Abstract: Designing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with varied thicknesses on surface of a turbine vane has practical significance. The present study focused on reducing the residual stress levels through optimally designing the ...

Abstract: A safety monitoring system is usually applied in deep excavations in order to control the construction risk and to ensure the serviceability of adjacent facilities. Considering the mass data collected by different sensors, ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of a pile group embedded in a layered poroelastic half-space subjected to axial harmonic loads is investigated in this study. Based on Biot’s theory, the frequency domain ...

Abstract: The cyclic liquefaction resistance of intact medium dense specimens of sands and silts obtained from offshore platform sites was compared to that of specimens reconstituted to the same values of shear wave velocity. The ...

Abstract: To reduce ground displacements induced by dewatering and excavation in foundation engineering, it is crucial to predict the ground displacements before construction. Two types of analyses, i.e., transient analysis (TA) and ...

Abstract: Rankine pressure involves the special case of active earth pressure and merely considers the influence of the internal friction angle; however, the analytical solution for the general case involving a rough retaining wall, ...

Abstract: The current analytical solutions for axisymmetric active earth pressure are based on certain hypothetical relationships between the circumferential stress, the average stress of the meridional plane, and the main shear ...
