Abstract: Monthly rainfall estimates inferred from the NASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite contain errors due to discrete temporal sampling and remote spaceborne rain retrievals. This paper develops a regional-scale ...

Abstract: Learning control is a very effective approach for tracking control in processes occurring repetitively over a fixed interval of time. In this paper a robust learning algorithm is proposed for ...

Abstract: Learning control is a very effective approach for tracking repetitive processes. In this paper, the stable-inversion based learning controller as presented in (Ghosh, J. and Paden, B., 1999, ...

Abstract: A detailed ice-phase bulk microphysical scheme has been developed for simulating the hydrometeor distributions of convective and stratiform precipitation in different large-scale environmental conditions. The proposed ...

Abstract: Metal forming through plastic deformation is one of the most efficient, robust, and economical manufacturing processes available to produce products for unique applications at various length scales. ...

Abstract: Slender monumental stairs are major architectural features in many high-end building structures. Architectural requirements for these are usually very aggressive, with long spans and slender stringers being the norm. The ...

Abstract: High-frequency steel and concrete floors are often used to support sensitive equipment to minimize vibration response to walking. Equipment vibration tolerance limits are sometimes expressed as waveform peak acceleration, ...

Abstract: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged in recent years to become a widely recognized mass timber product for large-scale wood construction projects. The advantage of large CLT buildings has been recognized by investors ...
