Abstract: The plate approximation of a pipe is a topic discussed for decades. Rules have been established to make the comparisons. Presented here is a related topic, but one to answer the question of ...

Abstract: This study presents an energy dissipation analysis approach for cavity expansion problems in crushable granular materials under the high stress state. By assuming that the energy dissipation generated from cavity expansion ...

Abstract: The aggregate skeleton and its evolution under external loads are crucial to evaluate the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixture. This study developed a method to identify the three-dimensionally (3D) aggregate ...

Abstract: Using the classical (linear) Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) failure criterion, the failure mechanism of slopes is commonly treated as a completely shear failure. However, the tension failure mechanism has also been commonly observed ...

Abstract: The identification of commuters’ home and work locations is crucial for urban and transport planning because it enables a better understanding of the urban spatial structure and commuting flow. Various methods have been ...

Abstract: Public project plays an important role in China’s economy, and the agent construction system (ACS) has been widely used in public projects since 2004. As a construction management innovation, the ACS improves the management ...

Abstract: Using the computational fluid dynamic numerical simulation method, the gas, liquid, and solid three-phase hydrodynamic behavior in a self-made aeration fluidized bed reactor was simulated numerically. The influence of gas ...
