Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of concrete-filled high-strength steel tubular X joints. The high-strength steel tubes were cold formed into square and rectangular hollow sections with nominal .2% proof ...

Abstract: Kinetostatic and dynamic analyses of compliant mechanisms with complex configurations continue to be an attractive issue for obtaining a process-concise and result-accurate solution. In this paper, the transfer matrix ...

Abstract: A lumbar spine statistical shape model (SSM) was developed to explain morphological differences in a population with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Computed tomography (CT) was used to collect data on the lumbar ...

Abstract: In level-set-based topology optimization methods, the spatial gradients of the level set field need to be controlled to avoid excessive flatness or steepness at the structural interfaces. One of the most commonly utilized ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for topology optimization of large-deflection compliant mechanisms with multiple inputs and outputs by considering the coupling issue. First, the objectives of the design problem are posed by ...

Abstract: Low temperature anti-cracking performance of hot-recycled asphalt mixture was studied, and the influences of different recycling technologies were analyzed (including proportion, pre-heating in mixing processing, time of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for topology optimization of large-deflection compliant mechanisms with multiple inputs and outputs by considering the coupling issue. First, the objectives of the design problem are posed by ...

Abstract: The project entitled “Investigation of Asphalt Pavement Quality Control through Construction Process Control” is one of the projects initiated by the Ministry of Communications under the China’s Western Regions Development ...
