Abstract: The hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete structures depends in large measure on the transfer mechanism between reinforcing steel and concrete through bond and the resulting slip. This paper presents a finite-element ...

Abstract: Sea Level variations of the Indian Ocean north of 20°S are analyzed from Geosat satellite altimeter data over April 1985?September 1989. These variations are compared and interpreted with numerical simulations derived from ...

Abstract: This paper examines the results of assimilating Geosat sea level variations relative to the November 1986?November 1988 mean reference, in a nonlinear reduced-gravity model of the Indian Ocean. Data have been assimilated ...

Abstract: ell-established satellite-derived Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extents are combined to create the global picture of sea ice extents and their changes over the 35-yr period 1979?2013. Results yield a global annual sea ice ...

Abstract: The Zebiak and Cane model is used in its ?uncoupled mode,? meaning that the oceanic model component is driven by the Florida State University (FSU) wind stress anomalies over 1980?93 to simulate sea surface temperature ...

Abstract: An upper bound to the mechanical power loss in wire ropes bent over a sheave is determined by considering the geometry of a deformed helical wire and using results from the linear theory of wire rope. Results are presented ...

Abstract: The Hadley Centre coupled model is used to investigate the relationship between the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), Labrador Sea deep convection, and sea surface temperature variability. It is shown that the model is ...

Abstract: A linear theory for wire rope that considers individual wire geometry and equilibrium is extended to include the effect of contact deformations between wire layers. Contact compliance between wire layers is determined using ...
