Abstract: The decay of mesoscale eddies can be attributed to either frictional dissipation of kinetic energy through viscous effects or through dispersive spreading of the different constituent Rossby wave components at their own ...

Abstract: A comparison is presented between the sensitivity to measurement error of the crack compliance and layer removal methods of residual stress measurement when applied to glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) pipes. This is ...

Abstract: In order to clarify some inconsistencies in the literature, on ocean energetics, the evaluation of the available potential energy (APE) is reconsidered. Attention is focused on the baroclinic APE under conditions in which ...

Abstract: Designers struggle to (1) collaborate within projects, (2) share processes across projects, and (3) understand processes across the firm or industry. Overcoming each challenge requires communication of design processes. ...
