Abstract: The passenger value is used to segment the intercity passenger transport market. According to its advantages or disadvantages in each submarket, highway passenger transport (referred to as “highway mode” hereafter) is ...

Abstract: Safety issue concerning “thermal runaway (TR) behavior” of lithiumion battery (LIB) is one of the core concerns for users. We have studied TR behaviors at various ambient pressures. The thermal runaway onset time (t1) ...

Abstract: Understanding the elastoplastic contact loading–unloading behavior between a sphere and a rigid plane is a problem in the field of contact mechanics. In this study, a bilinear strainhardening material model was used to ...

Abstract: Crumb-rubberized asphalt (CRA) binder has been widely used for several decades because it provides a nonhazardous disposal method for scrap tires and it improves some engineering properties of asphalt pavement. The energy ...

Abstract: Although crumb rubber (CR) modified bitumen has been widely used in bitumen pavement, the issue of storage stability has not been resolved. Waste low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a new modifier, has been introduced to ...

Abstract: The increasing interest in fine-grained blocks requires a deeper understanding of the impact of block size on urban vitality. To date, limited empirical tests of the underlying relationships at the city level have been ...
