Abstract: This paper examines the consistency between surface wave dispersion curves measured at wavelengths of up to 600 m using active and passive methods at sites in the Mississippi Embayment. Large-diameter (200 m) circular ...

Abstract: A simulation method in which grooves are virtually distributed on the slider air bearing instead of on the grooved medium surface has been developed and used to investigate the performance of ...

Abstract: Perturbation and modal-analysis methods were employed to systematically study a damped slider’s dynamic characteristics, including an air-bearing slider’s stiffness, damping coefficient, frequency ...

Abstract: Owing to the lack of research for evaluating the effect of the aggregate profile on the chloride diffusivity of concrete, this paper presents a numerical scheme for predicting the chloride diffusivity of concrete with ...

Abstract: Firstly, the suitable forming method of graphite ring was screened according to compression deformation test, considering the characteristics of radial clearance seal. Then, the compression resilience, radial contact stress ...

Abstract: Low-NOx combustion with deep air staging technology is commonly adopted to reduce NOx emissions in coal-fired power plants. However, introducing deep air staging results in a strong-reducing atmosphere, which may cause ...
