Abstract: This paper deals with the stabilization criteria for a class of time-varying delay systems with saturating actuator. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional combining with linear matrix ...

Abstract: Little research has been reported for the out-plane elastic-plastic buckling strength of high-strength steel (HSS) arches and no adequate code provisions are available for their strength design, despite HSS structures being ...

Abstract: Micro- and nanostructured ceramic materials have received increasing attention in light of the attainable mechanical properties of the resulting components, parts, and products. Stirred ball mill ...

Abstract: In order to evaluate the reliability of the deck system of concrete bridge reasonably, multi-index multilevel reliability assessment model of the bridge deck system was set up based on the extension assessment method ...

Abstract: This paper develops an analytical model to simulate the gear mesh contact for a spur gear pair with and without tooth damage. Three common gear tooth faults are simulated including pitting, ...

Abstract: One of the limitations of using the pump-as-turbine (PAT) technique is its relatively narrow high-efficiency operating range. When the system pressure head or flow rate decreases, trimming the impeller or replacing the ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory tests including flow consistency, viscosity, one-dimensional compression, and permeability were conducted on the fiber-reinforced cemented waste slurries obtained from a construction site to evaluate ...

Abstract: Using UDEC discrete-element method (DEM) and field monitoring method, the influence rules of slope height, slope angle, and excavation stage on the stress field, displacement field, and stability safety factor of high steep ...

Abstract: The track geometry condition of a kilometer-level high-speed railway (HSR) bridge can have a significant impact on the ride quality of high-speed trains. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of static and dynamic ...
