Abstract: Methods for stochastic simulation of sample functions have increasingly addressed the preservation of both spectral and probabilistic contents to offer an accurate description of the dynamic behavior of system input for ...

Abstract: The objective of the Alternate Test Procedure (ATP) is to develop the capability to qualify new fuels for Navy aircraft use with a minimum of testing. The effect of fuel composition and ...

Abstract: A new higher order geometrically nonlinear relation is developed to relate the deflection of a thin film /substrate system to the intrinsic film stress when these deflections are larger than ...

Abstract: A three degree-of-freedom (3DOF) pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) has been developed and used in the design of a new class of self-retracting fully compliant bistable micromechanism (SRFBM). The ...

Abstract: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintains two Orion WP-3D aircraft based in Miami, Florida, and used for atmospheric and oceanographic research in support of NOAA projects and missions. Good ...

Abstract: There are many applications for problems involving thermal conduction in twodimensional (2D) cylindrical objects. Experiments involving thermal parameter estimation are a prime example, including cylindrical objects suddenly ...

Abstract: The analytical solution for the problem of transient thermal conduction with solid body movement is developed for a parallelepiped with convective boundary conditions. An effective transformation ...

Abstract: This paper presents the methodology and results of a study of the performance of site-built single-family structures in Florida constructed after Andrew-related changes to the

Abstract: An extensive series of experiments in a large boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) was carried out at the University of Florida (UF) Natural Hazard Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Experimental Facility to investigate ...
