Abstract: The purpose of this study is to calculate the maintenance interval time (MIT) of steel structure of a large gantry crane in shipyard and provide basis for a maintenance plan. By analyzing a mechanical model of the lifting ...

Abstract: he Philippine Sea (PS) is a key region connecting North Pacific subtropics to the equator via western boundary currents. Using available measurements from Argo profiling floats, satellite altimeters, and research surveys, ...

Abstract: he surface circulation of the tropical Pacific Ocean is characterized by alternating zonal currents, such as the North Equatorial Current (NEC), North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC), South Equatorial Current (SEC), and ...

Abstract: It is well known that the biological composites have superior mechanical properties due to their exquisite multilevel structural hierarchy. However, the underlying mechanisms of the roles of this hierarchical design in the ...
