Abstract: This paper presents experimental measurements of the through-thickness distribution of residual stress in a ceramic-metallic functionally graded material (FGM). It further presents an error analysis ...

Abstract: To solve the problem of the unsatisfactory effect of grouting reinforcement in broken rock mass, a cement-based composite slurry was successfully prepared by using ordinary Portland cement as the main material in this ...

Abstract: The southwest vortex (SWV) is a critical weather system in China, but our knowledge of this system remains incomplete. Here, we investigate the cloud properties in the SWV. First, we search for the SWVs with time steps and ...

Abstract: Objective selection and tradeoffs have always been key central issues in rainfall-runoff models. In general, precision for high and low flows cannot be achieved or considered concurrently. Combination forecasts are potentially ...

Abstract: Providing travelers with full ex-post travel time information from day to day can only make a disequilibrium network evolve to the user equilibrium, rather than the system-optimal or other better-off states. To make best ...

Abstract: The horizontal alignment of existing railway must be re-created and calibrated periodically to meet the requirements of safety, stability and comfort. Most existing re-creation methods perform local section optimization, ...

Abstract: With the rapid development of the supersonic aircraft technology, the aircraft Mach number continues increasing, but on the other hand, the working condition becomes progressively poor. The photonic crystals (PCs) material ...

Abstract: To improve the forecasting accuracy of short-term traffic flow and provide precise and reliable traffic information for traffic management units and travelers, this study proposes a hybrid prediction model that is based ...

Abstract: Availability of cooling water has been one of the major issues in the selection of nuclear power plant sites. Cooling water issues have frequently disrupted the normal operation at some nuclear power plants during heat ...

Abstract: In this study, glue-pressed engineered honeycomb bamboo (GPEHB) was prepared, and the dependence of the compressive properties of the produced GPEHB on the load–slenderness ratio, longitudinal strain–slenderness ratio, and ...
