Abstract: Sunshine duration is recorded in most countries by the Campbell-Stokes burning glass (CS) but in the United States by a thermometric type (US). CS and US instruments were exposed together and compared at Blue Hill Observatory. ...

Abstract: The elastic-plastic solution for an infinitely long cylindrical shell with an axisymmetric ring load is presented. Except for the material nonlinearity, the standard assumptions of small deflection ...

Abstract: To reduce the stress level at nozzle to spherical pressure vessel intersections, reinforcement is generally added to the sphere, the nozzle or both. This paper describes the development of a ...

Abstract: Exact solutions are presented for the problem of piezoelectric laminates in cylindrical bending under an applied surface traction or potential. An arbitrary number of elastic or piezoelectric ...

Abstract: A lower-bound limit analysis of loaded integral lugs on cylindrical shells is presented. Normal force and circumferential and longitudinal moment loadings on the lug are considered. The equilibrium ...

Abstract: ervices can help society manage climate-related risk and capitalize on favorable conditions by providing data analysis, data products, and scientific expertise. Meeting society's needs requires matching them with ongoing ...

Abstract: Plasticity in shells is often contained near the ends of a segment where the bending stresses are significant. Outside of this local neighborhood the behavior is elastic. Thus, an axisymmetric ...

Abstract: During the past four years the Gulf Stream has been subjected to investigation by sea-water thermographs on crossing ships. Details of temperature, including alternating masses of warmer and cooler water, diurnal ranges ...
