Abstract: The current density distribution in a line-to-bump structure as a function of cross-sectional area ratio of the electrical conductor was investigated, as well as the effects of current crowding ...

Abstract: Over the past decade, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies around the world implemented building information modeling (BIM) to enhance their firms’ competitiveness and readjust their business processes. ...

Abstract: With high penetrations of variable generation from wind turbines in remote locations, transmission capacity may be inadequate to transfer this relatively inexpensive source of generation to demand centers. The major reason ...

Abstract: Friction and system models are fundamentally coupled. In fact, the success of models in predicting experimental results depends highly on the modeling of friction. This is true at the atomic ...

Abstract: Four events of distinctly low summer ice coverage in the Beaufort Sea, in 1998, 2008, 2012, and 2016, have been identified using satellite-observed concentration between 1979 and 2017. Previous studies have revealed that ...

Abstract: Although an investigation of factors influencing information communication technology (ICT) implementation in small- and medium-sized construction enterprises (SMCEs) has garnered significant attention, limited efforts ...
