Abstract: The impeller–volute tongue interaction strongly influences the aerodynamic performance of squirrel cage fan. To quantitatively evaluate the level of impeller–volute tongue interaction, we propose two parameters, i.e., ...

Abstract: In this study, international cases of bridge damage are analyzed to bridges crossing fault (BCF). It is pointed out that bridge damage can be affected by fault type, the orientation of a bridge to a fault, and ground ...

Abstract: Swirl brake influences the static and rotordynamic characteristics of labyrinth seal which are important in the prediction of turbomachine stability. To study the influence of the swirl brakes on improving seal stability, ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were carried out in an open terrain to measure the wind pressure on six cylindrical roofs with the rise-span ratios of 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8 and length-span ratios of 1 and 2. Using the measured wind pressures ...

Abstract: Internal arcing in oil-immersed electrical equipment is inevitable and of great danger. Transient overpressure should be released by protectors quickly and controllably. Currently available pressure relief valves cannot ...

Abstract: The rapid expansion of urban road systems inevitably results in engineering challenges when new road construction requires the safe crossing of existing roads. Therefore, there has been increased interest in box culvert ...

Abstract: Postconstruction settlement that occurs before a tunnel is in operation may significantly influence the tunnel’s long-term stability. The current study investigates such a tunnel, a three-lane superlarge section tunnel in ...

Abstract: The kinematics and dynamics of n(3RRlS) reconfigurable series–parallel manipulators (RSPMs) are the theoretical foundations for capturing noncooperative targets in space. In this study, a unified kinematic and dynamic ...
