RISFracture Initiation in Low Strength Steel Pressure Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tests to failure have been made on 5 ft dia × 1 in. thickness steel pressure vessels containing longitudinal slits through wall thickness representing natural defects. Steels of from 33,000 ...
Southeast Australia Autumn Rainfall Reduction: A Climate-Change-Induced Poleward Shift of Ocean–Atmosphere Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ince the 1950s annual rainfall over southeastern Australia (SEA) has decreased considerably with a maximum decline in the austral autumn season (March?May), particularly from 1980 onward. The understanding of SEA autumn ...
Trends in Southern Hemisphere Circulation in IPCC AR4 Models over 1950–99: Ozone Depletion versus Greenhouse Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) models on the Southern Hemisphere (SH) circulation are assessed over the period 1950?99, focusing on the seasonality of the ...
Assessment of Steels for Nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Some of the materials problems associated with the use of mild steels in large gas-cooled reactor pressure vessels are discussed. Tests to failure of 5-ft-dia 0.36 percent carbon-steel vessels ...
Rainfall Teleconnections with Indo-Pacific Variability in the WCRP CMIP3 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study assesses the ability of climate models to simulate rainfall teleconnections with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean dipole (IOD). An assessment is provided on 24 climate models ...
Sedimentation-Induced Errors in Bulk Microphysics Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The computation of hydrometeor sedimentation in one-moment, two-moment, and three-moment bulk microphysics parameterizations is examined in the context of a 1D model, with no other microphysical processes active. The ...
An Acceleration System for Water Drops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Linear accelerator systems are described which allow the production of series of homogeneously sized water drops of different diameter and at terminal velocity, with small oscillations, negligible charges, and in air of ...
Collision and Breakup of Water Drops at Terminal Velocity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The collision and subsequent breakup of water drops moving essentially vertically and at terminal velocity has been studied for five drop pairs: the diameters Ds of the large drops were 4.8, 3.6 and 3.0 mm; the diameters ...
Decision Support System to Evaluate and Compare Concession Options
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increased popularity of concession projects over the last three decades, there is a need for a decision support system (DSS) capable of evaluating and comparing several concession project investment (CPI) options ...
Interactions of ENSO, the IOD, and the SAM in CMIP3 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of individual global climate drivers using models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3(CMIP3) have been examined; however, the relationship among them has not been assessed. This is carried ...
