Abstract: The propagation of planetary waves at the 500 mb level is investigated by applying an extended version of wavenumber-frequency analysis. By separating the variance attributable to wave disturbances from the total variance, ...

Abstract: Implicit integration, unencumbered by numerical stability constraints, is attractive in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation due to its presumed ability to advance the simulation at large step sizes. ...

Abstract: Open cross-section, thin-walled, cold-formed steel columns have at least three competing buckling modes: local, distortional, and Euler (i.e., flexural or flexural-torsional) buckling. Closed-form prediction of the buckling ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate and compare design methods for locally slender steel columns. Three design methods utilized for such columns in the United States are explored: (1) the Q-factor method; ...

Abstract: This paper presents an integrated approach to the layout generation of 3D rectagonal objects and wiring area estimation. Problems of this type are encountered in various component layout tasks ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide the theoretical background and illustrate the capabilities of the constrained finite strip method (cFSM) for thin-walled members with general end boundary conditions. Based on the ...
