Abstract: Phytoremediation is an ecotechnological remediation for treating contaminated sites. This phytotechnology uses plants to degrade, transform, assimilate, metabolize, or detoxify hazardous pollutants from soil and aquatic ...

Abstract: Water content is an important parameter for ensuring construction quality of a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dam. Due to large-scale and long construction duration of an RCC dam, continuous construction under rain is an ...

Abstract: To measure current stiffness and displacement stiffness of permanent magnet biased radial magnetic bearing, a new stiffness measurement method is proposed for magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW). The detailed stiffness ...

Abstract: The spherical joint with clearances can be modeled as an axi-symmetric quasi-static contact of a sphere in a cavity. The Hertz theory based on the assumption of nonconformal contact is often ...

Abstract: This work involved an uncertainty analysis of a case study of a bridge in the Wenzhou area of China. A pile–slab composite foundation was used to mitigate the bump at the end of the bridge. The uncertainty analysis was ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional model of anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) was developed. The output performance, temperature distribution, and concentration distribution of a SOFC stack were studied when the pitch ...

Abstract: Generally, low-mobility individuals, those with less access to transportation options and who are often marginalized in the social environment, can be divided into three groups: older adults, low-income individuals, and ...

Abstract: A cabledriven redundant manipulator (CDRM) composed of quaternion joints has important applications in confined space, including minimal invasive surgery, aircraft parts assembly, environment exploring, and so on. Benefitting ...

Abstract: Industrial robots have become a suitable alternative to machine tools due to their flexibility, low cost, and large working space. However, the compliance of the robot system makes it prone to produce large deformations ...

Abstract: The maximum interface sheer stress and crack density can be used as criteria for the interfacial bonding property and fracture performance, respectively. In this paper, interface stress and crack density as a function of ...
