Abstract: In this paper we present a methodology and a rigorous solution formulation for multiple crack problems in nonhomogeneous plates using the dislocation complex potential technique. The fundamental perturbation problem is ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted at 37°C in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor treating wastewater containing phenol (200 mg/L),

Abstract: In order to study the deformation mechanisms during ultrahigh strain rate deformation of face centered cubic metals, laser shock peening of a 304L stainless steel is systematically investigated. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite-time adaptive fault-tolerant H∞ control method for a two-dimensional airfoil flutter with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Sensor and actuator faults are both considered. ...

Abstract: Increasing functionality demands more heat dissipation from the skin of handheld devices. The maximum amount of heat that can be dissipated passively, prescribed by the natural convection and ...

Abstract: The separation of waste printed circuit boards (WPCB) has been a bottleneck in WPCB resource processing. In this study, the separation of WPCBs was performed using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent by dissolving polymer ...

Abstract: The flexural capacity of a single micropile is small, and some additional materials need to be built into the steel pipe to increase the flexural and tensile capacity of the structure. This paper introduced a new type of ...
