Abstract: In this paper, we generalize the idea of the free-body diagram for analytical mechanics for representations of mechanical systems in configuration space. The configuration space is characterized ...

Abstract: In this part of the work we present some applications of the formulation developed in Part I (, 2008, “ Dynamics of Mechanical Systems and the Generalized Free-Body Diagram—Part I: General ...

Abstract: The modified friction circle method is still an important tool in slope-stability investigations. The theoretical soundness of this method was investigated, and it is shown here that there is theoretical inconsistency and ...

Abstract: Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence indicate a linear relationship between the land surface temperature (

Abstract: Long-term (1961–1990) areal evapotranspiration (

Abstract: A digital filtering algorithm for continuous base flow separation is compared to physically based simulations of base flow. It is shown that the digital filter gives comparable results to model simulations in terms of the ...

Abstract: A sample-data system discretization of the continuous Kalinin–Milyukov–Nash cascade is performed in a state-space analysis framework allowing for stream–aquifer interactions that include bank storage during flood events ...

Abstract: A discretization of the continuous Kalinin-Milyukov-Nash-cascade is performed with the help of state-space analysis for hydrological forecasting of streamflow. A sample-data system approach is used during the discretization ...

Abstract: Multiyear (1982–1990) monthly areal evapotranspiration (AET) was modeled with the Morton approach at the Solar and Meteorological Surface Observation Network stations within the conterminous United States. The AET values ...
