Abstract: Air damper dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is modeled using Maxwell transformed element and coulomb element. This damper serves to minimize vibration at resonant and operation of constant speed machine. Its stiffness and ...

Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding changes in subdaily rainfall extremes is critical to urban planners for building more sustainable and resilient cities. In this study, the hourly precipitation data in 1971?2016 from 61 rain gauges ...

Abstract: his study examines the impact of climate change on droughts in Norway. A spatially distributed (1 ? 1 km2) version of the Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) precipitation-runoff model was used to provide ...

Abstract: This paper identifies the risk factors associated with international construction joint ventures (JVs) from and “integrated” perspective. The risk factors are grouped into three main groups: (1) Internal; (2) Project-specific; ...

Abstract: n this study, synoptic situations associated with extreme hourly precipitation over China are investigated using rain gauge data, weather maps, and composite radar reflectivity data. Seasonal variations of hourly precipitation ...

Abstract: In this study, a new magnesium (Mg) alloy containing 0.4% Ce was developed using the technique of disintegrated melt deposition followed by hot extrusion. The tensile and compressive properties of the developed Mg–0.4Ce ...

Abstract: uring the pre-summer rainy season (April-June), South China often experiences frequent occurrences of extreme rainfall, leading to severe flooding and inundations. To expedite the efforts in improving the quantitative ...
