Abstract: Water waves generated by landslides have been of interest to ocean and coastal engineers, as well as to dam engineers. The present study uses a meshless and pure Lagrangian method known as smoothed particle hydrodynamics ...

Abstract: Root causes of several recent crack failures in turbine units are attributed to oscillation and interaction between generator of turbine unit and devices on the grid, where torsional vibration of the rotor bearing system ...

Abstract: Accurate position sensing is important for state estimation and control in robotics. Reliable and accurate position sensors are usually expensive and difficult to customize. Incorporating them into systems that have very ...

Abstract: An untraditional application of the four-link RCCR (two revolute and two cylindric joints) mechanism is presented in this paper and is used as a novel biped walking mechanism. By taking advantage ...

Abstract: Crack failures continually occur in shafts of turbine generator, where grid disturbance is an important cause. To estimate influences of grid disturbance, coupled torsional vibration and fatigue damage of turbine generator ...

Abstract: In recent years, bowing of steam turbine rotor under long time service occurs in several highparameter units. Collected data show that the bending of the haywire rotor is increasing continuously, which results in excessive ...

Abstract: The linear theory of dual-porosity and dual-permeability poro-chemo-electro-elasticity is presented. The theory outlines the dual-continuum formulation of multiple coupled processes involving solid deformation, pore fluid ...

Abstract: Data-driven analysis and monitoring of complex dynamical systems have been gaining popularity due to various reasons like ubiquitous sensing and advanced computation capabilities. A key rationale is that such systems ...

Abstract: A novel application of the well-known single degree-of-freedom (DOF) Bricard mechanism is proposed in this paper. By optimizing the links’ shape and installing motors reasonably, we put forward a ground mobile Bricard ...

Abstract: The central rod-fastened rotor of gas turbine exhibits pronounced noncontinuous characteristics due to the large number of contact interfaces between the compressor and turbine disks. It is necessary to establish an accurate ...
