Abstract: When equipped with a handlebar and pedal force display subsystem, motion-generating subsystem, and visual subsystem, the interactive bicycle simulator can bring riders a realistic cycling feeling. ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, which solves the full threedimensional (3D) Navier–Stokes equations, has been recognized as having promise in providing a more detailed and accurate analysis for oilfilm journal ...

Abstract: Weathering processes such as dry–wet (DW) cycles affect the hydromechanical properties of soils for earthen sites, in which significant proportions of the cross section could be influenced by climatic weathering, such as ...

Abstract: In thrust bearings, cavitation may occur at high rotational speeds or low lubricant supply pressures, and it will influence the bearing performances. In this paper, a hydrodynamic tapered land thrust bearing has been studied ...

Abstract: A significant feature of residual soil is the presence of a cemented structure and fissures that dominate its anisotropic behavior. Although the anisotropy of some sedimentary soils is well understood, that of residual ...

Abstract: In this study, the accumulated plastic strain (APS) of granite residual soil under cyclic loads is investigated by a series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests. Granite residual soil is a special kind of soil that is widely ...
