Abstract: Ecological water was stolen by industrial and domestic water consumption in the Weihe River, which led to a disquieting decline in riverine ecologic functioning. Based on river regionalization and typical years of hydrologic ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm for generating tolerance chains from the mating relations between components of assemblies. The algorithm is developed upon a feature-based assembly modeling ...

Abstract: Response surface methods or metamodels are commonly used to approximate large computationally expensive engineering systems. Five response surface methods are studied: Stepwise Regression, Moving ...

Abstract: The excavation of multiple tunnels at shallow depths has become increasingly common. The tunnel spacings, arrangements, buried depths, and excavation sequences significantly affect the ground responses. In addition, rock ...

Abstract: The wetness fraction of steam causes dangerous erosion of turbine blades and other components, and decreases efficiency of stages. The instrumentation of wet steam has, therefore, attracted growing ...

Abstract: In this paper, an extensometer was specifically designed for online deformation monitoring of high temperature pipes and its applicability was verified experimentally. The design procedure and the ...
