Abstract: This paper presents a systematic function recommendation process (FRP) to recommend new functions to an existing product and service. Function plays a vital role in mapping user needs to design parameters (DPs) under ...

Abstract: Guided wave technology shows excellent capacity in the damage identification of the pipeline. In practical inspection, the detection ability is greatly reduced due to the interference echo signal from the feature structure ...

Abstract: Swelling rocks and soils can generate significant swell or swelling pressure upon contact with water due to their special mineralogical composition, and thus a reliable determination of their swelling property is essential ...

Abstract: Unlike the hydrodynamic model used in the current popular numerical simulation of buried gas pipeline leakage, this paper adopts the Darcy equation of underground seepage, mass balance equation, and equation of state of ...
