Abstract: Numerical hurricane loss and impact prediction models have become widely used as tools to determine property damages. To yield loss estimates, models often combine building stock, economic data, and vulnerability functions ...

Abstract: Achieving extreme deformations without electrical breakdown has been a longstanding challenge in the dielectric elastomer community. In this paper, we present a novel approach for accessing giant in-plane stretches in ...

Abstract: This study investigates the vibration of and power harvested by typical electromagnetic and piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters when applied to vibrating host systems that rotate at constant speed. The governing ...

Abstract: he northern annular mode (NAM) influences wintertime climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere, and understanding the processes controlling its sign and amplitude is of critical importance. Mounting evidence supports ...

Abstract: s numerical models of complex atmospheric flows increase their quality and resolution, it becomes valuable to isolate and quantify the embedded resolved gravity waves. The authors propose a spatial filtering method combined ...

Abstract: This study investigates the modal property structure of high-speed planetary gears with gyroscopic effects. The vibration modes of these systems are complex-valued and speed-dependent. Equally-spaced ...

Abstract: Strain rate can significantly affect the strength of materials. The split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was initially utilized to study the effects of high-strain rate (

Abstract: A linear model for the bendingbendingtorsionalaxial vibration of a spinning cantilever beam with a rigid body attached at its free end is derived using Hamilton's principle. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the beam ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the effect of wake disturbance frequency on the secondary flow vortices in a two-dimensional linear cascade is presented. The flow Reynolds numbers, based on exit ...
