Abstract: Metro stations in metropolitan areas often face the issue of overcrowding, resulting in passengers enduring uncomfortable waiting experiences. Although numerous ongoing studies focus on enhancing transportation efficiency, ...

Abstract: A multizone nonlinear boundary element method is used to simulate the size effect of quasi-brittle materials that are modeled as randomly dispersed particulate composites with randomly distributed microcracks located between ...

Abstract: For landslide mitigation, stabilizing piles are widely adopted in geotechnical engineering practice. The formation of soil arching between stabilizing piles can greatly mitigate the lateral spreading of sandy soil, and ...

Abstract: Upon leakage in underground gas pipelines, the interaction between soil particles and gas will produce acoustic events exhibiting varied frequencies, amplitudes, and energy characteristics. In order to obtain the acoustic ...

Abstract: Focusing on the effect of the meandering planform, two functions are investigated by a numerical experiment: the first represents the ratio between the intensities of the resisting forces acting on a meandering flow and ...

Abstract: A series of floating beds consisting of biounits were constructed for eutrophic water treatment in the field. Dynamic changes in water quality under each treatment were monitored to investigate treatment performance, and ...

Abstract: The flow in every meandering channel with a specific sinuosity has its own convective pattern. However, most of the previous numerical works did not take this nature as an essential aspect when validating their computed ...
