Abstract: Detailed phonon transport at Si/Ge interfaces is studied using the molecular dynamics wave-packet method. Three types of interfaces are investigated: A smooth interface, an interface with random ...

Abstract: In 1950, Wu [1] suggested that the three-dimensional inverse (design) problem of turbomachine flow may be solved approximately by a Taylor series expansion in the circumferential direction based ...

Abstract: To accurately calculate stress responses and evaluate fatigue damage of the critical structural members/joints of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, a multiscale finite-element (FE) model of the bridge has been developed by ...

Abstract: To investigate hydraulic features of the flooding flow on a staircase with a rest platform, experiments were conducted on a 1:2-scale physical model of a staircase with a middle rest platform between two stair segments. ...

Abstract: Serpentine nozzles have been used in stealth fighters to increase their survivability. For real turbofan aero-engines, the existence of the double ducts (bypass and core flow), the tail cone, the struts, the lobed mixers, ...

Abstract: Insufficient understanding of complex Arctic cloud properties introduced large errors in estimating radiant energy balance parameters at the regional and global scales. Comprehensive and reliable cloud information is ...
