Abstract: Water management in a fuel cell is essential to ensure cell performance and life. In this study, a special single cell was designed for the purpose of detecting liquid water and water vapor ...

Abstract: Beam‐column elements in which plastic hinges may form are commonly used for elastic‐plastic analysis of frames. The concept of a zero‐length plastic hinge (lumped plasticity) is a mathematical abstraction, because it implies ...

Abstract: A heuristic approach is presented to solve continuum topology optimization problems with specified constraints, e.g., structural volume constraint and/or displacement constraint(s). The essentials ...

Abstract: To study the development of high-strength concrete creep under cyclic load as well as the distribution of moisture flow velocity, pore pressure, and equivalent stress, a concrete creep model based on a porous medium was ...
