Abstract: Bridge damage frequencies observed on a 5,500 mile (8,800 km) segment of railroad during a 10‐yr period indicate that the probability of damage is strongly influenced by bridge type and moderately influenced by location ...

Abstract: The results of a digital computer and analytic study of the critical flow of a compressible fluid are presented in this paper. The expanding flow of a fluid in a single-phase region as well ...

Abstract: A rationale is presented to explain the decrease in spin rate which frequently accompanies an increase in muzzle velocity for gun projectiles fitted with plastic sealing bands.

Abstract: The vertical of Jupiter's atmosphere is probed and isolated by evaluating the stability characteristics of planetary vortices over a wide parameter range. The resulting structures lead to simulating the genesis of single ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the development and implementation of a layered analysis method for predicting the response of FRP-reinforced glulam beams with partially composite concrete decks. The development of the model is quite ...

Abstract: The possibility that the tropopause could be lower during an ice-age cooling leads to an examination of the general sensitivity of global circulations to the tropopause height by altering a constant stratospheric temperature ...

Abstract: Altering the tropospheric static stability changes the nature of the equatorial superrotation associated with unstable, low-latitude, westerly jets, according to calculations with a dry, global, multilevel, spectral, ...

Abstract: To extend studies of the dynamics of thin atmospheric layers, the generation and equilibration of multiple anticyclonic vortex sets associated with long solitary baroclinic Rossby waves are examined numerically using a ...
