RISExperimental Analysis of Bending Resistance of Bamboo Composite I-Shaped Beam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new type of bamboo composite I-shaped beam, which consists of bamboo laminate as its upper and down flange plates and bamboo curtain plywood as its web, was introduced in the paper. In this new type of beam, a connection ...

Discontinuous Bifurcation Analysis of a Coupled Rate-Dependent Damage and Plasticity Model for Impact Responses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To identify the transition from continuous to discontinuous modes in the failure evolution of quasibrittle materials under impact, a coupled rate-dependent damage and plasticity model is developed within the thermodynamics ...
Dynamic Fluid-Structure Coupling Method of Flexible Flapping Wing for MAV
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method to simulate the dynamic interaction between the structural deformation and the aerodynamic characteristics of flexible flapping wing for micro air vehicle (MAV). A fluid-structure ...
Correlation-Based Interpolation of NSCAT Wind Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) wind estimates cover about 75% of the globe. The remaining data gaps, which require interpolation, are regularly distributed in space and time. The development of this interpolation algorithm ...
Optimization of Damping Properties of Staggered Composites Through Microstructure Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many natural materials, such as shell and bone, exhibit extraordinary damping properties under dynamic outside excitations. To explore the underlying mechanism of these excellent performances, we carry out the shear-lag ...
Evaluation of Latent Heat Flux Fields from Satellites and Models during SEMAPHORE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Latent heat fluxes were derived from satellite observations in the region of Structure des Echanges Mer?Atmosphère, Propriétés des Hétérogénéités Océaniques: Recherche Expérimentale (SEMAPHORE), which was conducted near ...
Humidity Profiles over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere affects climate change through radiative balance and surface evaporation. The variabilities of atmospheric humidity profile over oceans from daily to interannual time scales ...
Influence of Different Take-Off Weights on the Longitudinal Dynamic Stability of Flapping-Wing MAVs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to different requirements of flight tasks, take-off weights vary according to different payloads, which will definitely influence the trim characteristics and flight dynamics of vehicles. When the mass ratio between ...
Effect of Blade Trailing Edge Cutting Angle on Unstable Flow and Vibration in a Centrifugal Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vibration induced by the unsteady fluid exciting force in a centrifugal pump is one of the important factors affecting the reliable operation of the pump. In this study, the cutting of the blade trailing edge of a ...
