Experimental Investigations of Vortex Induced Vibration of A Flat Plate in Pitch Oscillation
(2012-02-14)
A bluff structure placed in a flowing fluid, may be subjected to vortex-induced vibrations
(VIV). For a flat plate with only rotational degree of freedom, the VIV is
rotational oscillation. Based on the experimental ...
Gains and losses in the eyes of the beholder: a comparative study of foreign policy decision making under risk
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Prospect theory is a descriptive model of individual decision-making under risk (Kahneman and Tversky 1979). The central tenet of prospect theory posits that the risk orientation of decision-makers is affected by the gains ...
A component-based collaboration infrastructure
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Groupware applications allow geographically distributed users to collaborate
on shared tasks. However, it is widely recognized that groupware applications are
expensive to build due to coordination services and group ...
The Nature of Supernovae Progenitors and Interstellar Dust: Light Echoes Around Type Ia Supernovae
(2017-06-08)
Incomprehensive knowledge on dust is hindering our study of the universe. For example, the type Ia supernovae (SNe) cosmology requires better estimation of interstellar extinction to reduce systematic uncertainties. The ...
Wrinkling of Stiff Films on Stretched Compliant Films: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
(2013-12-06)
Wrinkling of stiff film on semi-infinite compliant substrates has attracted attentions recently due to its important applications in stretchable electronics and micro-pattern metrology. However, wrinkling of a stiff film ...
