Abstract: Sustainable policy leads to partially replace fossil diesel by bio-fuels and ethanol/diesel blends. The major challenge is how to enhance miscibility of ethanol with diesel. Molecular dynamics simulation was applied to ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the nonlinear characteristics of varying compliance contact resonance in a rotor–bearing system and takes into consideration the Hertzian contact deformation and internal radial clearance. We created ...

Abstract: The varying compliance (VC) vibration directly reflects the oscillation intensity of a rolling bearing, and it can be fully revealed in the VC resonance. Moreover, we define the bearing vibration intensity as the bearing ...

Abstract: The potential benefits of applied radio-frequency identification (RFID)-aided systems have been studied by many construction research projects. After reviewing previous works, this paper presents a self-developed system ...
