Abstract: Given the advantages of variable specific impulse (VSI) engine, it is very likely that in the future there will be deep space missions that use this thrust as propulsion system. In this study, a design technique for a fuel ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) is very suitable for use as a prestressed cable and can replace conventional steel cables in cable roofs. In engineering practice, the anchoring length increases rapidly as the ...

Abstract: Elevated levels of bromide have been shown to contribute to increased formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Both produced water from unconventional oil and gas wells, which are hydraulically fractured using high ...

Abstract: A point-loading device was used to research the breakage characteristics of single particles and to study their crushing mechanism. A series of point-loading tests were completed on the basis of cement ellipsoid particles ...

Abstract: Stabilization of dredged sediment and reusing the mixture as a construction material is an effective way to reduce environmental problems and save natural resources. However, the crushing process that occurs during ...

Abstract: Semiflexible pavement (SFP) includes asphalt mixture skeleton, cement mortar, asphalt mortar, and residual voids. The heat conduction behaviors in the SFP become very complicated. To understand the heat conduction behaviors ...

Abstract: The dynamic weakening of rock is frequently observed when the rock is subjected to a series of repetitive impact loads. Sandstone is utilized in our experiment on the dynamic performance under impact loading. The split ...
