Abstract: A homogenized elasto-plastic constitutive law (including both constitutive equations and inversed constitutive equations) is proposed in an incremental form for the particle-reinforced composites based on the flow theory ...

Abstract: A number of experimental studies have shown that sublimating ice acquires negative charge and ice undergoing vapor deposition acquires positive charge. Microphysical calculations are performed to determine the diffusional ...

Abstract: In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) assisted control system design methodology has been described in detail. The entire design and evaluation procedure has been illustrated through a feedback control system ...

Abstract: This paper illustrates how particle size affects the initial yield stress of particle-reinforced composites. A formulation in a closed form is presented to demonstrate the size effect of yielding of the composites. This ...

Abstract: The ability to use remotely sensed ocean color data to parameterize biogenic heating in a coupled ocean?atmosphere model is investigated. The model used is a hybrid coupled model recently developed at the Earth System ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes key diaphragm response parameters observed during the shake table testing of a three-story precast concrete structure built at half-scale. The test structure geometry possessed an aspect ratio in plan ...

Abstract: Aerosol- and moonsoon-related droughts and floods are two of the most serious environmental hazards confronting more than 60% of the population of the world living in the Asian monsoon countries. In recent years, thanks ...

Abstract: ecadal prediction experiments were conducted as part of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using the GFDL Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1) forecast system. The abrupt warming of the North Atlantic ...
