Abstract: A brief case history of a mid-Pacific upper tropospheric low which developed into a surface system that rapidly attained tropical character is presented. Satellite and conventional data suggest that hurricane-force winds ...

Abstract: A deepening Low in Texas on November 24, 1952 is selected as a case for studying the more complete use of surface pressures and temperatures in upper-air analysis. To supplement the 2100 CST sea level pressure data, ...

Abstract: Closed-form solutions are developed for elastic deformation characteristics of multilayered strands under tensile and torsional loads. These analytical results are successfully applied to obtain ...

Abstract: This papers develops closed-form solutions for the extension of twisted wire ropes with fibrous cores which are subjected to axial forces as well as axial moments. The analytical results are ...

Abstract: A high pressure (4 × 106 N/m2 ), high-temperature (2400 K) turbine test facility is being constructed at the NASA Lewis Research Center for use in turbine cooling research. Several recently ...

Abstract: The variation in winds and resulting variations in wind loads on vertically launched vehicles for different worldwide geographical areas are investigated. Methods of determining possible alternate launch sites that offer ...

Abstract: Computational modeling of the behavior of concrete reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars requires models for the constitutive behavior of concrete and FRP and a model for their interaction, bond. This study ...
