Abstract: To predict the performance of three-dimensional (3D) finite-length noise barriers, a simplified method is presented to calculate the acoustic pressure of noise barriers by a theoretical approach. Based on noise diffraction ...

Abstract: An improved “mass–spring” model to analyze the entire short-circuiting transfer (SCT) dynamic process based on the association between the arcing and circuiting phases has been proposed. This paper analyses the basic ...

Abstract: The synthesis and application of nanometer-sized particles have received considerable attention in recent years because of their different physical and chemical properties from those of the bulk ...
