Abstract: A pulsatile flow in vitro model of the distal end-to-side anastomosis of an arterial bypass graft was used to examine the effects that different flow ratios between the proximal outlet segment ...

Abstract: Polymer-modified fast-hardening cement mortar is widely used as road repair material due to its excellent performance attributes of shorter setting time and good workability as well as high adhesive strength. However, in ...

Abstract: Design-build (DB) is regarded as an effective means of delivering high performance green buildings, and the selection of DB contractors is of critical importance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the selection ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to find an effective way for in vivo measurement of joint motion and give the normal knee motion according to this method. The joint model proposed by Grood ...

Abstract: Deep-buried structures are frequently and inevitably subjected to aperiodic perturbation during their life circle, resulting in damage to the rock mass surrounding the structures under the coupled action of excavation-induced ...

Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates the influence of saturation on dynamic behaviors of concrete under both tension and compression stress states. Two grades of concrete were saturated to 0%, 50%, and 100% by oven drying ...

Abstract: This study investigates the application of microbeads as an innovative encapsulation technique to protect electronic components from harsh mechanical strain. Traditional encapsulation methods using hard epoxy provide ...
