On the Aeroelastic Indifference of Brancusi s Endless Column

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Rene D. Gabbai
Brancusi s Endless Column (T rgu-Jiu, Romania) is an interesting case study in bluff body aeroelasticity. It has been referred to as aeroelastically indifferent owing to its remarkable aeroelastic stability with respect to galloping. The column s behavior

Alan M. Lytle, Sandor S. Szabo, Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi, Richard J. Norcross
The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG), in cooperation with the NIST Intelligent Systems Division (ISD), is developing performance metrics and standard tests for the evaluation of 3D imaging systems used in autonomous mobility

Planning Buildings that will Last

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
G J. Frohnsdorff, H Davies
In designing a building that will perform reliably over a specified time, a designer needs a vast amount of information about the performance of the available materials and components (hereafter referred to, collectively, as maerials) in the likely service

Plant Spatial Configuration Application Protocol. Edition 2

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Mark E. Palmer, M Gilbert, B F. Gischer
This document specifies the ISO 10303 application protocol (AP) Edition 2 for the exchange of spatial configuration information of process plants, plant systems and ship systems. This includes shape characteristics, spatial arrangement characteristics, and

Probability Distributions of Extreme Wind Speeds in Thunderstorm Prone Regions

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Franklin T. Lombardo, Emil Simiu
A recently developed capability allows the routine creation, from National Weather Service Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) records, of separate sets of extreme non-thunderstorm and thunderstorm wind speeds. Using such records it is possible to
