Abstract: The dynamic performance prediction of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is a challenging task, as the existing theories might not be fully reliable for FOWTs due to the high nonlinearities and coupling effects. The ...

Abstract: This is one of a series of investigations on the effect of a spherical cavity in a solid of revolution when the solid is acted on by a given stress system symmetrical to the axis of ...

Abstract: Spill fire is a typical fire type that endangers industrial safety. This work systematically investigates the burning characteristics of transformer oil spill fire under different fuel leakage rates and substrate tilt ...

Abstract: In this inquiry, we delve into the manner by which disparate orifice configurations exert influence upon the elevation of the jet flame when subjected to an external conflagration, employing empirical simulations. Elaborating ...

Abstract: The transformer is the key oil-filled equipment in the power system, and its fire behavior seriously affects the safe operation of the power grid. In this article, to analyze the fire development process and combustion ...

Abstract: Floating bridges face potential hazards due to ship collisions throughout their operational lifetime. In a situation where a pontoon is significantly damaged from an accident, a floating drydock may be used to compensate ...

Abstract: The problem of reliable control for T-S fuzzy time-delayed systems is investigated in this paper. A more practical and general actuator-fault-model is proposed by assuming that actuators fault ...

Abstract: Self-healing properties of concrete mean that concrete can repair cracks and effectively slow down the penetration of chloride ions. This work develops a chloride ion transport mesoscale model to study how chloride ions ...

Abstract: Mechanism with few degrees-of-freedom is an economical solution for rehabilitation robots because it does not need a complicated structure and control system. To provide motion data to design the robot with few degrees-of-freedom, ...

Abstract: Compared to manual therapy, robot therapy can provide more intensive and accurate rehabilitation training. However, most current devices are built on bulky and complex multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) mechanisms. Recently, ...
