Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”

A review of feature extraction methods in vibration-based condition monitoring and its application for degradation trend estimation of low-speed slew bearing by Caesarendra, Wahyu, Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh

“…This paper presents an empirical study of feature extraction methods for the application of low-speed slew bearing condition monitoring. The aim of the study is to find the proper features that represent the degradation condition of slew bearing rotating at very low speed (≈ 1 r/min) with naturally defect. …”

A Multi-satellite Perspective on “Hot Tower” Characteristics in the Equatorial Trough Zone by Pilewskie, J, Stephens, G, Takahashi, H, L’Ecuyer, T

“…Cloud vertical profiles from CloudSat and CALIPSO measurements supply convective core diameters and proxies for intensity and convective activity, and these proxies are augmented with brightness temperature data from geostationary satellite observations, precipitation information from IMERG, and cloud radiative properties from CERES. Less than 35% of all deep cores are classified as hot towers, and we estimate that 800–1700 hot towers occur at any given time over the course of a day, with the mean maximum core and hot tower frequency occurring at the time of year when peak convective intensity and precipitation occur. …”
