Abstract: In this paper, the parametric stability of axially accelerating viscoelastic beams is revisited. The effects of the longitudinally varying tension due to the axial acceleration are highlighted, ...

Abstract: China's urban land price has experienced a long-term increase that has been accompanied by urbanization. This paper will analyze the divergence of urban function between cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2009 ...

Abstract: We evaluate the simulated teleconnection of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to winter season precipitation extremes over the United States in a long (98 years) 1950 control high-resolution version (HR; 25-km nominal ...

Abstract: The phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soils in combination with chemical methods such as soil washing could be more effective than single technology. In this study, pot experiments were carried out to study the effects ...

Abstract: Coupling beams in shear wall and frame–shear wall systems are structural fuses that undergo significant inelastic deformation and absorb earthquake input energy. However, severe damage to coupling beams can disrupt building ...

Abstract: Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) precipitation prediction in boreal spring and summer months, which contains a significant number of high-signal events, is scientifically challenging and prediction skill has remained poor for ...
