Abstract: A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is proposed to obtain the numerical solution of nonlinear heat transfer problems. The moving least squares scheme is generalized to construct the ...

Abstract: Learning from online comments is essential for enhancing understanding and improving online housing reputation (OHR). However, two significant issues require attention. First, analyzing online comments for reputation ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional parametrized finite element model is established for the nonlinear analysis of the hydraulically expanded tube-to-tubesheet joint. Distribution of the residual contact pressure ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the interfacial behavior between glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) plate and cast-in-place (CIP) concrete placed against this plate—a method known as wet-bonding. The ...

Abstract: Using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid-reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC) for strengthening reinforced concrete columns and beams has been stirring structural research interest in recent years. The ...

Abstract: This study prepared a cement-based composite phase change material (CCPCM) that can be used as a filler for asphalt mixtures. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of CCPCM and its ...
