Abstract: During the operation period, soils surrounding a cross-river tunnel are under persistent disturbance owing to heat conduction, resulting in a change in the microstructure and engineering properties. Long term observations ...

Abstract: Diagnosing the failure or predicting the performance state of low-speed and heavy-load slewing bearings is a practical and effective method to reduce unexpected stoppage or optimize the maintenances. Many literatures focus ...

Abstract: As critical components in industrial application scenarios, high-precision and high-confidence health assessment of rolling bearings attract more and more attention. Currently, predictive maintenance obtains outstanding ...

Abstract: Offshore renewable energy, derived from wind and waves, is increasingly being considered in many world regions. Co-location of offshore wind turbine and wave energy converter arrays allows the shared use of space and offers ...

Abstract: In an emerging “blue economy,” the use of large multi-purpose floating platforms in the open ocean is being considered. Such platforms could possibly support a diversified range of commercial activities including energy ...

Abstract: An offshore energy transition, even if only a gradual one, from carbon-emitting fossil fuel extraction to cleaner sources is recommended, if we are to slow the harmful impacts of climate change. The potential for sustainable ...
