“Wouldn’t it Be Nice if”…!
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses the need for a Site-Specific Safety Plan. Included are reasons for maintaining control of your project through planning as well as forms and examples that illustrate how planning can help the contractor ...
Vertical Wind Shear Associated with Left-Moving Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical wind shear parameters are presented for 60 left-moving supercells across the United States, 53 of which produced severe hail (≥1.9 cm). Hodographs corresponding to environments of left-moving supercells have a ...
Comments on “Observational Analysis of the Predictability of Mesoscale Convective Systems”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Observations of Right-Moving Supercell Motion Forecast Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTwo shear-based supercell motion forecast methods are assessed to understand how each method performs under differing environmental conditions for observed right-moving supercells. Accordingly, a 573-case observational ...
Climate Model Simulation of Point Rainfall Frequency Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Atmospheric scientists are continuously improving the capability of climate models to predict accurately the frequency of heavy precipitation events in a changing climate. A brief review of recent studies related to the ...
Finite Element Study on the Optimization of an Orthotropic Composite Toroidal Shell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this research, an analysis technique is developed to model orthotropic composite toroids and optimize the fiber layup, accounting for the natural variation in thickness due to fiber stacking. ...
The M2 Tide in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The amplitude and phase of the M2 tide for the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas were derived from the vertically integrated equations of motion and continuity. The boundary conditions at the open boundaries were taken both from ...
Hybrid Expert System for Construction Planning and Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an integrated hybrid expert system for construction planning and scheduling. The system integrates through an expert system building tool (ESBT) a relational data base, knowledge base, and its control ...
Erratum: “Effect of Strain Gage Length When Determining Residual Stress by Slitting” [Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology, 2007, 129(1), pp. 143–150]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Corrections were made to Table 1 where the number of significant digits therein were increased to twelve, which is necessary to obtain accurate numerical results (tables available for download ...
Effect of Strain Gage Length When Determining Residual Stress by Slitting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of strain gage length on residual stress estimated by the slitting (or crack compliance) method. This effect is quantified for a range of gage length normalized ...
