Abstract: Symmetric inertial instability (SII) is studied here as a mechanism for stratospheric and tropospheric phenomena in the equatorial regions. We investigate the linear and nonlinear dynamics of SII in a two-layer, zonally ...

Abstract: In order to study the mechanical properties of defectfree thin walled elbows (TWE), and evaluate impacts of the intermediate principal stress effect, tension/compression ratio, and strainhardening of materials into logical ...

Abstract: A new stabilized finite element formulation for solving radiative transfer equation is presented. It owns the salient feature of leastsquares finite element method (LSFEM), i.e., free of the tuning parameter that appears ...

Abstract: Molten salt reactor (MSR) has been recognized as one of the next-generation nuclear power systems. Most MSR concepts are the variants evolved from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL's) molten-salt breeder reactor ...

Abstract: Residual stress (RS) has significant impact on cutting process optimization. However, conventional process modeling approaches are limited to only single cutting pass on very short length and time scales due to the exceedingly ...
