RISExperimental, Numerical, and Analytical Studies of Stress and Displacement in Full-Scale Beds of Activated Alumina Granular Material for Space Life-Support Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Granular beds made of activated alumina and magnesium oxide used for recycling/processing water in space life-support systems are usually compressed using a spring mechanism for effective functioning. The spring force is ...
Internal Tides in the Southwestern Japan/East Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the internal tidal energy distribution in the southwestern Japan/East Sea using vertical round-trip travel time (τ) data from 23 pressure-sensor-equipped inverted echo sounders (PIES). The τ records ...
Free-Edge Interlaminar Stress Analysis of Composite Laminates Using Interface Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interlaminar stresses near free edges in composite laminates were analyzed by considering interface modeling. Previous regular analytical solutions for free edge stress are not rigorous in their linear elastic modeling ...
Mechanical Behavior of Water Deionizing Granular Material Bed for Space Life Support Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the most critical components in the oxygen-generation and water-processing assemblies for human habitation in space is the deionizing (DI) bed—a packed bed of ion-exchange resin beads—that purifies water. The DI bed ...
De-Aliasing of Large-Scale High-Frequency Barotropic Signals from Satellite Altimetry in the Japan/East Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Japan/East Sea, energetic high-frequency large-scale barotropic motions are shown to lead to large aliasing errors in satellite altimetry observations. The combined aliasing from several neighboring and crossing ...
A Multi-Index GEM Technique and Its Application to the Southwestern Japan/East Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates a new gravest empirical mode (GEM) technique that constructs multi-index lookup tables of temperature (T) and specific volume anomalies (δ) using historical hydrocasts as a function of three indices: ...
Evidence of Bottom-Trapped Currents in the Kuroshio Extension Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s part of the Kuroshio Extension System Study, observations from five current meter moorings reveal that the abyssal currents are weakly bottom intensified. In the framework of linear quasigeostrophic flow, the best fitted ...
Sustainable Fabrication of Glass Nanostructures Using Infrared Transparent Mold Assisted by CO2 Laser Scanning Irradiation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Direct thermal imprinting of nanostructures on glass substrates is reliable when manufacturing net-shaped glass devices with various surface functions. However, several problems are recognized, including a long thermal ...
Visualization of Dropwise Condensation on a Superhydrophobic Microporous Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Condensation behavior on a superhydrophobic microporous surface was visually compared with that on a plain surface in the water saturated at the pressures of 101.3 kPa (Tsat = 100 °C) and 3.2 kPa (Tsat = 25 °C). The ...
On the predictability of sea surface height around Palau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the Flow Encountering Abrupt Topography (FLEAT) program, an array of pressure-sensor equipped inverted echo sounders (PIESs) was deployed north of Palau where the westward-flowing North Equatorial Current ...
