Abstract: Vehicle collision is an important reason for failing urban or highway bridges. However, few works have focused on the probability of damage to a bridge under such extreme loads. In this work, an impact-fragility analysis ...

Abstract: Up to date, few studies on the dynamic characteristics analysis and model updating of large-size ultrahigh-voltage (UHV) transmission towers with long cross arms have been conducted due to the lack of onsite measurement ...

Abstract: The influence of elements in steel on anode plasma electrolytic boriding has been studied. The modified layers and surfaces on steel samples were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer, a surface ...

Abstract: A rapid Bayesian Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method for operational modal analysis (OMA) is proposed. This novel approach assumes a conservative system, treating parameter identification as sampling along the gradient ...

Abstract: The flow compression process design is critical for enhancing the efficiency and overall performance of hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. Many studies have sought to solve the challenging problems that inlet design ...
