RISA Flexoelectric Double Curvature Nonlinear Shell Energy Harvester
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flexoelectricity possesses two gradientdependent electromechanical coupling effects: the direct flexoelectric effect and the converse flexoelectric effect. The former can be used for sensing and energy generation; the ...
A Simple Physically Based Phenomenological Model for the Strengthening/Softening Behavior of Nanotwinned Copper
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A robust phenomenological model based on a modified sizedependent Vocetype constitutive equation is proposed to describe the dependence of strength on twin thickness, for nanotwinned copper (ntCu) polycrystals, in agreement ...
An Evaluation of Block-Maximum-Based Estimation of Very Long Return Period Precipitation Extremes with a Large Ensemble Climate Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recurring devastation caused by extreme events underscores the need for reliable estimates of their intensity and frequency. Operational frequency and intensity estimates are very often obtained from generalized extreme ...
Probable Maximum Precipitation: Its Estimation and Uncertainty Quantification Using Bivariate Extreme Value Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractProbable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the key parameter used to estimate the probable maximum flood (PMF), both of which are important for dam safety and civil engineering purposes. The usual operational procedure ...
A New Microstructure-Sensitive Flow Stress Model for the High-Speed Machining of Titanium Alloy Ti–6Al–4V
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow stress in the high-speed machining of titanium alloys depends strongly on the microstructural state of the material which is defined by the composition of the material, its starting microstructure, and the ...
CHANGES OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OVER BEIJING—2008 Olympic Monitoring Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Before and during the 2008 Beijing Olympics from June to September, ground-based and satellite monitoring were carried out over Beijing and its vicinity (BIV) in a campaign to quantify the outcomes of various emission ...
A Simulated Climatology of Asian Dust Aerosol and Its Trans-Pacific Transport. Part II: Interannual Variability and Climate Connections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 44-yr climatology of spring Asian dust aerosol emission, column loading, deposition, trans-Pacific transport routes, and budgets during 1960?2003 was simulated with the Northern Aerosol Regional Climate Model (NARCM). ...
Heat Induced Evolution of Phase Transformations in Tetrahydrofuran Hydrate Bearing Sediment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat conduction and phase transformations are basic physicalchemical process and control the kinetics of dissociation, fluid flow and strata deformation during hydrate dissociation in sediments. This paper presents a ...
Decadal Covariability of the Northern Wintertime Land Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he decadal covariability of northern wintertime land surface temperature and 500-hPa geopotential anomalies is examined using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric Research and ...
Homogenization of Daily Temperatures over Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to homogenize daily maximum and minimum temperatures over Canada is presented. The procedure is based on previously defined monthly adjustments derived from step changes identified in annual Canadian temperature ...
