RISBreakdown of the Relationship between Australian Summer Rainfall and ENSO Caused by Tropical Indian Ocean SST Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe relationship between El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Australian summer rainfall (ASR) during 1960?2015 experienced an interdecadal change around the mid-1980s. Before the mid-1980s, ASR was significantly ...
Effect of Total Stress Path and Gas Volume Change on Undrained Shear Strength of Gassy Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Clay with free gas bubbles can be frequently encountered in the seabed. Gassy clay is an unsaturated soil, but its mechanical behavior cannot be described using conventional unsaturated soil mechanics because it has a ...

Evaluation on Failure of Fiber-Reinforced Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber reinforcement can help to enhance soil strength, stabilize near-surface soil layers, and mitigate the risk of soil liquefaction. Evaluation of the strength of fiber-reinforced soils needs a proper failure criterion. ...
Unified Anisotropic Elastoplastic Model for Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a unified approach to model the influence of fabric anisotropy and its evolution on both the elastic and plastic responses of sand. A physically based fabric tensor is employed to characterize the ...
The Record-Breaking Hot Summer in 2015 over Hawaii and Its Physical Causes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHawaiian surface air temperature (HST) during the summer of 2015 (from July to October) was about 1.5°C higher than the climatological mean, which was the hottest since records began in 1948. In the context of ...
Thermal-Hydraulic Model and Program Development for Helium-Cooled Accelerator-Driven System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accelerator-driven subcritical reactor system (ADS) is a kind of nuclear reactor which can burn minor actinide waste products produced from conventional reactors with inherent safety features. In this paper, the ...
Periodicity and Stability in Transverse Motion of a Nonlinear Rotor-Bearing System Using Generalized Harmonic Balance Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many rotor assemblies of industrial turbomachines are supported by oil-lubricated bearings. It is well known that the operation safety of these machines is highly dependent on rotors whose stability is closely related to ...
Constitutive Modeling of Anisotropic Sand Behavior in Monotonic and Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An anisotropic plasticity model is proposed to describe the fabric effect on sand behavior under both monotonic and cyclic loading conditions within the framework of anisotropic critical state theory. The model employs a ...
Acoustic Analogy for Multiphase or Multicomponent Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) equation is widely used to predict sound generated from flow and its interaction with impermeable or permeable surfaces. Owing to the Heaviside function used, this equation assumes ...
