Abstract: This study proposes a novel optimal isolation valve placement method for water distribution networks (WDNs) using dynamic programming. The proposed method automatically finds the best places to install isolation valves ...

Abstract: Evaluating the dynamic mechanical properties of rocks is the foundation for preventing and controlling relevant disasters. To investigate the dynamic tensile failure mechanism of transversely isotropic rocks, Brazilian ...

Abstract: Understanding the dynamic mechanical behavior of transversely isotropic rocks is essential in various fields of rock engineering, such as tunnel digging, blasting, and underground excavation. The bedding structure and ...
