Abstract: Technological advances in communication provide many opportunities that are not readily available to the practicing engineer for training, continuing education, and self‐improvement needed to keep pace with his chosen ...

Abstract: Professional societies recognize the need for the continuous dialogue between practitioners and educators to assure graduates are able to fulfill organizational goals and objectives when selected for employment. Techniques ...

Abstract: mechanism for the transition of tropical cyclones (TCs) to the spontaneous rapid intensification (RI) phase is proposed based on numerical results of a three-dimensional full-physics model. The intensification phase of the ...

Abstract: riggering processes for the rapidly intensifying phase of a tropical cyclone (TC) were investigated on the basis of numerical experiments using a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic model. The results revealed that the rapid ...

Abstract: A new formulation in which the assumed stress field is divided into membrane and bending stress fields is developed. A family of effective shell elements of hybrid/mixed finite element method that accounts for transverse ...

Abstract: Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) is regarded as an alternative framing material for the construction industry. However, there is limited knowledge of its behavior in connection with commonly used sheathing material, such as ...

Abstract: AbstractStructural changes that precede rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) are examined in a full-physics model by conducting a large ensemble (270) of idealized TC simulations. The processes leading to ...

Abstract: For burying submarine cables under a seabed by a water jet cable burier, it is important to improve digging depth of water jet. This paper discusses digging properties with air-bubble water ...
