RISDerivation of Torsion Formulas for Multiply Connected Thick-Walled Rectangular Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents an approximate theory leading to expressions relating torque, shear stress, and angle of twist for the torsion of multiply connected thick-walled rectangular hollow sections. ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diem et al. have responded with critical comments as to whether urbanization-enhanced precipitation is maximized in the south-southeast of Atlanta, Georgia, as was recently documented by Shepherd et al. The reply herein ...
A Review of Current Investigations of Urban-Induced Rainfall and Recommendations for the Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation is a key link in the global water cycle and a proxy for changing climate; therefore, proper assessment of the urban environment?s impact on precipitation (land use, aerosols, thermal properties) will be ...
Urban Influences on the Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Runoff and Precipitation during the 2009 Atlanta Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 2009 Atlanta flood was a historic event that resulted in catastrophic damage throughout the metropolitan area. The flood was the product of several hydrometeorological processes, including moist antecedent conditions, ...
An Investigation of Warm-Season Spatial Rainfall Variability in Oklahoma City: Possible Linkages to Urbanization and Prevailing Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study used 9 yr (1998?2006) of warm-season (June?September) mean daily cumulative rainfall data from both the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis and rain gauge stations ...
Do Inflatable Bounce Houses Pose Heat-Related Hazards to Children?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nflatable bounce houses provide a popular summer activity for children. Injuries such as sprains and fractures are widely acknowledged but there is less awareness about possible hazards from excessive heat exposure. This ...
Detection of Urban-Induced Rainfall Anomalies in a Major Coastal City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is increasing evidence that large coastal cities, like Houston, Texas, can influence weather through complex urban land use?weather?climate feedbacks. Recent work in the literature establishes the existence of enhanced ...
A Dynamic GIS–Multicriteria Technique for Siting the NASA–Clark Atlanta Urban Rain Gauge Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because Atlanta, Georgia, is a model of rapid transition from forest/agriculture land use to urbanization, NASA and other agencies have initiated programs to identify and understand how urban heat islands (UHIs) impact the ...
Health Monitoring of Variable Geometry Gas Turbines for the Canadian Navy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Canadian Department of National Defence has identified a need for improved Engine Health Monitoring procedures for the new Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF). The CPF propulsion system includes ...
