Abstract: Tuned inerter dampers (TID) have been demonstrated as efficient energy dissipation devices for seismic response control. However, its potential capability for energy harvesting remains largely unexplored. Here, we present ...

Abstract: The simulation of dynamic water pressure is one of the basic methods that should be researched to improve the resistance of an asphalt mixture to water damage. In this study a test system that generates dynamic water ...

Abstract: As an important safety equipment in nuclear system, the passive residual heat removal heat exchanger (PRHR HX) with C-tube is responsible for timely removing heat from the reactor core in accident. A C-tube heating device ...

Abstract: Maintenance works in oil and gas (O&G) engineering are routinely plagued by delays, cost overruns, and noncompliance. When constraints are not properly identified, subsequent conflicts could be more inevitable. This ...

Abstract: The heat transfer performance of two roll-to-roll microchannel heat exchangers with square cross section and side length ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm were investigated via numerical studies. In order to assess the heat ...
