Abstract: This study develops a three-dimensional multishear bounding surface model for simulating the constitutive response of interfaces between the granular soil and structure. Based on the plasticity slip theory, the model is ...

Abstract: When a reach of a meandering river becomes very sinuous, and thereby causes significant problems for navigation and flood discharge, cutoff works in the narrow-neck portion of the river bend may be carried out. It is common ...

Abstract: Due to good corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, glass fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) bolts are widely used in mining operations. However, GFRP bolts are susceptible to blast load damage, so it is important to ...

Abstract: The sequential approximate optimization (SAO) method is widely adopted in aircraft optimization design, whose further improvement in efficacy and efficiency has encountered bottlenecks. In this paper, a collaboratively ...

Abstract: An in-depth study of the effects of diesel hydrocarbon components on diesel engine performance can help achieve efficient and clean combustion and provide guidance for improving commercial diesel components. In this paper, ...
