A Difference Method for Plane Problems in Magnetoelastodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The two-dimensional equations of magnetoelastodynamics are considered as a symmetric hyperbolic system of linear first-order partial-differential equations in three independent variables. The ...
On the Dynamic Response of an Infinite Rod to a Randomly Moving Torque
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of an infinitely long elastic rod subject to a moving concentrated twisting moment with position determined by the stationary process X(t) is analyzed. Information concerning the ...
A Numerical Solution of Three-Dimensional Problems in Dynamic Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The equations governing the dynamic deformation of an elastic solid are considered as a symmetric hyperbolic system of linear first-order partial-differential equations. The characteristic properties ...
Evaluation of Operational Effects of Joint Managed Lane Policies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a method to evaluate the operational effects of managed lane policies—vehicle eligibility, access control, pricing, and the number of managed lanes—that form a policy combination set. Two macroscopic ...
Diurnal Variation of Outgoing Longwave Radiation in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal harmonic in longwave emission in the tropical belt (30°N?30°S) is estimated from nine years of NOAA polar-orbiting satellite data. The results are compared successfully with Nimbus-7 ERB scanner data and with ...
Relationships Among Urban Freeway Accidents, Traffic Flow, Weather, and Lighting Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear and nonlinear multivariate statistical analyses are applied to determine how the types of accidents that occur on heavily used freeways in Southern California are related both to the flow of traffic and to weather ...
Examining the Quality of Synthetic Origin–Destination Trip Table Estimated by Path Flow Estimator
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Path flow estimator (PFE) is a one-stage network observer proposed in the transportation literature to estimate path flows and path travel times from traffic counts in a transportation network. The estimated path flows can ...
Structure and Properties of Synoptic-Scale Wave Disturbances in the Equatorial Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A compositing technique is used to obtain the average structure of 18 disturbances which traversed an area in the equatorial western Pacific during the wet season (July?September) of 1967. Principal emphasis is placed on ...
Modeling Network Traffic for Planning Applications in a Small Community
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure is developed to model network traffic for planning applications in small and/or medium-sized communities with limited planning resources. The proposed method is based on the theories and assumptions of conventional ...
Performance Evaluation of Adaptive Ramp-Metering Algorithms Using Microscopic Traffic Simulation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adaptive ramp metering has undergone significant theoretical developments in recent years. However, the applicability and potential effectiveness of such algorithms depend on a number of complex factors that are best ...
