Abstract: The CL90 mortar (i.e., the nonhydraulic lime mortar) is dramatically more water retaining than any of the hydraulic mortars. This paper investigates the possible role of simple ionic solutions used as mix water on the water ...

Abstract: In the last few decades, power-split infinitely variable transmission (IVT) systems have attracted considerable attention as they ensure high driving comfort with high total efficiencies, especially in off-highway vehicles ...

Abstract: An improved regular lattice network model is developed and validated for fracture of concrete structures. The improvements pertain to the inclusion of the tension softening response of the matrix phase, and of the modelling ...

Abstract: The continuity of urban activities is provided by a well-oriented transportation network, making sustainable transportation systems a prominent component of sustainable urban development. Moreover, urban public areas involve ...

Abstract: In this paper, we used improved (G'/G)expansion method to reach the solutions for some nonlinear timefractional partial differential equations (fPDE). The fPDE is reduced to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) by means ...

Abstract: In this work, Lie symmetry analysis for the time fractional third-order evolution (TOE) equation with Riemann–Liouville (RL) derivative is analyzed. We transform the time fractional TOE equation to nonlinear ordinary ...

Abstract: The redox flow battery is getting intense attention these days as one of the most promising systems to store energy generated from weather-dependent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energies. In this research, ...

Abstract: In this experimental study, flow boiling in mini/microtubes was investigated with surface enhancements provided by crosslinked polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (pHEMA) coatings, which were used as a crosslinker coating type ...
