RISUse of Ultrasound Excited Thermography Applied to Massive Steel Components: Emerging Crack Detection Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the field of nondestructive testing of structural components, active thermography methods are increasingly in demand. The most experience is available in testing of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) or similar types ...
Interannual Extremes in New Zealand Precipitation Linked to Modes of Southern Hemisphere Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual extremes in New Zealand rainfall and their modulation by modes of Southern Hemisphere climate variability are examined in observations and a coupled climate model. North Island extreme dry (wet) years are ...
Multidecadal Indian Ocean Variability Linked to the Pacific and Implications for Preconditioning Indian Ocean Dipole Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Indian Ocean has sustained robust surface warming in recent decades, but the role of multidecadal variability remains unclear. Using ocean model hindcasts, characteristics of low-frequency Indian Ocean temperature ...
Causes of Late Twentieth-Century Trends in New Zealand Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Late twentieth-century trends in New Zealand precipitation are examined using observations and reanalysis data for the period 1979?2006. One of the aims of this study is to investigate the link between these trends and ...
Resilience and Sustainability of Civil Infrastructure: Toward a Unified Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, the concepts of resilience and sustainability have become very topical and popular. The concept of sustainability rose to prominence in the late 1980s and became a central issue in world politics, when the ...
Fatigue Performance of Tension Steel Plates Strengthened with Prestressed CFRP Laminates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental and analytical study was conducted to investigate the fatigue behavior of tension steel plates strengthened with prestressed carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. A simple fracture mechanics ...
Interannual Rainfall Extremes over Southwest Western Australia Linked to Indian Ocean Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual rainfall extremes over southwest Western Australia (SWWA) are examined using observations, reanalysis data, and a long-term natural integration of the global coupled climate system. The authors reveal a ...
Fatigue Performance Analysis of Damaged Steel Beams Strengthened with Prestressed Unbonded CFRP Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study was experimentally and numerically conducted to investigate the fatigue performance of notched steel beams strengthened with prestressed unbonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. The experimental study ...
Impact of Surface Forcing on Southern Hemisphere Atmospheric Blocking in the Australia–New Zealand Sector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: haracteristics of atmospheric blocking in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) are explored in atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations with the Community Atmosphere Model, version 3, with a particular focus on the ...
Anomalous Rainfall over Southwest Western Australia Forced by Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential impact of Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in modulating midlatitude precipitation across southern and western regions of Australia is assessed in a series of atmospheric general circulation ...
