Abstract: To describe the drained behaviors of cohesionless soil through a concise constitutive approach, a single-surface model is constructed on the concept of the bounding surface. Based on observations from tests, the maximum ...

Abstract: A regional atmospheric model (RegCM) developed at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) is used to investigate the effect of assumed fractional convective entrainment/detrainment rates in the Tiedtke mass flux ...

Abstract: Serpentine nozzles are supplied in stealth bombers and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to evidently suppress the infrared radiation signatures (IRSs) emitted by engine exhausts. It is commonly known that excessive geometric ...

Abstract: The grouting of a rock mass is frequently adopted in engineering to enhance the strength and integrity of jointed rock. Based on the principle of hydraulic fracturing, grouting slurry with high pressure is injected into ...

Abstract: In this paper, a boundary control with barrier term is proposed for a typical three-dimensional flexible riser system by integrating backstepping technique with barrier Lyapunov functions. The proposed boundary control ...

Abstract: This paper presents a Volterra series reduced-order model method to evaluate aerodynamic forces of aircraft engine blade designs, whose shape changes during design and are always excited by upstream wakes. The method uses ...

Abstract: A four-day educational cruise navigated around the leeward side of Oahu and Kauai to observe the thermodynamic and dynamic features of the trade-wind wakes of these small islands by using weather balloons and other onboard ...
