Abstract: This study developed a discrete topology optimization procedure for the simultaneous design of ply orientation and thickness for carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)-laminated structures. A gradient-based discrete material ...

Abstract: aiwan is located at the western stretch of the North Pacific high pressure (NP high) ridge in boreal summer, and its climate is highly sensitive to the NP high. By grouping years of anomalously high and low summer precipitation ...

Abstract: hange in extreme events in climate projections is a major concern. If the frequency of dry events is expected to increase in a warmer climate (thus, the overall number of wet days will decrease), heavy and extreme precipitation ...
