Abstract: A method based on the medial axis transform (MAT) theory is presented to explore the laws of meridional profiles versus specific speeds for centrifugal pumps. Through extracting each pump’s MAT ...

Abstract: A novel method of designing hub and shroud contours is presented. The method, based on the medial axis transform theory in differential geometry, gives a uniform description of hub and shroud ...

Abstract: Damping properties have important effects on the dynamic behavior of civil engineering structures. However, the influence of load on the material damping of concrete has not been studied systematically. This paper used an ...

Abstract: The complexity of addressing long-time series data and data noise and outliers, overcoming the difficulties of cross-domain knowledge migration, and adapting to dynamic environmental factors are significant challenges in ...

Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that elevated temperatures exert a significant influence on the structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, the residual shear performance of the RC beam under ...

Abstract: Hot in-place recycling (HIR) technology provides an efficient approach to utilizing reclaimed asphalt pavement, with the main challenge being effective recycling of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt (SBSMA). ...

Abstract: In the serpentine passage of actual rotor blades, the coolant at the inlet of the film hole has an internal crossflow. The internal crossflow significantly influences the film cooling effectiveness of multi-row film holes. ...
