Abstract: The revolving barrel gun is the principal component of the closein weapons system (CIWS) that provides important terminal defense against antiship cruise missiles that have penetrated fleet defenses. The muzzle flow field ...

Abstract: Buildings are often located in close proximity to each other in urban settings. Seismic structure-soil-structure interaction near two adjacent buildings (SSSI2) on liquefiable soils has previously been investigated and ...

Abstract: This study presents an optimal variable speed limit (VSL) strategy in a connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) environment for a freeway corridor with multiple bottlenecks. The VSL control was developed by using an extended ...

Abstract: new statistical?dynamical downscaling procedure is developed and then applied to high-resolution (regional) time series generation and wind resource assessment. The statistical module of the new procedure uses empirical ...

Abstract: he capability of the Canadian land surface external modeling system known as the Global Environmental Multiscale Surface (GEM-SURF) system with respect to surface wind predictions is evaluated. Based on the Interactions ...

Abstract: tmospheric intraseasonal variability in the tropical Atlantic is analyzed using satellite winds, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), and reanalysis products during 2000?08. The analyses focus on assessing the effects of ...

Abstract: Ground densification is a common countermeasure against soil liquefaction. The state-of-practice for designing ground densification is typically based on empirical estimates of liquefaction triggering and ground settlement ...

Abstract: Stiff in-ground structural or diaphragm walls have previously been used as a liquefaction countermeasure for existing building structures. The available design methodologies for typical mitigation techniques are based on ...

Abstract: cing is a weather phenomenon that is typical of cold climates. It impacts human activities through ice accretion on tower structures, transmission lines, and the blades of wind turbines. Icing on turbine blades, in particular, ...

Abstract: Scouring of bridge piers is a major cause of bridge failure worldwide. Thus, designing safe depths for new bridge foundations and assessing/monitoring the safety of existing bridge foundations are critical to reducing the ...
