Abstract: Vertical effects significantly affect the design and static analysis of large cable-stayed bridges. In the design of large cable-stayed bridges, the impact of cable sag must be considered. Generally, the Ernst equation is ...

Abstract: This study proposes a Gaussian-discretization control vector parametrization (CVP) algorithm to improve the reentry trajectory optimization accuracy of a hypersonic vehicle (HV) with a complex path and terminal state ...

Abstract: This study examines global patterns of net ocean surface heat flux changes (ΔQnet) under greenhouse warming in an ocean–atmosphere coupled model based on a heat budget decomposition. The regional structure of ΔQnet is ...

Abstract: Statistical prediction of tropical sea-surface temperatures (SST) is performed using linear inverse models (LIMs) that are constructed from both observations and general circulation model (GCM) output of SST. The goals are ...

Abstract: To study the stress distribution characteristics of the surrounding rock of the gob-side coal–rock roadway in a gently inclined coal seam under the influence of excavation and mining disturbance, a physically similar ...

Abstract: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) redispersible powder was used to modify mortar. The tensile strength of EVA-modified mortar and the interface bond strength of EVA-modified mortar and porcelain tile, cured under

Abstract: The fatigue-crack growth (FCG) behavior of 14MnNbq bridge steel was experimentally investigated in this paper. The fatigue-crack growth rate and threshold under different stress ratios (

Abstract: This article develops a novel event-triggered sliding mode control (ETSMC) approach with variable threshold to deal with trajectory tracking matters of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) accompanied by actuator saturation ...
