Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Damage-Based Design Earthquake Loads for Single-Degree-Of-Freedom Inelastic Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a new framework for modeling design earthquake loads for inelastic structures. Limited information on strong ground motions is assumed to be available only at the given site. The design earthquake ...
Behavior of UHMWPE Material in Water Supply Systems Considering Water Quality
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study assesses the performance of an existing ductile iron (DI) pipe network and a pipe network of an alternative new material, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The study involved the modeling of ...
Mathematical Modeling of a Thin Layer Solar Kiln
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mathematical modeling of a thin layer solar kiln for drying of agricultural products is presented. Governing equations of the air temperature and air humidity ratio, material temperature and its ...
The Relative Angular Velocity Between Links
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The magnitude of the relative angular velocity between two links is equal to the component of the relative velocity between any two points, one on each link, along the line joining them ...
Remote Sensing of Cloud Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Day and night mapping of the global distributions of the horizontal cloud covers and the corresponding cloud-top pressure levels are derived from the same set of infrared radiance data used to retrieve clear-column temperature ...
Remote Sounding of Cloudy Atmospheres. I. The Single Cloud Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relaxation method for the inverse solution of the radiative transfer equation is applied in a dual frequency scheme for the determination of complete vertical temperature profiles in cloudy atmospheres from radiance ...
An Analytical Transformation for Remote Sensing of Clear-Column Atmospheric Temperature Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An exact analytical transformation is presented for the remote sensing of atmospheric temperature profiles in the presence of clouds. The transformation permits direct retrieval of clear-column temperature profiles without ...
Inverse Problems in Radiative Transfer: Determination of Atmospheric Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the relaxation method for inverse solution of the full radiative transfer equation leads to unique temperature profiles. Apart from its attractive simplicity, the algorithm is also capable of discriminating ...
A General Relaxation Method for Inverse Solution of the Full Radiative Transfer Equation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relaxation method for the inverse solution of the full radiative transfer equation is generalized to solve for all atmospheric parameters which appear in the integrand as functions or functionals, without any a priori ...
