Abstract: Long-distance buried pipelines are one of the most common and economical transportation methods for oil and gas, but the fault movement will pose a threat to the safety of pipelines. The main challenge of pipeline under ...

Abstract: The plane-strain rolling problem was solved by the rigid-plastic finite-element method based on the infinitesimal theory of plastic deformation. Both nonsteady-state solutions and steady-state ...

Abstract: The microscale laser dynamic forming (LDF) process is a high strain rate microfabrication technique, which uses a pulse laser to generate high pressure by vaporizing and ionizing an ablative ...

Abstract: An improved method based on pseudostatic and limit-equilibrium analysis is proposed for evaluating seismic (static plus dynamic) active earth pressures induced by backfill behind movable rigid retaining walls. The proposed ...

Abstract: The main difficulty in running a rigid-plastic finite element program for metal forming analysis on a personal computer lies in the lengthy computation, typical of non-linear problems. To make ...

Abstract: A mathematical model has been presented for a high speed liquid jet penetration into soft solid by a needle-free injection system. The model consists of a cylindrical column formed by the ...

Abstract: Turbidity current is formed as subaerial open-channel sediment-laden flow plunges into a reservoir. The whole process of reservoir turbidity current, i.e., formation, propagation, and recession, is generally controlled by ...

Abstract: River ice–water mixture flows are commonly occurring natural phenomena that have the potential to cause serious hazards. To date, however, the interactive processes between ice and water have remained poorly understood. ...

Abstract: Calibration is a process of comparing model results with field data and making the appropriate adjustments so that both results agree. Calibration methods can involve formal optimization methods or manual methods in which ...
