Abstract: Using the kinematic approach with automatic generation of independent mechanisms, an efficient procedure and an interactive microcomputer BASIC program have been developed for optimal plastic design of low‐rise frames of ...

Abstract: Some fundamental dynamic characteristics of a railway subjected to a harmonic or constant moving load are established and presented in this paper. The railway is modeled as an infinite or finite Timoshenko beam on viscoelastic ...

Abstract: Developing highly potent and environmentally friendly catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate reactive species has received considerable and increasing attention in the field of antibiotics elimination. ...

Abstract: Accurate forecasting is the key factor in promoting wind power consumption and improving the stable operation of power systems. A short-term wind power forecasting (WPF) and uncertainty analysis method based on whale ...

Abstract: The evolution of hinged joint structures in Chinese hinged hollow-slab bridges was summarized to study the mechanical performance of hinged joint structures in hinged hollow-slab bridges with gate-type steel bars. Parameter ...

Abstract: Quantification and analysis of field variability are important initial steps in delineating potential variable-rate irrigation (VRI) management zones within an agricultural field. This study seeks to utilize variability ...

Abstract: Using UDEC discrete-element method (DEM) and field monitoring method, the influence rules of slope height, slope angle, and excavation stage on the stress field, displacement field, and stability safety factor of high steep ...

Abstract: Tensions in the hangers of suspension bridges are vital for quality control during their construction and health monitoring and maintenance during service. Hence, accurate and efficient estimation of the tensions in hangers ...
