Abstract: Thermally activated energy, which varies linearly with static recovered strain, is calculated from static recovery experiments of pure aluminum initially plastically deformed by strainratecontrolled tensile tests up to 10% ...

Abstract: Temperatures in the walls and roofs of an experimental shed were measured. An “average” mathematical model was established for the determination of heat flow through wall and roof elements with different surface finishes. ...

Abstract: Interlocking over cracked surfaces is one of the primary sources of the shear force–resisting mechanism of general reinforced concrete structures. From the interlocking, shear stress develops in a substantially complex way ...

Abstract: Thermal loadings acting on highway bridges are treated as random variables. Values of such loadings for a 50‐year return period are determined based on an analysis of the statistics of extremes. A one‐dimensional heat‐flow ...

Abstract: his study reveals the dynamics behind the intensified, downslope, cross-isobath transport over a widened shelf (narrowing downwave) in the northeastern South China Sea (NSCS) during a downwelling event. Utilizing a ...

Abstract: Nuclear power is investigated for its use in space travel beyond Mars' orbit. Considered from the aspects of economy and safety, two kinds of spacecraft are compared: radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG)-powered and ...

Abstract: This study investigates the dispersive properties of ridge waves that travel circumferentially around piezoelectric circular ridge waveguides and investigates their resonant modes. Based on the variable separation method ...

Abstract: Origami is the art of creating a three-dimensional (3D) shape by folding paper. It has drawn much attention from researchers, and the designs that origami has inspired are used in various engineering applications. Most of ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a motion-planning method for a high-performance anti-swing control of overhead cranes, where the motion-planning problem is solved as a kinematic problem. First, an anti-swing ...
