Abstract: decade of newly available Argo float data for the period 2004?13 are used to investigate the three-dimensional structures of upper-ocean seasonality with emphasis on the vertical aspects of annual and semiannual cycles, ...

Abstract: Abstract The behavior of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) composites in different substrates depends on the strength of the textile, the matrix, and the substrate. Simulating three key failure modes—TRM debonding, textile ...

Abstract: Based on the classical plate theory (CPT), we derive scaling factors between solutions of bending, buckling and free vibration of isotropic functionally graded material (FGM) thin plates and those of the corresponding ...

Abstract: Abstract Rock formations naturally contain numerous joint fissures that can impact their mechanical properties and damage mechanisms. Among the commonly used materials for supporting, micronegative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) ...

Abstract: Wave measurements retrieved by Sentinel-1A level-2 ocean (OCN) products are sensitive to swells other than wind seas, and are considered to provide a finer resolution of ocean swells. To assess the capability of swell ...

Abstract: The safety of cooling water intake in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has gradually become an important factor affecting the safety of NPPs. Marine flora and fauna outbreaks are one of the main types affecting the safety of ...
