Nomadologic Ulysses: Pounding Overseas

The Ulysses perspective

Pounding Control of Structures Using Base Isolation

The most important property of a base-isolation system is to make the base more flexible than the elements of the superstructure, but it must still be stiff enough to resist typical pounding forces, wind loadings, and similar low-amplitude horizontal forces. However, the potential consequences of earthquake-induced poundings on seismically isolated buildings can be much more substantial, and, t...

lbsh: Pounding Science into the Command-Line

The definition of science is rooted in the notion that results must be reproducible. However, this must be more than just a presumption. Scientific disciplines must strive to ensure and facilitate that results actually are reproduced and build upon. In order to facilitate this in Computer Science, a detailed step-by-step record of how each result-set was generated is critical. This is called Da...

Current sheets from Ulysses observation

Current sheet is a significant source of solar wind MHD turbulence intermittency. It has long been recognized that these structures can arise from non-linear interactions of MHD turbulence. Alternatively, they may also be relic structures in the solar wind that have a solar origin, e.g., magnetic walls of flux tubes that separate solar wind plasma into distinct parcels. Identifying these struct...
