Tree resistance to overturning is crucial in forestry hazard applications and management. anchorage varies considerably with species, tree age, site conditions. We investigate the relationship between root characteristics of slip surface role roots (regarding different diameters overturning). Four Leucaena leucocephala were fully excavated by a quadrate monolith establish distribution character...

A scroll compressor concept is presented which has a very unique method of eliminating the inherent overturning or tipping moment associated with conventional orbiting scrolls. This design is a high~side compressor with axial compliance. An innovative gas discharge path from the involute effectively reduces the height of the assembly. A special offset is placed in the location of the involute, ...

Moving car on rough road suddenly gets out of its way for some reason and moves to the edge of the road at the same speed. Since the most important factor in car overturning is vertical acceleration in the wheels and car speed and road conditions determine the vertical instantaneous acceleration, brake system according to change of the spring length is designed in such a way that by monitoring ...

Seismic safety of liquid storage tanks is of considerable importance due to its application in different industries. In Iran, most of these storage tanks are designed based on API650 code provisions. Despite designing tanks according to API standard, the lesson learned from previous earthquakes, shows different kind of damage occurring on them. This study is an investigation on evaluating diffe...

This study evaluated the lateral and overturning resistance of wind turbine foundations reinforced with piles on bedrock through model experiments. In particular, changes in were analyzed according to cross-sectional size presence foundations. As a result, by reducing cross-section, pile-reinforced foundation was compared existing large cross-sections shown be 1.68 times greater. case vertical ...

Zonal wind stress over the Southern Ocean may be responsible for a significant fraction of the meridional overturning associated with North Atlantic Deep Water. Numerical experiments by Tsujino and Suginohara imply that the zonal periodicity of the Southern Ocean is not necessary for midlatitude westerly winds to drive strong remote meridional overturning. Here, idealized numerical experiments ...

Previous idealized investigations of Southern Ocean overturning have omitted its connection with the Antarctic continental shelves, leaving the influence of shelf processes on Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) export unconsidered. In particular, the contribution of mesoscale eddies to setting the stratification and overturning circulation in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is well establish...

We examine whether the reduced meridional temperature gradients of past greenhouse climates might have reduced oceanic overturning, leading to a more quiescent subsurface ocean. A substantial reduction of the pole-toEquator temperature difference is achieved in a coupled climate model via an altered radiative balance in the atmosphere. Contrary to expectations, we find that the meridional overt...

Two idealized, three-dimensional, analytical models of mid-depth meridional overturning in a basin with a southern-hemisphere circumpolar connection are described. In the first, the overturning circulation can be understood as a ‘pump and valve’ system, in which the wind forcing at the latitudes of the circumpolar connection is the pump, and surface thermodynamic exchange at high northern latit...
