Abstract: When laminating a thin elastic membrane on a substrate with surface roughness, three scenarios can happen: fully conformed (FC), i.e., the membrane completely follows the surface morphology of the substrate without any ...

Abstract: A laser-based technique for finishing axisymmetric parts is presented which allows the efficient finishing of polymers and ceramics without tool wear, tool breakage, or cutting forces. In this ...

Abstract: To predict the environmental vibration caused by high-speed railways, a prediction method combining actual measurement and simulation is proposed based on the vibration prediction formula proposed by Federal Transportation ...

Abstract: Numerical weather predictions (NWPs) are very useful in hydrological modeling, including for river flow forecasting and flood warning in river basins. However, uncertainties in NWPs also significantly impact the accuracy ...

Abstract: Due to the designing characteristics of long span and low stiffness, the high-order vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of suspension bridges may occur under a special wind environment. The prototype monitoring data make it ...

Abstract: The operation performance of expansion joints is crucial to the driving safety of high-speed trains and the structural integrity of long-span bridges. However, the fact that displacement in expansion joints is influenced ...
