RISThe Intermodel Diversity of East Asia’s Summer Rainfall among CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBased on the results of 46 phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models and empirical orthogonal function analysis, it was found that the leading diversity mode of East Asian summer rainfall ...
Internal Structure Quantification for Granular Constitutive Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The importance of internal structure on the stress-strain behavior of granular materials has been widely recognized. How to define the fabric tensor and use it in constitutive modeling, however, remains an open question. ...
Calibration of LaD Model in the Northeast United States Using Observed Annual Streamflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calibration of land surface models improves simulations of surface water and energy fluxes and provides important information for water resources management. However, most calibration studies focus on local sites and/or ...
Relation between Mean and Maximum Velocities in a Natural River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The cross-sectional mean velocity is an important variable in open-channel hydraulics, whereas the maximum velocity in a channel cross section is mentioned very little. However, the maximum velocity in a channel cross ...
Numerical Investigations of Blockiness of Fractured Rocks Based on Fracture Spacing and Disc Diameter
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Some numerical models treat masses of rock as assemblages of isolated blocks, whereas others treat them as continuous material. It needs to be determined at what level a rock is cut into assemblages of discrete blocks by ...
Dynamic Analysis of Viscoelastic Asphalt Pavement under Vehicle–Bridge Interaction Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a scheme to study dynamic responses of viscoelastic asphalt pavement under vehicle–bridge interaction. It is of great importance to accurately describe tire–pavement contact for dynamic behavior and ...
Finite Modal Vibration Control and Actuator/Sensor Analysis for Rigid Center–Flexible Appendage Satellites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel vibration control method for rigid center–flexible appendage satellites considering actuator/sensor deployments. Initially, we derive the satellite model in planar motion and analyze the impact ...
Similarity Analysis for Nonequilibrium Turbulent Boundary Layers*
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In his now classical paper on pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers, Clauser concluded that equilibrium flows were very special flows difficult to achieve experimentally and that few flows ...
A General Fatigue Theory and Its Application to Out-of-Phase Cyclic Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results of an experimental investigation of a constant-amplitude, fully reversed biaxial tension-compression out-of-phase cyclic loading are presented first. An energy-based fatigue theory is extended ...
An Experimental Study on the Effect of Prior Plastic Straining on Creep Behavior of 304 Stainless Steel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Constant strain-rate plastic straining followed by creep tests were conducted to investigate the effect of prior plastic straining on the subsequent creep behavior of 304 stainless steel at room ...
