Is Basal Reinforcement Essential for Long and Narrow Subway Excavation Bottoming Out in Shanghai Soft Clay?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of its great length, one subway terminal excavation in Shanghai, China, was divided into two pits for sequential construction. Although it featured an adequate earth-supporting system and the field construction ...
Atomistic Insights Into Anti-Wear Mechanisms and Protective Tribofilm Formation in Polytetrafluoroethylene Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has a low friction coefficient but poor wear resistance (k ∼ 10−3 mm3/Nm) against various surfaces. Early mechanical modeling suggests the enhanced anti-wear performance of PTFE composites ...
