Abstract: A global ocean model (ORCA2) forced with 50 yr of NCEP?NCAR reanalysis winds and heat fluxes has been used to investigate the evolution and forcing of interannual dipolelike sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the ...

Abstract: The transmissibility across novel compound or two-stage mounting systems is discussed, and representative calculations of transmissibility are compared for systems with intermediate stages that ...

Abstract: I prove that in a steady velocity field the frequency spectrum of a conservative scalar is unaffected by flow distortion. This is a good approximation in turbulent flow if (qa1/3;/U1l1/3;) ? 1, where q and l are velocity ...

Abstract: By a method, related somewhat to a technique used in the theory of he multiple scattering of light, integral equations are derived for the mean and mean-square solution of systems undergoing ...

Abstract: The double pocket bearing design is discussed and compared to the plain three axial groove bearing. Rigid rotor stability, load capacity, and stiffness and damping curves are shown for the two ...

Abstract: The necessarily finite-size electrode used to represent a source flow in an analog solution is usually circular in shape. The resulting distortion of the true potential map introduces errors ...

Abstract: Particle shape affects the mechanical behavior of soils, including packing density, stiffness, volume change during shear, and strength. Laboratory experiments conducted to study the mechanical response of sand mixtures ...

Abstract: The problem of a semi-infinite work-hardening material with a finite length asymmetric edge crack subjected to uniform remote longitudinal shear is solved exactly by the use of hodograph ...
