Abstract: In this study, a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) were employed to characterize the rheological properties of asphalt modified with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and containing different mineral ...

Abstract: Accurate real-time displacement field reconstruction based on limited measurement points is crucial for spacecraft on-orbit monitoring. This study proposes a data-driven displacement field reconstruction method called ...

Abstract: A novel two-mode propulsion system based on detonation combustion, known as a detonation turbine based combined cycle engine (DTBCC), was proposed and thermodynamically analyzed for potential ...

Abstract: The difference between hot-mix asphalt (HMA) containing recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) and virgin HMA in terms of composition and properties causes difficulties when engineers try to predict the performance of HMA containing ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite frames are the ideal main support structure in civil and aerospace engineering applications because of their excellent material and structural properties for high stiffness ratio, ...

Abstract: The monotonic behavior of pond ash was studied experimentally and with a particular focus on evaluating the applicability of critical state soil mechanics framework in synthesizing and modeling the observed mechanical ...

Abstract: To reduce the ineffective evaporation of plain reservoirs in inland arid areas and improve the effective utilization of reservoirs, this work uses floating plates and floating balls as the main covering materials to reduce ...
