Abstract: A strain-based forming limit criterion is widely used throughout the sheet-metal forming industry to gauge the stability of the deformed material with respect to the development of a localized ...

Abstract: A simple form of atmospheric tidal theory is used to deduce the dynamic atmospheric response to the nearly periodic 14 month precession of the Earth's rotation axis about its mean position, known as Chandler wobble. The ...

Abstract: As a result of the expense and lengthy delays associated with litigating construction disputes, public owners, as well as private owners, are increasingly opting for an alternative to litigation to resolve these disputes. ...

Abstract: The prediction of temperatures in power semiconductor modules, such as insulatedgate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) is critical to ensure adequate lifetime modeling of the devices. A temperature of particular interest is that ...

Abstract: Twophase thermosyphons with condensers from rollbonded panels, short “rollbond thermosiphons,â€‌ are attractive for powerelectronics cooling. Using simulations, the performance of rollbond thermosyphons and classical ...

Abstract: A parameterization based on internal wave/wave interaction theory, which infers turbulence production from finescale internal wave shear, is applied to 114 full-water-depth velocity profiles in the Sargasso Sea. An average ...
