Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on the horizontal and vertical distributions of density and wind and their variation with time is important in the design and operation of aerospace vehicles as well as to atmospheric scientists seeking a more precise description of atmospheric structure. Consequently, we have estimated the variations of density and wind at seven locations for periods of from 1 to 72 h between altitudes 30 and 60 km. In the tropics density variations with time are dominated by a diurnal cycle. At other latitudes the diurnal cycle is too small to detect in a lag variability study based on Meteorological Rocket Network observations because the diurnal components are obscured by random observational errors as well as day-to-day changes in synoptic conditions. In summer there is only a small increase in rms variability of density with time at middle and high latitudes; rms values range from 20 to 4 percent for periods up to 72 h. In winter there is a marked change in the rms variability with time at midlatitudes where rms values increase with time, approaching the climatic variability of 5 or 6 percent in 72 h. At high latitudes rms variations increase more rapidly with time and reach 8 or 9 percent within 72 h. Analyses of midlatitude wind data between 30 and 60 km confirm the presence of a well-defined diurnal wind oscillation. It reaches a maximum amplitude of 10 or 11 m/sec between 50 and 55 km; amplitudes tend to be slightly smaller in tropical and polar regions.

Download or read book Profiles of Temperature and Density Based on 1 and 10 percent Extremes in the Stratosphere and Troposphere written by Arthur J. Kantor and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertical profiles of temperature and density have been developed based on 1 and 10 percent warm and cold temperatures and 1 and 10 percent high and low densities occurring at the worst locations in the world (except Antarctica) during the worst month. The profiles, from the surface to 80 km, are based on extremes that occur at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 km. For example, one of the temperature profiles developed was based on a 10 percent warm temperature at an altitude of 20 km; thus, it represents meteorological conditions typically associated with this extreme. Ten such warm profiles (5 levels by 2 percentiles) and 10 cold profiles have been constructed from 14 years of rawinsonde and rocketsonde observations. Internally consistent hydrostatic profiles of density associated with these temperature profiles are provided. Twenty analogous density (and associated temperature) profiles also have been developed from extreme densities occurring at these altitudes. Thus, a set of realistic profiles (rather than envelopes) of temperature and density associated with extremes at specified levels in the troposphere and stratosphere are available for altitudes up to 80 km. Keywords: Atmospheric profiles; Extreme atmospheres; Temperature profiles; Density profiles; Thermodynamic properties.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is a comprehensive collection of data, formulas, definitions, and theories concerning the natural environment. It was written by scientists of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories (AFCRL) which, in 1976, became the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory (AFGL). It was designed to serve a broad spectrum of users: the planner, designer, developer, and operator of aerospace systems; the scientist who will find the tables and figures a convenient reference in his own field; the specialist who needs environmental data in another discipline; and science minded people who seek a summary of space-age environmental research. Revisions of individual chapters and sections of this handbook will be published as additional environmental research efforts pay off in new knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shells are basic structural elements of modern technology. Examples of shell structures include automobile bodies, domes, water and oil tanks, pipelines, ship hulls, aircraft fuselages, turbine blades, laudspeaker cones, but also balloons, parachutes, biological membranes, a human skin, a bottle of wine or a beer can. This volume contains full texts of over 100 papers presented by specialists from over 20 countries at the 8th Conference "Shell Structures: Theory and Applications", 12-14 October, 2005 in Jurata (Poland). The aim of the meeting was to bring together scientists, designers, engineers and other specialists in shell structures in order to discuss important results and new ideas in this field. The goal is to pursue more accurate theoretical models, to develop more powerful and versatile methods of analysis, and to disseminate expertise in design and maintenance of shell structures. Among the authors there are many distinguished specialists of shell structures, including the authors of general lectures: I.V. Andrianov (Ukraine), V.A. Eremeyev (Russia), A. Ibrahimbegovic (France), P. Klosowski (Poland), B.H. Kröplin (Germany), E. Ramm (Germany), J.M. Rotter (UK) and D. Steigmann (USA). The subject area of the papers covers various theoretical models and numerical analyses of strength, dynamics, stability, optimization etc. of different types of shell structures, their design and maintenance, as well as modelling of some surface-related mechanical phenomena.
