Abstract: AbstractInterdecadal oceanic variabilities can be generated from both internal and external processes, and these variabilities can significantly modulate climate on global and regional scales, including the warming slowdown ...

Abstract: Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is widely applied in the construction industry. Numerical elastoplastic analysis of the macroscopic behavior is complex. This typically involves a piecewise linear failure curve ...

Abstract: To understand the effect of an air injector on airlift performance, an experimental study of the influence of air exit-port arrangement on the mass flow rate of solids and lifting efficiency was performed. An airlift with ...

Abstract: With simple structure, excellent reliability, low cost, no restriction at depth of water, and easy control and operation, airlift pumps have special advantage in borehole hydraulic jet mining, ...

Abstract: The design of a gradient structural concrete component was investigated to improve the durability of concrete structures under harsh environments. On the basis of the theory of functionally graded materials with high crack ...
