RISNonlinear Buckling of Composite Shells of Revolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By adopting the energy method, a method of calculating the stability of the rotational composite shell is presented that takes into account the influence of nonlinear prebuckling deformations and stresses on the buckling ...
How Do Friction and Pressure Torques Affect the Relative and Ω Angular Momenta of the Atmosphere?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The axial Ω and relative angular momenta, MΩ and Mr, depend on the meridional mass distribution and relative zonal velocity, respectively. According to the conventional formulation, the time rate of change of MΩ is determined ...
Toward Climate Prediction: Interannual Potential Predictability due to an Increase in CO2 Concentration as Diagnosed from an Ensemble of AO GCM Integrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Predictability studies of the second kind are often carried out to address the potential in predicting atmospheric variables based on knowledge of changes in sea surface temperature (SST). Here a predictability study of ...
On the Relationship between the Stratospheric Quasi-biennial Oscillation and the Tropospheric Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two quasi-periodic oscillations in the tropical atmosphere with similar oscillation period?the stratospheric quasi-biennial and the Southern oscillations?and the relationship between these two oscillations are examined ...
The Joint Modes of the Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean System Observed from 1967 to 1986
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two aspects of the principal oscillation pattern (POP) analysis are used to study the large-scale modes of the coupled atmosphere?ocean system. First, P0Ps can be considered as the normal modes of the system; one way of ...
Performance Life Cost-Based Maintenance Strategy Optimization for Reinforced Concrete Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a maintenance strategy optimization method for RC girder bridges by considering the performance indicators, service life and life cycle maintenance cost, as criteria. The condition and reliability indices ...
Signatures of Air–Sea Interactions in a Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various types of air?sea interactions are studied based on the general properties of cross-covariance function and the well-defined shapes of these functions obtained from conceptual models. The analysis is applied to sea ...
What Determines the Spectrum of a Climate Variable at Zero Frequency?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to understand the spectrum Γx(?) of a climate variable xt, the relation between Γx(?) and its forcing has to be considered. If the evolution of xt over (discretized) time is determined by ft, that is, ?x/?t ≡ (xt ...
Angular Momenta of the Antarctic and the Arctic Oscillations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The angular momentum anomalies associated with the Antarctic and Arctic Oscillations are examined in a coupled general circulation model. The size of the global-mean anomaly of the Ω angular momentum is unexpectedly larger ...
Alternative Mooring Systems for a Very Large Offshore Wind Turbine Supported by a Semisubmersible Floating Platform
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As offshore wind turbines supported on floating platforms extend to deep waters, the various effects involved in the dynamics, especially those resulting from the influence of moorings, become significant when predicting ...
