Abstract: The initial post-buckling behavior of thick rings under external uniform hydrostatic pressure is investigated. In the analysis, no assumptions are placed upon the relative magnitudes of the ...

Abstract: In this study, sediment transport is considered as a typical multiphase flow in numerical simulation using a particle-based method and efforts are focused on reducing interface instability between phases. A new multiphase ...

Abstract: This paper provides a quantitative comparison of a benchmarking dam-break case simulated by a particle method. The velocity comparison is usually absent in particle-method simulation, but both the water surface and velocity ...

Abstract: In this study, sediment transport is considered as a typical multiphase flow in numerical simulation using a particle-based method and efforts are focused on reducing interface instability between phases. A new multiphase ...

Abstract: For millimeter-scale microturbines, the principal challenge is to achieve a design scheme to meet the aerothermodynamics, geometry restriction, structural strength, and component functionality ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic performance, structural strength, and wheel weight are three important factors in the design process of the radial turbine. This paper presents an investigation on these aspects ...

Abstract: Regarding the corrosion law of a suspension bridge’s main cable steel wire under the status of holding force, a set of electrolytic-accelerated corrosion test devices with preload was designed. The electrolytic-accelerated ...

Abstract: Leachate, consisting of organic acids such as acetic acid (AA) and oxalic acid (OA), commonly is released into groundwater from municipal solid waste dumps and uncontrolled landfills. Slurry trench cutoff walls commonly ...

Abstract: This study investigated the hydraulic conductivity and microscopic properties of two backfills, conventional sand/bentonite (SB) and sand/xanthan gum (XG)-amended bentonite/sand (XG-SB), for use in vertical cutoff walls ...
