Abstract: Biocompatible polymeric material with well-defined, interconnected porous structure plays an important role in many biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, controlled drug release, ...

Abstract: A postbuckling analysis is presented for functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical panels resting on elastic foundations subjected to axial compression under heat conduction. Two kinds of micromechanics models, namely, ...

Abstract: We calculate the free surface shapes upstream and downstream of an obstacle obstructing a thin liquid layer on a moving surface, taking into account gravity and surface tension. We assume low ...

Abstract: In terms of the similarity between a road network and a circuit network, this paper demonstrates that Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws observed in the circuit can be employed in the traffic assignment of the road ...

Abstract: This paper develops an algorithm for real-time correction of stream flow concentration based on a Kalman filter to improve the performance of real-time forecasting of river discharge under circumstances in which the ...

Abstract: Entropy maximization approach has been widely used in transportation planning. It provides theoretical basis for a class of forecast models on traffic demand. In this paper, the concept of entropy from information theory ...

Abstract: The oscillatory behaviors of methane and hydrogen oxidation in a perfectly stirred reactor (PSR) are examined. The work explores the parameter spaces in which oscillatory combustion and ignition ...

Abstract: The Three Gorges Project along the Yangtze River in China, as one of the biggest hydropower-complex projects in the world, plays a significant role in the economic development of the area even of the whole nation. An ...
