Abstract: In this study, two failure modes, yield buckling of the compression ring section and strength failure in the roof-to-shell of the tank, have been proposed for a vertical vaulted tank. The failure criteria of the two failure ...

Abstract: Graphene/fullerene carbon–based nanoparticles exhibit excellent tribological properties in solid–liquid two-phase lubrication systems. However, the tribological mechanism still lacks profound insights into dynamic friction ...

Abstract: Illite is a type of clay mineral that forms rocks. It plays an important role in the mechanical properties of the red-bed soft rock, which is significantly influenced by water. However, it remains unclear how water affects ...
