RISA Simple Model of Gulf Stream Thermal Structure with Application to the Analysis of Moored Measurements in the Presence of Mooring Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current mean on long moorings placed in the Gulf Stream near 59°W during 1983?84 experienced time-varying vertical displacements of many hundreds of meters. As an aid to interpreting the resulting velocity and temperature ...
Continuous Vertical Track Deflection Measurements to Map Subgrade Condition along a Railway Line: Methodology and Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the methodology developed for the use of continuous vertical track deflection measurements from a moving loaded rail car to map the subgrade condition along a railway line. This analysis of deflection ...
Quantifying the Impact of Subgrade Stiffness on Track Quality and the Development of Geometry Defects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the quantification of the impact of subgrade stiffness on the prevalence of track geometry defects and degradation of track quality indices (TQIs). The data included in this study come from two high-traffic ...
Dynamic Response of a Pulse-Loaded Ring Immersed in an Acoustic Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Development, Testing, and Implementation of a Gas Turbine Starting Clutch With Manual Turning Feature for U.S. Navy Ships
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most gas turbine generators rely on an automatic-engaging, free-wheel clutch to connect a starting motor to accelerate the gas turbine generator from zero to some intermediate speed to enable ...
Quantifying the Effectiveness of Methods Used to Improve Railway Track Performance over Soft Subgrades: Methodology and Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for quantifying the effectiveness of different methods used to improve the railway track performance on soft subgrades. This methodology consists of quantifying the changes in track stiffness ...
The Climate of the United States since 1895: Spatial and Temporal Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series of temperature and precipitation weighted by area and grouped by season for each of the 48 contiguous United States were analyzed. Within an 83-year period of record (1895?1977) three subperiods or climatic ...
Structural–Architectural Integration of Double-Layer Space Structures in Tall Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses structural–architectural integration of vertical, double-layer space structures in tall buildings. It covers the integration of the structures with building facades, entrances, lobbies, and interior ...
Current Variability near the Southeast Newfoundland Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cooperative moored array experiment to measure currents and temperatures in the vicinity of the Southeast Newfoundland Ridge was carried out over a 14-manth period starting September 1979 and ending December 1980. ...
A Formulation for Estimating the Compression of Fibrous Peat Using Three Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High variability in the results of laboratory tests with peat poses difficulties in the application of the classic consolidation theory to the prediction of settlement in the field. This article presents a formulation ...
