Abstract: This paper describes the development of an efficient scaled boundary finite-element model (FEM) for the simulation of short-crested wave interaction with a concentric porous cylindrical structure. By weakening the governing ...

Abstract: A point cloud data set, a dense set of discrete coordinate points scanned or sampled from the surface of a 3D physical object or design model, is emerging as a new representation format for ...

Abstract: The problem of best matching two point cloud data sets or, mathematically, identifying the best rigid-body transformation matrix between them, arises in many application areas such as geometric ...

Abstract: As an inorganic–organic composite material, cement and emulsified asphalt (CA) mortar has been used widely in ballastless slab track structures, and its performance is influenced significantly by environmental conditions. ...

Abstract: To enable a water distribution system (WDS) model to yield predictions with a reasonably good match to measurements, pipe resistance coefficients (PRCs) of the model often need to be calibrated. The majority of methods ...
