Abstract: Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is an efficient and clean conversion of biomass due to the unique chemical and physical properties. Anthracene and furfural are the key intermediates in SCWG, and their microscopic ...

Abstract: This paper studies natural frequencies and mode shapes of a glide head with a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) through calibrated experiments and a finite element analysis. In the experiments, the ...

Abstract: This study focuses on developing a new method to remove uranium from aqueous solution. Chitosan and ferrous ions were used together to remove uranium ions from aqueous solution. Through two-step ...

Abstract: Sensitivity analysis of transient response plays a crucial role in structural dynamics optimization. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis method for calculating the first-order derivatives of the nonlinear transient ...

Abstract: Data-driven fault diagnosis method is widely used in the field of engine health management, which uses engine sensor data as input and engine faulty components as output for component-level fault diagnosis of the engine. ...

Abstract: This paper studies forced response of PZT glide heads through calibrated experiments and finite element analyses. The PZT glide heads consist of an Al2O3TiC slider and a PZT transducer. In the ...

Abstract: Creep is an important damage mode of components at elevated temperatures, and the temperature and time-dependent stress intensity limit St is an essential indicator in creep assessment of components. In general, the safety ...
