Abstract: In this paper, a non-Fourier model of heat conduction and moisture diffusion coupling is proposed. We study a hygrothermal elastic problem within the framework of time-fractional calculus theory for a centrally symmetric ...

Abstract: The flow characteristics inside urban street canyons were studied in a laboratory water channel. The approaching flow direction was horizontal and perpendicular to the street axis. The street width was adjusted to form ...

Abstract: Modeling approaches to fully capture the behavior of fiber-reinforced clay remain lacking, although the beneficial role of discrete short fibers in reinforcing soils is an established concept. This lack results from ...

Abstract: In view of the problems such as a plurality of dominant water flow channels formed by flushing the reservoir and inferior development effect in the water injection oilfields, reconstructing the current well pattern and ...

Abstract: In the narrow and irregular environment of the ruins, the existing rescue robots are struggling to achieve their performance. Inspired by the process of termite predation by giant anteaters, we propose a soft rescue robot ...
