RISRegular Structures in a Plane Triple Jet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mixing process in the near field of a triple rectangular jet (air-CO2 -air-jet) has been investigated in this paper by number density measurements (Laser-Raman-scattering) and schlieren ...
Synoptic Conditions, Clouds, and Sea Ice Melt Onset in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seasonal Ice Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCloud response to synoptic conditions over the Beaufort and Chukchi seasonal ice zone is examined. Four synoptic states with distinct thermodynamic and dynamic signatures are identified using ERA-Interim reanalysis ...
Nonlocal Multilaminate Model for Strain Softening Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A constitutive model formulated within the multilaminate framework is described in this paper. The basic model, incorporating deviatoric and volumetric hardening, was developed for normally consolidated or slightly ...
Influence of Anisotropic Small Strain Stiffness on the Deformation Behavior of Geotechnical Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Constitutive models based on the multilaminate framework naturally account for strain-induced anisotropy, but inherent anisotropy needs additional considerations. A recently introduced feature is the capability of the model ...
Numerical Investigation of Sequential Strut Failure on Performance of Deep Excavations in Soft Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The structural support system is the key element in the design of any deep excavations, in particular, in difficult ground conditions, and an adequate safety margin is required to cover uncertainties inherent in geotechnical ...
Arctic Cloudiness. Comparison of ISCCP-C2 and Nimbus-7 Satellite-derived Cloud Products with a Surface-based Cloud Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One surface-based and two satellite arctic cloud climatologies are compared in terms of the annual cycle and spatial patterns of total monthly cloud amounts. Additionally, amounts and spatial patterns of low, middle, and ...
Reliability Analysis in Geotechnics with Deterministic Finite Elements — Theoretical Concepts and Practical Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive procedure for combining probabilistic concepts and deterministic finite element methods for geotechnical analysis is presented. Bayes’ theorem is employed to arrive at input parameters for the calculations ...
Influence of Deep Excavations on Nearby Existing Tunnels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In Shanghai, a number of new underground passages are being constructed, often requiring deep excavations. When the excavations are in the vicinity of existing tunnels, it is necessary to assess the influence of these ...
Finite Element Method–Based Analysis of an Unsaturated Soil Slope Subjected to Rainfall Infiltration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents results from the finite-element analysis of a well-instrumented and well-monitored 11-m-high cut slope in Zaoyang, Hubei, China, subjected to rainfall infiltration. This analysis requires simultaneously ...
Arctic Ocean Radiative Fluxes and Cloud Forcing Estimated from the ISCCP C2 Cloud Dataset, 1983 1990
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative fluxes and cloud forcings for the ocean areas of the Arctic are computed from the monthly cloud product of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) for 1983?90. Spatially averaged short-wave ...
