Abstract

Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) has been applied to many large deformation problems. RKPM relies on polynomial reproducing conditions to yield desired accuracy and convergence properties, but requires appropriate kernel support coverage of neighboring particles to ensure [...]

Abstract

Decadal variations of extreme tropical cyclones (TCs) influencing China were investigated based on the tracks, landfall information, precipitation and wind data during 1949–2009. The extreme landfall date events are less in the 1970s and 2000s. The number of extreme events of maximum [...]
