Nonparametric Alternatives for Stochastic Generation of Monthly Rainfall” by R. Srikanthan, A. Sharma, and T. A. McMahon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Optimal Control of Earthquake Response Using Semiactive Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The responses of two, low-rise, 2-degree-of-freedom base isolated structures with different isolation periods to a set of near-field earthquake ground motions are investigated under passive linear and nonlinear viscous ...
Incipient Motion of Coarse Particles on a Slope by Regular or Irregular Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The initiation of motion of coarse particles in the region of wave breaking is studied. The nondimensional sediment and wave characteristics that are significant in this phenomenon are determined. Experiments are performed ...
Modeling and Analysis of Multilayered Elastic Beam Using Spectral Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multilayered elastic structures are widely used in engineering applications. In this paper, a spectral finite element model (SFEM) is developed to predict the dynamic behavior of a multilayered beam structure. First, a ...
Thin Film Gauges Using Carbon Nanotubes as Composite Layers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurement of transient temperature and heat flux has attained enormous importance with the recent advancement in technology. Certain situations demand transient measurements to be performed for extremely short durations ...
