Abstract: One-dimensional stress wave theory is widely used to analyze quantitatively the reflections in low-strain integrity testing of piles. However, a point or disk loading produces body and Rayleigh waves near the pile top. The ...

Abstract: Ambient oxygen concentration, a key variable directly related to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) levels in diesel engines, plays a significant role in particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (

Abstract: This paper investigates rockfalls, focusing on their interaction with bridge piers through physical experiments and numerical simulations. It analyzes the instability and breakage of fissured rock masses, often triggered ...

Abstract: Atherosclerotic plaques are distributed differently in the aortic arches of C57BL/6 (B6) and 129/SvEv (129) apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice. It is now recognized that hemodynamic wall shear ...
