Abstract: Failure of colluvial soil deposits induced by rainfall is a common geohazard in the natural terrain. Many colluvial soils are widely and gap graded with a minimal sand fraction. In order to study the pore water pressures ...

Abstract: In this paper, research on transverse vibrations of axially moving strings and their control is thoroughly reviewed. In the last few decades, there have been extensive studies on analysis and ...

Abstract: Steady-state periodical response is investigated for planar vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beams subjected external transverse loads. A model of the coupled planar vibration is established ...

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: Axially moving materials can represent many engineering devices such as power transmission belts, elevator cables, plastic films, magnetic tapes, paper sheets, textile fibers, band saws, aerial ...

Abstract: The stepped spillway has increasingly become an effective energy dissipator. When the hydraulic performance of the overflow is clearly known, the energy dissipation could be increased. However, the study of stepped spillway ...

Abstract: A survey was conducted to study the characteristics of parking in central Shanghai, with the selected survey areas classified as typical market areas, business- and office-oriented areas, and food- and drink-oriented areas. ...
