Statistical Identification of Parameters for Damaged FGM Structures with Material Uncertainties in Thermal Environment by Yalan Xu, Yu Qian, Kongming Guo

“…In order to implement the forward propagation of uncertainties required in the stochastic model updating and avoid large error resulting in the nonconvergence of the iteration process, an algorithm is proposed to compute the covariance between the modal parameters and the identified parameters for damaged FGM structures. The proposed method is illustrated by a numerically simulated damaged FGM beam with continuous spatial variation of material properties and verified by comparing with the Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) method. …”

Transport and Mixing in Planetary Polar Vortices with Annular and Monopolar Potential Vorticity Structures by Jacob Shultis, William Seviour, Darryn Waugh, Anthony Toigo

“…Polar vortices are a common feature in the solar system, but their structure varies between planets. Although polar vortices are characterized by a coherent region of high potential vorticity (PV) in the polar regions, the meridional variation of PV ranges from strong monopolar to annular distributions. …”

Dynamically Driven Evolution of Molecular Gas in the Barred Spiral Galaxy M83 Traced by CO J = 2–1/1–0 Line Ratio Variations by Jin Koda, Fumi Egusa, Akihiko Hirota, Amanda M Lee, Tsuyoshi Sawada, Fumiya Maeda

“…The R _21/10 map clearly evidences the systematic large-scale variations as a function of galactic structures. Azimuthally, it starts from low R _21/10 ≲ 0.7 in the interarm regions and becomes high ≳0.7 in the bar and spiral arms, suggesting that the density and/or kinetic temperature of molecular gas increase by about a factor of 2–3. …”
