Abstract: This is primarily a statistical study based on linear correlation analysis. The mean monthly surface thermal field over India based on a fairly well-distributed network of 119 stations has been examined for March-May during ...

Abstract: An important consideration in the design of air cushion and magnetic suspensions is the power required to suspend or levitate the vehicle in equilibrium. Since this power level increases with ...

Abstract: The antiplane strain problem of the scattering of an incident Love wave by the edge of a thin surface layer is solved. The effect of the layer is represented by a boundary condition applied ...

Abstract: Creep tests on two heats of a CrMoV steel at 811K (1000°F) are analyzed using a new graphical procedure to solve the equation σ = C (t ) H (ε). This enables prediction of both constant ...

Abstract: This paper describes an identification method for determining the transfer function of a system by the use of a computer program. Frequency response data is obtained by the use of a Digital ...

Abstract: A procedure for estimating damage to window glass under fluctuating wind load conditions is illustrated. Applications of the procedure to damage estimation for panels of integer aspect ratio in the range 1 < ar < 4 are ...

Abstract: This paper studies the attitude estimation of a flexible spacecraft using the noise-corrupted measurements provided by sensors. The flexibility of the system is expressed in terms of internal ...
