An Extended Three-Dimensional Finite Strain Constitutive Model for Shape Memory Alloys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A 3D finite-strain constitutive model for shape memory alloys (SMAs) is proposed. The model can efficiently describe reversible phase transformation from austenite to self-accommodated and/or oriented martensite, (re)orientation ...
Constrained Variational Analysis of Sounding Data Based on Column-Integrated Budgets of Mass, Heat, Moisture, and Momentum: Approach and Application to ARM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the purpose of deriving grid-scale vertical velocity and advective tendencies from sounding measurements, an objective scheme is developed to process atmospheric soundings of winds, temperature, and water vapor mixing ...
Evaluation of Clouds and Their Radiative Effects Simulated by the NCAR Community Atmospheric Model Against Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud climatology and the cloud radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) simulated by the NCAR Community Atmospheric Model (CAM2) are compared with satellite observations of cloud amount from the International ...
Relationship between Cloud Radiative Forcing and Sea Surface Temperatures over the Entire Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite measurements from January 1985 to December 1989 show that warmer tropical oceans as a whole are associated with less longwave greenhouse effect of clouds and less cloud reflection of solar radiation to the space. ...
Coupling Analysis of Liquid Sloshing and Structural Vibration Using General Software
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a convenient modal analysis method for the linear coupled vibration of a container that is partially filled with a fluid is introduced. This problem is important for various reasons, such as stability analysis. ...
Variational Objective Analysis for Atmospheric Field Programs: A Model Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the variational objective analysis (VOA) for producing realistic diagnoses of atmospheric field program data. Simulations from the Naval Research Laboratory's ...
Sensitivity of a GCM Climate to Enhanced Shortwave Cloud Absorption
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent studies by Cess et al. and Ramanathan et al. find that clouds absorb significantly more shortwave radiation than currently modeled by general circulation models. Initial calculations for the global annual shortwave ...
Objective Analysis of ARM IOP Data: Method and Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Motivated by the need to obtain accurate objective analysis of field experimental data to force physical parameterizations in numerical models, this paper first reviews the existing objective analysis methods and interpolation ...
Effect of Molybdenum on the Wear Properties of (Ti,Mo)C-TiB2-Mo2B Particles Reinforced Fe-Based Laser Cladding Composite Coatings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: (Ti,Mo)C, TiB2, and Mo2B particles reinforced Fe-based composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding process. The effects of Molybdenum (Mo) on the microstructure and wear properties of the coatings were investigated. ...
Bias Correction of Historical and Future Simulations of Precipitation and Temperature for China from CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn this study, the equidistant cumulative distribution function (EDCDF) quantile-based mapping method was used to develop bias-corrected and downscaled monthly precipitation and temperature for China at 0.5° ? 0.5° ...
