Abstract: This paper outlines the principles of a technique which might, under certain circumstances, be an alternative to conventional SONAR systems. The technique, known as auto by cross-correlation using ...

Abstract: To investigate the reasons for the wide variation in previous estimates of transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake Passage, an analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of currents at 2700 ...

Abstract: Estimates of horizontal derivatives of velocity made by differencing velocity measurements are used to show that the observed velocity field due to low-frequency mesoscale motions during the preliminary Mid-Ocean Dynamics ...

Abstract: The unprecedented increasing cost of steel coupled with the superior mechanical and anticorrosion properties of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) creates a huge opportunity for FRP pipes to take the market share of steel and ...

Abstract: The density distribution in the abyssal Atlantic Ocean suggests that mixing associated with overflows across deep sills may account for substantial amounts of deep mixing. Estimates of the strait mixing are made from ...

Abstract: To investigate the processes that maintain the large-scale, annual-average thermal structure of the equatorial Pacific, the three-dimensional ocean circulation for a large area is determined from a diagnostic model applied ...

Abstract: Tapered piles are used in place of cylindrical piles for their improved geotechnical performance. When tapered piles are subjected to axial dynamic loading, as is the case with machine foundations, an appropriate theoretical ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates a state-space methodology of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control strategy using a 2 × 2 tightly coupled scenario applied to a physical gas turbine fuel cell hybrid power system. A centralized ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations reported in the literature have shown that pile foundations exhibit nonlinear behavior when subject to dynamic axial service loads. The nonlinear characteristics are attributed to soil remolding, ...
