Abstract: Laser machining efficiency and quality are closely related to gas pressure, nozzle geometry, and standoff distance. Modeling studies of laser machining rarely incorporate gas effects in part ...

Abstract: Energy consumption in data centers is growing rapidly due to their increasing numbers, scales, and densities. Coordinated operation of the information devices and cooling system is an effective way to lower the energy cost ...

Abstract: To adapt to the high temperatures in the summer and resist the shrinkage effect caused by high-temperature differences, this study developed an asphalt material with excellent high-temperature stability and applied it to ...

Abstract: In a wind farm, the wind data of the anemometers are used to evaluate the local wind resource. The position of the anemometer in a wind farm influences the wind resource evaluation significantly. In this paper, the position ...

Abstract: A mathematical model has been presented for a high speed liquid jet penetration into soft solid by a needle-free injection system. The model consists of a cylindrical column formed by the ...

Abstract: This research focuses on a long-standing problem at construction sites: on-site information retrieval. A wearable device, therefore, has been developed that can project the construction drawings and related information on ...

Abstract: Given that decision making for highway infrastructure development is highly complex, it is highly desirable to access expertise and tools, such as information about the environmental and social cost components of highway ...

Abstract: The coincidence of floods on a mainstem and its tributaries may cause significant flood damage downstream of the confluence. In this study, the coincidence risks of annual maximum (AM) floods on Jinsha River and Min River, ...
