Abstract: A 30-level version of the rhomboidal-15 GFDL spectral climate model was constructed with roughly 2-km vertical resolution. In common with other comprehensive general circulation models, this model fails to produce a realistic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a set of simple formulations is derived to predict the instability critical loads of orthotropic composite tubes under pure bending. The formulations are based on the assumption that the instability of an ...

Abstract: We present a stability analysis of the environment due to a large-amplitude inertio?gravity wave. Our purpose is to examine the conditions under which the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability may be an effective wave saturation ...

Abstract: Linear theory is used to examine the influence of a mean shear on the dynamical instability of a large-amplitude inertio-gravity wave (IGW). The strength and orientation of the mean shear and the frequency of the IGW are ...

Abstract: Observations of the motion field near the summer mesopause using the Poker Flat MST radar in a symmetric six-beam configuration during 8 days of July 1986 were used to examine the mean structure, the wave variances, and ...

Abstract: The adaptive finite element method (FEM) was developed in the early 1980s. The basic concept of adaptivity developed in the FEM is that, when a physical problem is analyzed using finite ...

Abstract: This study primarily aims to investigate the influence of concrete interface properties on the anisotropic behavior of three-dimensional (3D) printed concrete (3DPC). A numerical model employing the traction-separation law ...

Abstract: It is well known that concrete will fail in the form of cracking or crushing for the uniaxial tension or compression. However, it would be difficult to classify and define precisely the failure form for the multiaxial ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical study of the transverse vibration of sandwich beams considering the thermal-induced nonuniform cross-sectional properties. Free vibration frequency formulas of sandwich beams, under linearly ...
