RISEvaluation of the High-Resolution Model Forecasts over the Taiwan Area during GIMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 2001 Green Island Mesoscale Experiment (GIMEX), the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) was run at a horizontal resolution of 5 km twice a day and forced by initial and ...
Multi-Point Path Planning Algorithm for a Mobile Robot With Composite Moving Costs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multi-point path planning problem is a classic problem of the mobile robot. The present research is concerned with solving the shortest path. In some realistic applications, the shortest path length is not always the ...
Noncoaxiality between Fabric and Stress in Two-Dimensional Granular Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the evolution of the fabric for different contact networks (i.e., the strong, weak, and overall contact networks) in granular material. Two-dimensional tests along proportional strain paths and ...
Discussion of “Associated Generalized Plasticity Framework for Modeling Gravelly Soils Considering Particle Breakage” by Huabei Liu and Degao Zou

Experimental Evaluation and Stress–Fractional Modeling of the State-Dependent Behavior of Rockfill
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As one of the main filled materials of the Lianghekou (LHK) rockfill dam, the strength and deformation characteristics of LHK rockfill is of great interest for hydraulic and geotechnical engineers. Correct interpretation ...
Different Initial Condition Perturbation Methods for Convection-Permitting Ensemble Forecasting over South China during the Rainy Season

Bionic Flapping Mechanism of the Wings of a Cursorial Dinosaur Robot for Estimating Its Lift and Thrust
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We estimated the lift and thrust of the proto-wings of the dinosaur Caudipteryx, a close relative of birds, using both theoretical and experimental approaches. Our experiments utilized a newly reconstructed flapping wing ...
Strength and Deformation of Rockfill Material Based on Large-Scale Triaxial Compression Tests. I: Influences of Density and Pressure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of large-scale triaxial compression tests were conducted to investigate the strength and deformation behaviors of Tacheng rockfill material (TRM) in relation to the initial void ratio and initial confining pressure. ...
Strength and Deformation of Rockfill Material Based on Large-Scale Triaxial Compression Tests. II: Influence of Particle Breakage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The amount of particle breakage of Tacheng rockfill material (TRM) in the process of shearing was quantitatively measured by a relative breakage index. The fractal dimension of TRM at the final state of the tests was found ...
Synthesis of a Rear Wheel Suspension Mechanism With Pure Rectilinear Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the synthesis of an independent suspension that can guide the wheel to track a straight line when moving up (jounce) and down (rebound). With displacement subgroups, it ...
