Abstract: A machine with an internal variablestiffness mechanism can adapt its output force to the working environment. In the literature, linear variablestiffness mechanisms (LVSMs) are rarer than those producing rotary motion. ...

Abstract: The planetary gear-bearing interference fit surface is prone to fretting slip under alternating torque, which can lead to fretting wear and fatigue failure. However, the current studies often ignore the influence of ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this research is to study the relationship between surface movement and hydrological triggers of a large and active landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir (the Shuping landslide). When the landslide ...

Abstract: To respond to funding shortages and sustainably preserve their aged pavements, transportation agencies are forced to go beyond conventional thinking to develop innovative, cost-effective pavement preservation methods to ...
