Abstract: The generally applicable approximate analysis for pad-type nozzles was shown statistically to be reliable through the use of the design of experiments. The focus was on membrane stresses due ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments are conducted using a sea ice?coupled ocean general circulation model (OGCM) forced by two different freshwater flux datasets. These two datasets are the National Centers for Environmental Prediction? ...

Abstract: A repeat hydrographic section along 165°E was analyzed to verify a westward extension of the formation region of the North Pacific Ocean Central Mode Water (CMW) suggested by previous synoptic observations, and to investigate ...

Abstract: In stability problems, the failure probability associated with the critical slip surface is known to be smaller than that for the system that comprises all potential slip surfaces. The difference depends on the correlation ...

Abstract: Laser-Doppler measurements of axial mean velocities and the corresponding rms values of turbulent velocity fluctuations are reported for premixed, axisymmetric, acetylene flames together with the ...

Abstract: The mathematical structure of Adachi and Oka’s model, a typical overstress type elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model, for normally consolidated clays is discussed. Since it has been recognized that the overstress type...

Abstract: A linear response analysis method of the tension leg platform (TLP) subjected to regular waves is proposed. In this analysis method, flexibility of the superstructure can be taken into account ...

Abstract: An elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model for frozen sand is proposed based on the elasto-viscoplasticity theory incorporating the new time measure. The proposed model can describe a number of ...

Abstract: Axial gas transport due to the interaction between radial mixing and radially nonuniform axial velocities is responsible for gas transport in thick airways during High-frequency oscillatory ...
