RISDistinguishing Impacts on Winter Temperatures in Northern Mid–High-Latitude Continents during Multiyear and Single-Year La Niña Events: A Modeling Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
One-Dimensional Constrained Blister Test to Measure Thin Film Adhesion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A rectangular film is clamped at the opposite ends before being inflated into a blister by an external pressure, p. The bulging film adheres to a constraining plate with distance, w0, above. Increasing pressure expands the ...
Equilibrium Beach Profile with Net Cross-Shore Sand Transport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Periodic beach-fill placement and frequent overwash result in net offshore and onshore sand transport, respectively. Three tests consisting of fifty 4-s runs were conducted in a small-scale wave flume to examine the effect ...
Revisiting the Constrained Blister Test to Measure Thin Film Adhesion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A thin film is clamped at the periphery to form a circular freestanding diaphragm before a uniform pressure, p, is applied to inflate it into a blister. The bulging membrane adheres to a rigid constraining plate with height, ...
Parametric Study and Optimization of a New Type of Solar Air Collector Employing Flat Micro Heat Pipe Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance improvement of flat-plate solar air collectors (FPSACs) is vital for solar energy utilization. Accordingly, flat micro heat pipe arrays (FMHPAs) have been utilized in FPSACs given their excellent thermal ...
