Closed-loop blow forming: direct reuse of trimming scrap for new component manufacture

Abstract In this work, the direct reuse of scrap from the addendum region of previously blow-formed aluminium sheets to manufacture smaller components through a secondary forming step was studied. Numerical simulations and experimental tests were conducted to assess the feasibili...

Measuring Ocean Surface Waves

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

Volcano–climate interactions: reframing the volcano–climate puzzle

Explosive volcanic eruptions are major natural perturbations of the Earth system. By increasing stratospheric aerosol loading, they exert a dual radiative forcing: enhanced scattering of incoming solar radiation induces global surface cooling, while absorption of terrestrial radi...
