Abstract: Linear and nonlinear stability theorems for the generalized Eady model are obtained by the normal-mode method and the energy?Casimir method, respectively. The nonlinear stability criterion is optimal in the following sense: ...

Abstract: AbstractAir traffic controllers in airport towers face high mental workloads as they manage dense and dynamic traffic within limited airport capacities, often leading to airside congestion, safety risks, and excessive fuel ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of stress ratio and microstructure on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of HRB4 steel bars widely used in concrete bridges. A constant stress–controlled FCG test with different ...

Abstract: Life prediction in energy infrastructure such as gas pipelines is important to maintain the integrity of such systems. This paper explores a life prediction model for polyethylene materials in natural gas distribution ...

Abstract: Growing trends towards increased complexity and prolonged useful lives of engineering systems present challenges for system designers in accounting for the impacts of post-design activities (e.g., manufacturing, condition ...

Abstract: Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) aims to accelerate optimal design of complex material systems by integrating material science and design automation. For tractable ICME, it is required that (1) a ...
