Abstract: This paper summarizes data obtained at Oklahoma State University under contract with ASME through RCMPE to measure the deflection characteristics of commercially produced Bourdon tubes. The method ...

Abstract: Previous work indicated that rates of change of shear stress, effective normal stress, and void ratio of a sheared soil are proportional to applied values of shear and effective normal stress; initial proportionality values ...

Abstract: Many practitioners today are faced with the task of advising clients on matters that may affect the number of project bidders. An appropriate question may be, does a restriction of bidder participation negatively impact ...

Abstract: The simulation method to be used in FMS should be multilevel and dynamic and should incorporate solid modeling techniques. This means that operation control simulation in FMS should rely on ...

Abstract: Objectively analyzed surface hydrographic fields and NCEP?NCAR reanalysis fluxes are used to estimate water mass transformation and formation rates in the Labrador Sea, focusing on Labrador Sea Water (LSW). The authors ...

Abstract: An experimental study of small-scale variability of raindrop size distributions (DSDs) has been carried out at Wallops Island, Virginia. Three Joss?Waldvogel disdrometers were operated at a distance of 0.65, 1.05, and 1.70 ...

Abstract: outhward transports in the deep western boundary current across 53°N, over 1949?99, are determined from a historical reconstruction. Long-term mean transports, for given water masses, for net southward transport (the ...

Abstract: The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of an overcast atmosphere above an ocean surface has been calculated as a function of wavelength using a discrete-ordinates radiative transfer model. This ...
