Abstract: The skeleton structure has a strong influence on the uncured and cured performances of the epoxy asphalt mixture. Based on the Bailey method, the different skeletal structures of the mixture have been obtained by varying ...

Abstract: This study aims to make approximate motion generation that has multiple solutions to facilitate the selection of the best mechanism parameters. Therefore, an approximate synthesis method for an epicyclic gear train (EGT) ...

Abstract: Bentonite grouting is utilized widely in geotechnical engineering to stabilize the excavation and prevent seepage in sandy soils. However, the infiltration behavior of bentonite slurry in sandy soil is not well understood, ...

Abstract: Clogging represents a crucial factor severely hindering the vacuum preloading treatment for clayey sludge. However, the underlying mechanism of this occurrence remains insufficiently investigated, limiting the application ...

Abstract: The use of prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) with combined surcharge and vacuum preloading is an effective improvement approach for dredged clayey slurries. However, there is no large-strain analysis method for ...

Abstract: The joint of the upper limb rehabilitation robot, which is designed and built in our lab, is driven by pneumatic muscles (PMs) in an opposing pair configuration. Each PM drives the robotic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a profound solution for a novel method of dewatering dredged sludge using a combined geotextile tube and vacuum-assisted prefabricated horizontal drains. Firstly, an analytical model was proposed to ...

Abstract: Recently, permeable geotextile tubes in conjunction with prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) have become increasingly popular for dewatering high water content slurries or sludge. However, how to analyze the consolidation ...
