RISWarm Stratopause in the Antarctic Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fact that the temperature near the stratopause in the polar night is remarkably higher in the Antarctic than in the Arctic is described. The reason why the stratopause can exist in the polar night and be warmer in the ...
Why do Fish Have a “Fish Like Geometry�
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most fish share a common geometry, a streamlined anterior body and a deep caudal fin, connected to each other at a tailbase neck, where the body almost shrinks to a point. This work attempts to explain the reason that fish ...
Approaches to Ecologically Benign System in Cement and Concrete Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The problems dealt with by the cement and concrete industry and the future direction of technical development such as recycling of wastes as raw material and fuel for cement manufacturing; development of Ecocement using ...
Intense Summer Heat in Tokyo and Its Suburban Areas Related with Variation in the Synoptic-Scale Pressure Field: A Statistical Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntense summer heat in Tokyo, Japan, and its suburban areas between 1990 and 2010 was statistically analyzed. Sample days were selected from among days with a sea breeze and sufficient sunshine duration, because sea breeze ...
Motion and Force Prediction of a Pushed Object by Maximum Dissipation Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When an object on a horizontal surface is pushed hard enough to overcome the friction between the object and the surface, the object moves. It was proved by interpreting Kuhn-Tucker’s optimality ...
Fatigue Design of Racks for Jack-Up Units
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The subject paper presents the methods and results of fatigue tests for both torch-cut and machined racks using 40.4 mm module and finite-element elastic stress analyses for these racks. Further, ...
Ultimate Strength Design of Racks for Jack-Up Units
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The subject of paper discusses an approach taken in evaluating the load acting on racks for jack-up units (the jack load) together with its computed results. The fracture test of a full-scale ...
Statistical Sensitivity Analysis of Lattice Space Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a statistical sensitivity analysis for shape distortions of space structures. The approach is based on a statistical shape‐distortion analysis on the structural errors and an adjoint method of sensitivity ...
A Slowly Varying Model of the Lower Stratospheric Zonal Wind Minimum Induced by Mesoscale Mountain Wave Breakdown
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model proposed recently by Tanaka and Yamanaka indicated that the breaking of mesoscale mountain waves produces enough drag to predict the weak mean-wind region in the lower stratosphere through every season, especially ...
