Abstract: As the height of telescoping-boom aerial lifts increase, the severity of tip-over accidents obviously increases. To reduce the probability of tip-over accidents, manufacturers use countermeasures such as outriggers and ...

Abstract: Steady, two-dimensional, hydrostatic, nonlinear mountain waves are examined within the context of Long's model. Both uniform and periodic upstream flows are considered. The well-known condition for a hydrostatic wave to ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional, stratified shear flow over a ridge is considered. The finite-amplitude disturbances are steady and hydrostatic, and solutions are derived from the Boussinesq from the Long's equation. Two limiting solutions ...

Abstract: This research project used hot embossing to create a strong and tough polymeric based composite structure. A honeycomb type structure was created by pressing small grooves into thin polycarbonate ...

Abstract: by semigeostrophic model dynamics when the front has equilibrated. Similarities and differences between results obtained in primitive equation numerical model experiments, presented by both Williams and by Nakamura and Held, are discussed and analyzed. Nakamura...

Abstract: Momentum diffusion has been introduced into a semigeostrophic Eady-wave frontal model by Blumen (Part I). This model is used to determine the kinetic energy and enstrophy dissipations within a frontal zone that extends ...

Abstract: The momentum flux by small-amplitude gravity waves produced by steady-state flow over a three- dimensional circular mountain in an isothermal plane rotating atmosphere is investigated. There is an upward transfer of momentum ...

Abstract: Steady, two-dimensional, rotating and stably stratified flow over a ridge in an atmosphere capped by a rigid lid is known to exhibit a permanent downstream streamline deflection. The three-dimensional counterpart of this ...
