Abstract: A mathematical multilayer, multispecies two-phase model for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is presented based on fundamental molecular theory using the general transport equation (GTE). The ...

Abstract: All existing mathematical models for predicting deformation-dependent lateral earth pressure assume the at-rest state as the turning point for the relationship between lateral earth pressure and soil deformation. However, ...

Abstract: The high frequency electrochemical impedance measurements with positive imaginary components in the impedance complex plot of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) are attributable to the inductance ...

Abstract: With the increasing construction demand for tunnels in soft silty clay layers, it is important to effectively control the face stability of a tunnel. One of the key issues for maintaining face stability is addressing how ...

Abstract: The storage of hydrogen in a compressed gaseous form offers the simplest solution in terms of infrastructure requirements and has become the most popular and most highly developed hydrogen ...

Abstract: Lining cracks are one of the most common distresses in in-service highway tunnels and pose severe threats to the safety of tunnel operation. Traditional methods for retrofitting distressed tunnel lining all have limitations, ...

Abstract: With the aging of tunnel structures, rehabilitation and repair has become an increasingly important part of tunnel maintenance. This paper investigates the use of alkali-activated mortar for tunnel-lining structure repair. ...

Abstract: The gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in polymer proton exchange membrane fuel cells are under compression in operation. Understanding and then being able to quantify the reduced ability of GDLs to ...
