Abstract: It is a challenging task to simulate the situation involving nonstationary motions, one crucial requirement of which is an efficient algorithm to realize the high-quality computational mesh deformation. The inverse distance ...

Abstract: Most unmanned aerial vehicles which fly with moving wings or encounter gusts at low Reynolds number conditions make pitching oscillation motions. The aerodynamic forces and flow field around the wings vary dramatically ...

Abstract: To estimate production behaviors of inclined well in multilayer heterogeneous carbonate gas reservoir, two semi-analytical models for different formation distribution patterns are proposed, which are named as model I and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a time-varying model-based method for estimating earthquake-induced displacement responses of building structures using limited acceleration data. First, a time-varying model which considers the variability ...
