RISAn Objective Method to Modify Numerical Model Forecasts with Newly Given Weather Data Using an Artificial Neural Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An objective method of forecasting precipitation coverage with a neural network is presented. This method uses as predictors all available data at local weather stations including both numerical model results and weather ...
Heat Exchanger Tube Fretting Wear: Review and Application to Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow-induced vibration in steam generators and heat exchangers can cause dynamic interactions between tubes and tube supports resulting in fretting-wear. The effects on tube wear of various ...
Formulas for Calibration of Rheological Parameters of Bingham Fluid in Couette Rheometer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We propose simple formulas for calibration of rheological parameters of Bingham fluid using a coaxial cylinder rheometer, in which the inner cylinder rotates at a constant speed, and the outer cylinder is stationary. A ...
Scattering of Stress Waves by a Circular Elastic Cylinder Embedded in an Elastic Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: pulse wave. Making use of modified Kirchhoff’s integral formulas developed for elastodynamics by Ko [1], wave-front stresses and displacements during the early stage of interaction are obtained for both interior...
Bond Stress–Slip Relationship between FRP Sheet and Concrete under Cyclic Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fifty-four bond specimens were subjected to cyclic bond tests to obtain the bond stress–slip relationships between the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets and concrete. The specimens were prepared in accordance with Japan ...
Long-Term Trend of Temporal Distribution of Roadway Traffic
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the long-term trend of temporal distribution of roadway traffic using hourly traffic-count data collected in Seoul, South Korea, from 1995 to 2010. Interpolations using quadratic local polynomial ...
Analytical Studies on a Crack in Layered Structures Mimicking Nacre
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, we study a model layered structure mimicking nacre. We start from an elastic energy appropriate for the model. We formulate how to obtain stress and strain distributions for this special elastic theory and ...
Wear of Power Plant Components Due to Impact and Sliding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In nuclear power plants, major tribological problems can occur among the interacting components, such as those in the control assembly, the reactors and the steam generators, due to a combination ...
Tide-Induced Ground-Water Flow in Deep Confined Aquifer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water-elevation variation in rivers can be large due to tides even far away from the coastline. For deep confined aquifers, the possibility of leakage from rivers is small. Nevertheless, the fluctuation of river elevation ...
