RISAn Effective Radius Retrieval for Thick Ice Clouds Using GOES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite retrieval of cirrus cloud microphysical properties is an important but difficult problem because of uncertainties in ice-scattering characteristics. Most methods have been developed for instruments aboard ...
Did Anyone Say BINGO: A Socially Assistive Robot to Promote Stimulating Recreational Activities at Long Term Care Facilities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
The Influence of Carbon Nanotube Aspect Ratio on Thermal Conductivity Enhancement in Nanotube–Polymer Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We report and model a linear increase in the thermal conductivity (خ؛) of polymer composites incorporated with relatively low length/diameter aspect ratio multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). There was no evidence of ...
Combined Bending-Torsion Fatigue Reliability of AISI 4340 Steel Shafting With Kt = 2.34
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results generated by three, unique fatigue reliability research machines which can apply reversed bending loads combined with steady torque are presented. Six-inch long, AISI 4340 steel, grooved ...
A Shearing Stretching Device That Can Apply Physiological Fluid Shear Stress and Cyclic Stretch Concurrently to Endothelial Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Endothelial cell (EC) morphology and functions can be highly impacted by the mechanical stresses that the cells experience in vivo. In most areas in the vasculature, ECs are continuously exposed to unsteady blood flowinduced ...
Effects of Graphene Oxide Thin Films and Nanocomposite Coatings on Flame Retardancy and Thermal Stability of Aircraft Composites: A Comparative Study
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A polymer matrix system of thermoset fiber-reinforced composites helps protect its high modulus and strength fibers from an adverse environment and transfers the load to the reinforced fibers. However, when subjected to a ...

Meshfree Method for Inelastic Frame Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The feasibility of using meshfree methods in nonlinear structural analysis is explored in an attempt to establish a new paradigm in structural engineering computation. A blended finite-element and meshfree Galerkin ...
Use of the GOES-R Split-Window Difference to Diagnose Deepening Low-Level Water Vapor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he depth of boundary layer water vapor plays a critical role in convective cloud formation in the warm season, but numerical models often struggle with accurate predictions of above-surface moisture. Satellite retrievals ...
