Abstract: An evaporimeter is described which yields evaporation data that are probably superior to evaporation data computed from micrometer hook gage readings. The evaporimeter also gives accurate hourly rates of evaporation and ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present Note is to show how the general axisymmetric photoelastic problem can be solved using only the integrated data. Indeed, the axisymmetric problem is reduced to a ...

Abstract: The performance of self-steering, articulated, and nonarticulated trucks for high-speed passenger trains was compared to a conventional passenger truck. Lateral stability and steady state curving ...

Abstract: The role of mesoscale orography along the central California coast in the development and evolution of a coastal jet and rainband is investigated using a high-resolution, triply nested, nonhydrostatic numerical model. ...

Abstract: An inactive gas piping system with minor leaks may require repressurizing if the system pressure cannot be allowed to fall to atmospheric pressure, for example, to maintain cleanliness. In this study, a simple hand calculation ...

Abstract: The impact of ocean surface waves on the structure and intensity of three tropical cyclones and a topographically forced bora event is investigated using a coupled atmosphere?ocean wave modeling system. The coupled system ...

Abstract: Further developments of an experimental methodology for analyzing the effect of structural joints on wave propagation are presented. Experimental results for an arbitrary T-joint are discussed as ...

Abstract: The research reported is the study of the transmission and reflection characteristics of flexural waves at structural discontinuities. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) computer algorithm is used ...
