Abstract: This paper uses the transfer matrix method (TMM) to analyze the interfacial behavior of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–plated beam with flexural cracks. The adhesive layer between the beam and the FRP sheet is simulated ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the fully coupled response characteristics of a multilayered composite plate with piezoelectric layers. The response quantities of the plate are coupled by the mechanical field and the electric field. ...

Abstract: This paper aims to overcome the drawbacks of current business valuation models. The authors have developed a novel model, a growth value model, by employing the income-asset-hybrid-based approach and with the application ...

Abstract: The work is aimed to investigate the mechanical responses of bare dies of the combination of pure tin∕Al–NiV–Cu Under bump metallization (UBM) and packages of pure tin∕Al–NiV–Cu UBM/substrate ...

Abstract: This paper reinvestigates the classic problem of the dispersion relations of a cylindrical shell by obtaining a complete set of analytical solutions, based on Flügge’s theory, for all orders ...

Abstract: The net, long-term transport of materials in estuaries is governed primarily by the residual (or tidally averaged) circulation in the system. Knowledge of the residual circulation is essential for predicting the transport ...

Abstract: The effects of mangrove trees on the flow field in a tidal estuary during high freshwater discharge events are investigated using a depth-averaged two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The model is refined to include the ...

Abstract: Piston theory is widely used in modeling unsteady aerodynamic force caused by surface vibration. The nonlinearity of piston theory is determined by its high-order terms, which are significantly influenced by different ...

Abstract: A flood routing model with time-varying roughness updating was developed to simulate flows through natural channels based on the dynamic wave theory. Taking observed stages as the targets, a roughness updating technique ...

Abstract: The concept of a high-speed passenger traffic location line is proposed by analyzing intercity rail traffic location and network evolution characteristics to improve the effectiveness of intercity rail transit network ...
