Evaluation of the WRF-Chem performance for the air pollutants over the United Arab Emirates by Y. Yarragunta, D. Francis, R. Fonseca, N. Nelli

“…The assessment of WRF-Chem performance involves comparisons with ground-based observations for meteorological parameters and satellite retrievals from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) for gaseous pollutants and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for aerosols. The comparison with TROPOMI column concentrations demonstrates that WRF-Chem performs well in simulating the spatio-temporal patterns of total column CO and tropospheric column NO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> and O<span class="inline-formula">₃</span>, despite certain deficiencies in modelling tropospheric NO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> column concentrations. …”

Crack of a helicopter main rotor actuator attachment: failure analysis and lessons learned by L. Allegrucci, F. De Paolis, A. Coletta, M. Bernabei

“…This arrangement is due to an overheating (more than 507°C) or to a cooling process carried out too slowly.Microstructural analysis was carried out on three items: 1) a large portion of the broken actuator attachment; 2) on a servoactuator coming from the same production batch; 3) on a servo actuator coming from a different production batch.The microstructure from the broken actuator attachment showed a great amount of precipitates (second phases) lengthwise aligned to the boundary grain, pores, and also cavities and dendritic globular formations.Analysis results, morphology evidences and reference images available on scientific literature were found to be in excellent agreement and validated the embrittlement and subsequent SCC mechanism hypotesis (intergranular failure propagation). …”
