Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear vibration and chaotic motion of the axially moving currentconducting thin plate under external harmonic force in magnetic field is studied. Improved multiplescale method is employed to derive ...

Abstract: Fluvial bed load transport is often considered to assume a capacity regime exclusively determined by local flow conditions, but its applicability in naturally occurring unsteady flows remains to be theoretically justified. ...

Abstract: Dredging is an important measure for maintaining sufficiently high water depths in waterways. However, previous dredging studies have rarely focused on modeling the transient effects of dredging activities on bed evolutions. ...

Abstract: Although the applicability of physically based noncapacity sediment transport models has received increasingly wide recognition, debate still exists: it was reported that for overtopping-induced dam-breaching flows, the ...

Abstract: Buffeting-induced vibration, which has a frequent occurrence and relatively large amplitude, may cause fatigue damage to the steel girder of long-span bridges. Buffeting is caused by random wind turbulence, and the turbulence ...

Abstract: Gravity currents play an important role in many aspects of natural processes and engineering practice. This paper presents a systematic lock-exchange experimental study to investigate the influence of linearly stratified ...

Abstract: PEM fuel cell nowadays is expensive for widespread commercialization, though it has obvious advantages, such as high efficiency, high power density, fast startup and high system robustness. As ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of inhomogeneous wind fields on the aerostatic stability of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, which straddles a typical mountain-gorge terrain. Inhomogeneous wind fields, with featured ...
