A 300 hp motor and generator testing facility is being completed at Oregon State University. The testing center is the largest independent testing facility west of the Mississippi River. This regional resource center will incorporate state-of-the-art features that set it apart from other testing facilities. An induction machine with a...
Biological, optical, and hydrographical data were collected on the WEC88 cruise along 150°W and during a 6-day time series station on the equator during February/March 1988. This area was characterized by a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM), located at 50–70 m depth at the equator and descending down to 120–125 m...
A previously developed, three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element (FE) joint model and several two-dimensional
(2-D), beam-element based FE models with different joint-stiffness assumptions (pinned, rigid, and semi-rigid) were used
to analyze the full-scale behavior of a metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood scissors truss. The truss displacement and
force results were investigated for sensitivity with...
