RISA Coupled Model Study on the Formation and Dissipation of Sea Fogs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examined the impact of air?sea coupling using a coupled atmosphere?ocean modeling system consisting of the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System as the atmospheric component and the Regional Ocean ...
Effect of Solar Radiation on Suspension Bridge Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Observations of a U.K. suspension bridge show that thermal expansion and contraction cycles do not follow simple linear relationships with a single temperature value and that time lag and temperature distribution can be ...
Harmonious Cable Actuation Mechanism for Soft Robot Joints Using a Pair of Noncircular Pulleys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various slim robots, such as surgical robots or humanoid robot fingers, are remotely actuated using transmission cables. If pull–pull drive is applied to actuate them using circular driving spools regardless of the shape ...

Elastic Analysis for Defects in an Orthotropic Kirchhoff Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Defects such as inhomogeneities, inclusions with eigenstrains, and dislocations in an infinite orthotropic Kirchhoff plate are analyzed. These results could be applied to thin plate problems ...
Application of Axiomatic Design Theory to a Microfluidic Device for the Production of Uniform Water-in-Oil Microspheres Adapting an Integration Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work describes a novel microfluidic method to generate uniform water-in-oil (W/O) microspheres using the phase separation technique. Axiomatic design theory (ADT) was employed for the conceptual ...
Warming of Western North Pacific Ocean and Energetics of Transient Eddy Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the increase in the sea surface temperature (SST) in the western North Pacific Ocean (WNPO) during December?February for the period 1959?2008. The relationship of this SST increase with significant ...
River-Flow Forecasting Using Higher-Order Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel neural modeling methodology for forecasting daily river discharge that makes use of neural units with higher-order synaptic operations (NU-HSOs). For hydrologic forecasting, conventional ...
Temperature Analysis of a Long-Span Suspension Bridge Based on Field Monitoring and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural temperature is an important form of loading for bridges, particularly for long-span steel structures. In this study, the temperature distribution of the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom is investigated using ...
