Abstract: A new parabolic equation is derived from the mild-slope equation. It is used as the governing equation for the propagation of periodic surface water waves without wave reflection. For the problem of forward wave propagation, ...

Abstract: The Boussinesq equations are often used to simulate irregular nonlinear wave propagation in finite water depth. The mild slope equation is also frequently used for modeling regular linear wave propagation as there is no ...

Abstract: Recent studies have indicated that low-slope bedrock reaches are more common in nature (the bedrock surface slope is slightly lower than 0.005). This paper focuses on the hydrodynamic structure and turbulent characteristics ...

Abstract: This paper presents a fast evaluation procedure for high-cycle fatigue (HCF) under multiaxial random loading. The recent multiaxial cycle counting method of Wang and Brown is used to identify ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model based on the complete Navier-Stokes equations is developed and presented in this paper. The model can be used for the problem of propagation of fully nonlinear water waves. The Navier-Stokes ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) were initially proposed for bridge substructures in corrosive environments in the early 1990s. Systematic studies have since demonstrated the feasibility and ...

Abstract: Microcapsule technology is a promising approach for enhancing the self-healing ability of asphalt pavements. In this study, the self-healing behavior of melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) microcapsules was investigated. The ...

Abstract: The dynamic deformation behavior of ultrasoft soil foundations is one of the major concerns in the field of geotechnical engineering. In this study, a series of cyclic triaxial tests with different vibration frequencies, ...

Abstract: An equal polygon opposing jet can withstand huge wave drag and serious aerodynamic heating in hypersonic flow conditions. The opposing jet is able to change the flow field structure, and then it improves the aerodynamic ...
