Abstract: By comparing the related total cost before and after the purchasing consortia formation, the impetus of formation is analyzed. Moreover, based on different transportation and storage policies, the formation impetus is ...

Abstract: A macroscopic global seismic damage model is proposed for reinforced concrete structures by considering the dynamic modal contributions. Modal damage is defined using the concepts of dynamic modal stiffness and modal mass. ...

Abstract: Multilayer materials have been widely used in engineering applications, attributed to excellent thermo-mechanical performances. However, the thermal or mechanical properties of multilayer materials remain elusive, owing ...

Abstract: Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is very important to guarantee the safety of manufacturing. Periodic impulsive fault features commonly appear in vibration measurements when local defects occur in the key components ...
