Abstract: Soil erosion can lead to an increase in the concentration of sediment in the runoff and the surplus floodwater during flood season, which increases the likelihood of a flood disaster. To analyze the relationship between ...

Abstract: Different parameters of dimension m and tolerance threshold r in approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn) can cause inconsistency of complexity comparison in hydrologic time series. A new approach to determine ...

Abstract: With surface roughness restricted by grinding parameters, the characterization of roughness parameters and the inversion of grinding parameters are of great significance for improving surface performance and realizing ...

Abstract: A novel micro-asperity contact area model, which considers influences of strain hardening, is proposed to describe contact area between a deformable sphere and a rigid flat for metallic materials. First, a generalized ...

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, ...

Abstract: Film-hole can be often blocked by thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) spraying, resulting in the variations of aerodynamic and thermal performances of film cooling. In this study, a numerical study of the blockage effect on ...
