Abstract: The equation of motion of a small spherical particle moving in a fluid is solved numerically with the radius of the sphere and the ratio of fluid to particle densities being parameters. The ...

Abstract: This technical brief proposes a new modelbased estimation method for the vehicle sideslip angle, yaw rate, roll angle, and roll rate using unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Since a vehicle wheel could potentially lift off the ...

Abstract: The oxidation behavior of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy under laser irradiation in atmospheric and oxygen-assisted conditions was studied. A nanosecond-pulsed Yb: glass fiber laser was used. The thickness of oxide layer, ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) slope stability analysis is a present research interest for geotechnical engineering. This work established a new 3D limit equilibrium method (LEM) to solve 3D slope stability with general-shaped ...

Abstract: Compared with the three-dimensional (3D) simple slope, actual slopes often have irregular slope topography. The 3D convex and concave slopes are two important types of actual slopes. To analyze the stability of 3D convex ...

Abstract: Antislide micropiles can effectively reinforce slopes and improve their stability. To introduce the mechanical mechanisms of micropiles in slope stability analysis, this work adopted a reasonable failure mode for the ...

Abstract: In this study, a physically based two-source potential evapotranspiration (PE) model was developed to calculate the spatio-temporal variation of PE over the Hanzhong watershed in China. The calculated PE was then integrated ...

Abstract: The micro/nanotextured cemented carbide surface of different wettability was produced by laser scanning and fluorinated treatment. The tribological properties of the untextured, oleophobic and oleophilic micro/nanotextured ...
