Abstract: The meteorological events surrounding the heavy rains of 23?25 June 1983 in the Yangtze River Valley of China are investigated. The rains developed along a persistent quasi-stationary frontal boundary that separated warm, ...

Abstract: Wall-attached vortices in pump intake commonly appear and damage the stability of the whole pump station. Revealing the effects of these vortices on the pump performance is crucial for safe operation. In this paper, ...

Abstract: Free vibrations of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) are studied. The inner and outer carbon nanotubes are modeled as two individual elastic beams interacting each other by van der Waals ...

Abstract: The polyethylene terephthalate/carbon black (PET/CB) composite was fabricated by twin-screw extrusion and injection molding method. The morphology, electrical conductive percolation threshold, tensile piezoresistivity, and ...

Abstract: A crucial part of any recommendation system for manufactured goods is the method used to evaluate the similarity of products. However, despite being central to the performance of many online retailers, current ways of ...

Abstract: The interconnection and interworking, a process of data interaction among different levels in manufacturing enterprises, are the core of realizing intelligent manufacturing. This paper focuses on the modeling of the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes damage index–based limit-state criteria for seismic design of midrise cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings instead of the drift-based ones, and the Park-Ang damage model was used to calculate the damage ...
