Abstract: The effects of different types of earthen landfill covers and vapor on landfill gas emissions are not well understood. In this study, an existing theoretical model of water and multicomponent gas (methane, carbon dioxide, ...

Abstract: Consisting of stretchable and flexible cell walls or ligaments, soft elastic foams exhibit extremely high fracture toughness. Using the analogy between the cellular structure and the network structure of rubbery polymers, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the basic equations for a mathematical model of sediment-laden flow in a nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The equations were derived using a tensor analysis of two-phase flow and incorporate ...

Abstract: This paper presents a series of tests on the tensile, bending, welding, and threaded connection of 022Cr22Ni5Mo3N (2205) stainless steel bars. These tests prove whether the stainless steel bars have excellent mechanical ...

Abstract: An interspaced calculation model of a concrete box-girder with corrugated steel webs was built by sap2000, and the applicability of FEM was proved according to the comparison between the test value and FEM value of concrete ...

Abstract: To realize real–time and reliable transportation path planning for improving the efficiency of a traveler in a highway transportation network, this paper presents a fast traveler demand clustering algorithm based on simulated ...

Abstract: The attitude tracking form quaternion measurements for a three-axis stabilized liquid-filled spacecraft are studied under uncertain parametric and external disturbances. The sloshing liquid inside the partially filled ...

Abstract: Weak interlayers determine the strength and stability of a jointed rock mass. The influence of weak interlayer filling state on the shear strength and failure patterns of a rock mass was studied by direct shear testing. ...

Abstract: To investigate the laws of creep and shrinkage in high-strength, concrete for long-span prestressed continuous box-girder bridge and predict long-term deflection, strain sensors were embedded in the midspan of a box-girder ...

Abstract: Viscoelasticity plays an important role in the instability and performance of soft transducers. Wrinkling, an instability phenomenon commonly observed on soft materials, has been studied extensively. In this paper, we ...
