Abstract: Because of significant characteristics such as complexity and uncertainty, the construction schedules of large-scale projects are often postponed as a result of a shortage of important equipment. By sharing its own incentive ...

Abstract: Mitigating collision is a fundamental issue in contact problems, and is required to ensure the safety of a robotic cell. Research into the contact problem between robots and their environment is divided into two parts: one ...

Abstract: Kerogen in oil shale plays a crucial part in the shale oil and gas generation. Here, photoconductive measurement was used to evaluate the decomposition process of Huadian oil shale. The photoconductivity of the semi-coke ...

Abstract: To develop a purely inorganic fire-retardant-modified asphalt, we selected highly fire-retardant materials that have low-carbon content, non-polluting properties, and are inexpensive as fire retarder of asphalt. The optimal ...

Abstract: A new shaft spillway composed of an inlet structure that includes inlet swirling-flow-generating piers, an annular weir, a vertical shaft, and an outlet structure is presented. Major factors influencing the inlet’s discharge ...

Abstract: Wave rotors exchange energy through the interaction of fluids with different pressures to produce a cooling effect without the application of mechanical parts, which makes them suitable for the complex flow field environments. ...
