Abstract: A thermal storage unit (TSU) with flat microheat pipe arrays (FMHPAs) as heat transfer core is experimentally investigated in this study. A comprehensive evaluation parameter of the TSU defined as thermal power intensity ...

Abstract: The stationary probability density function (PDF) solution of the stochastic responses is derived for nonlinear oscillators subjected to both additive and multiplicative Poisson white noises. The ...

Abstract: A series of dynamic experiments for 20 models of high arch dams were recently performed on a shaking table, with the water ignored. The experimental results show that the seismic response and final failure of high arch ...

Abstract: From an analytical standpoint, a majority of calculations use known boundary conditions (temperature or flux) and the so-called direct route to determine internal temperatures, strains, and/or ...

Abstract: The nonzero-mean probability density function (PDF) solutions of nonlinear stochastic oscillators under the excitation of Poisson impulse process are obtained with exponential-polynomial closure (EPC) method. The excitations ...

Abstract: Extensive uncertainties exist in many resources and environmental management problems, which can be interrelated and thus amplify the complexity and nonlinearity of study systems. The interactions from dependent random ...
