Abstract: A finite element model is presented for the seismic response of liquid-filled tanks. This type of analysis is complicated for unanchored tanks, because the bases of these tanks separate from ...

Abstract: An optical-electronic technique has been developed for simultaneous, remote measurements of the surface tension and wave attenuation over the water surface. The technique has been fully tested in a laboratory tank, and ...

Abstract: The adjoint of the system is a linear operator that can be interpreted as the transposition of the unit pulse response matrix with a Toeplitz structure. In the context of iterative learning control, the system adjoint can ...

Abstract: The hydroxyl radical

Abstract: A new C++ programming strategy with high modularization and good portability, and a novel data storage format for simultaneous equations with little computer memory consumption, no sorting operation, and simple addressing ...

Abstract: A novel characteristic model-based discrete adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) scheme is proposed for vibration attenuation of the space frame. First, this paper establishes a characteristic model as real time model for ...

Abstract: The analysis result of liquid fuel combustion performance shows that the factors affecting chamber combustion are the vaporization and atomization of liquid fuel. At the same time, the combustion chamber conditions and the ...

Abstract: Simulating large-scale problems are still challenging for discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). To this end, this paper develops an efficient disk-based DDA (DDDA) model considering the efficiency in searching contact ...

Abstract: A new and innovative binder KMP is developed for solidification/stabilization (S/S) of soils contaminated with heavy metals such as lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd). The KMP consists of acid-activated phosphate rock, ...
