Abstract: In order to identify coherent structure of turbulent shear flow, a new combination of familiar techniques of signal processing, called wavelet correlation analysis, is developed based on the ...

Abstract: This paper examines experimentally the decay of swirl, the average dynamic, static and total pressures and the wall pressure in a pipeline 13 m in length and with an inside diameter of 80 ...

Abstract: A swirling flow is adopted for a vertical pneumatic conveying system to reduce conveying velocity, pipe wear, and particle degradation. An experimental study has addressed the characteristics of ...

Abstract: In order to reduce power consumption, pipe wear and particle degradation in pneumatic conveying system, a swirling flow pneumatic conveying (SFPC) system is proposed in this paper, and an ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are widely used in earthquake regions, and damage to these structures has been reported after many earthquakes. Small parts of seriously damaged RC frames should be demolished and ...

Abstract: Over the past 30 years, land development and consumption have been out of control and have kept expanding blindly, especially to marginal areas of some metropolises in China. The conflict caused by urban sprawl among ...

Abstract: This paper attempts to develop a reduction-based model updating technique for jacket offshore platform structure. A reduced model is used instead of the direct finite-element model of the real structure in order to circumvent ...

Abstract: The multitemporal digital elevation model (DEM) of slopes constructed from three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data (PCD), which is obtained by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), can realize the real-time monitoring and ...

Abstract: Permanent deformation and cracking of asphalt mixtures are common distresses of pavement structures. These two damage processes are usually coupled and occur simultaneously. The evolution speed of each process across the ...
