Abstract: Multibody dynamics approaches have nowadays been an essential part in examining train crashworthiness. A typical passenger train structure has been investigated on its crashworthiness using three-dimensional (3D) models ...

Abstract: The droplet growth processes during dropwise condensation are simulated with the help of computer. We focus on instantaneous and time-averaged characteristics of droplet size distributions. Based on the simulation results, ...

Abstract: The coupled ocean?atmosphere responses to idealized freshwater forcing in the western tropical Pacific are studied using a fully coupled climate model. The model explicitly demonstrates that freshwater forcing in the western ...

Abstract: o better understand the causes of climate change in the tropical Pacific on the decadal and longer time scales, the rectification effect of ENSO events is delineated by contrasting the time-mean state of two forced ocean ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new parallel co-simulation method to study vehicle-track dynamic interactions. The new method uses the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) to enable co-simulation between a ...

Abstract: This paper delivers an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art technologies relevant to rail flaw detection giving emphasis to their use in detection of rail flaw defects at practical inspection vehicle speeds. The review ...

Abstract: The prelithiation of hard carbon electrode using stable metal lithium powder to compensate the lithium loss during the first lithium insertion is studied in this work. The results show that when the pressure on lithium ...

Abstract: The separation efficiency of a vane-type separator is greatly affected by swirl instability. The separator consists of a swirling vane, a recovery vane and a main pipe. Driven by centrifugal force, the bubbly flow tends ...
