Abstract: Topology optimization of macroperiodic structures is traditionally realized by imposing periodic constraints on the global structure, which needs to solve a fully linear system. Therefore, it usually requires a huge ...

Abstract: This paper gives a set of time-dependent displacement solutions for the case of a vertical concentrated force acting in the interior of fractional derivative viscoelastic soils. First, a three-dimensional fractional ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a semianalytical solution to analyze the long-term settlement of a single pile embedded in fractional derivative viscoelastic soils under time-dependent loading. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) ...

Abstract: This note presents an analytical method for predicting the uplift capacity of a single pile embedded in sand, considering the arching effect. Taking into account the passive stress state of dense sand and the active stress ...

Abstract: Battery thermal management system (BTMS) has significant impacts on the performance of electric vehicles (EVs). In this research, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled multi-objective optimization framework is ...

Abstract: Battery thermal management system (BTMS) is a hot research area for electric vehicles (EVs). Common BTMS schemes include air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase-change materials (PCMs). Air cooling BTMS is widely used in ...
