Abstract: One new kind of gas injection devices (GIDs), with movingcoil electromagnetic linear actuator (MCELA) and mushroomtype poppet valve, was projected to inject sufficient compressed natural gas (CNG) to a largebore port fuel ...

Abstract: Adding lanes is a common method to increase the capacity at intersections. The additional turning lanes are often limited by the road configuration. The paper presents a probabilistic model to calculate the total capacity ...

Abstract: Flooding and the resultant scour damage to bridges may lead to immense economic losses and significant social and environmental impacts. Currently, bridge management decisions are developed on a bridge-by-bridge basis to ...

Abstract: Free-piston engine generator is a novel energy conversion system, which is known to have advantages of variable compression ratio and variable fuel. The free-piston must be controlled to overcome challenges like misfire, ...

Abstract: This paper considers homing guidance for a vehicle with a single omnidirectional receiver traveling to a stationary, omnidirectional transmitting beacon by using spatially quantized signal strength measurements. Two homing ...

Abstract: The asphalt mixture, AC - 13 C, is aged in an oven for five different periods, and then, stress relaxation tests are conducted at

Abstract: Two waste biomass materials, pine needle (PN) and corn stalk (CS), were pyrolyzed at different temperatures (200–900 °C). The organic functional groups and carbonaceous structure of the biomass chars were characterized by ...
