Abstract: This article experimentally studies the thermal performance of latent heat storage in a two-phase thermosyphon solar water heater, which utilizes the superior heat transfer characteristics of ...

Abstract: This paper simulates fracture in notched mortar beams under three-point bending using an extended finite-element method (XFEM) and peridynamics. A three-phase microstructure (i.e., cement paste, aggregates, and ...

Abstract: An investigation of rock fracture characteristics subjected to the true triaxial intermediate principal stress is crucial for understanding the failure mechanism of surrounding rock in an actual underground engineering ...
