Abstract: This paper aims to find a fast and efficient way to predict the wind-induced components of surface currents in a nearshore coastal area of several hundred square kilometers from wind velocities measured at nearby land ...

Abstract: In the conventional point tidal analysis approach, a set of tidal harmonic constituents is derived from each time series of currents. These sets of tidal constituents are then used to predict the tidal currents. For a large ...

Abstract: The structural assessment of existing masonry towers under exceptional loads, such as earthquake loads, requires reliable and expedite methods of analysis. These approaches should take into account both the specific nonlinear ...

Abstract: As the size of the college‐age shrinks, the number of engineering graduates also is dropping and the school‐age population consists increasingly of minority students. American engineering schools have come to rely heavily ...

Abstract: The Schmidt decomposition is applied to the evolution operator of the linearized barotropic equation on a sphere (in the following referred to as the barotropic propagator) to study the evolution of the variance, that is, ...

Abstract: The paper reports the results of a research aimed at analyzing and interpreting the cracking pattern on the

Abstract: The structural assessment of existing masonry towers under exceptional loads, such as earthquake loads, requires reliable and expedite methods of analysis. These approaches should take into account both the specific nonlinear ...

Abstract: Reliably assessing the condition and safety of suspension bridges poses the problem of determining the remaining strength of bridge cables in their present state. Corrosion of the steel wires, which together comprise the ...
