Abstract: Backbone curves constructed from experimentally derived hysteresis envelopes are often used to evaluate the force-deformation behavior and, thus, seismic residual collapse capacity of structural components under cyclic ...

Abstract: The combination of heat transport and heat-work conversion processes in thermal systems highlights the importance of the integrated modeling and optimization method. Following the analogy between power flow and heat transfer, ...

Abstract: Alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding process is proven to be vitally effective for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in the oil industry. However, foaming behavior is generated by the breakthrough of chemical agents in the ...
