Abstract: The natural granite includes various hard and brittle minerals with different material behaviors. In this paper, the discrete distribution parameters of microhardness and microbrittleness are ...

Abstract: Impacts on asphalt mixture’s high temperature performance with PR series additives added by means of rutting test and Repeated Shear Test (Constant Height) (RSCH) were investigated. The analytic results of the two tests ...

Abstract: Originally, the author intended to attack the problem of dynamic effects of the Tibet Plateau on the general circulation of the atmosphere. As the work was progressing, it appeared that the concept of assimilation of space ...

Abstract: The reduced graphene oxide modified sodium ion-intercalated manganese oxide (RGO-NaxMnO2) is designed as a supercapacitor electrode material. The layered intercalation compound NaxMnO2 is prepared through a solid-state ...

Abstract: Human-induced warming is estimated to have increased the occurrence probability of events like the record-breaking warm February in East Asia by a factor of 4–20.

Abstract: A new method is proposed for robust partial quadratic eigenvalue assignment problem (RPQEAP) with repeated prescribed eigenvalues. We first derive a result on the solution of partial quadratic eigenvalue assignment problem, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a cubic-spline multiscale finite element method (CMSFEM) for solving groundwater flow problems in porous media. The main idea of this method is using the multiscale finite element method (MSFEM) to ...

Abstract: Base isolators and fluid viscous dampers are viable protective devices that have been commonly considered in the seismic protection of civil engineering structures. However, the optimal design of these devices remains a ...

Abstract: A new-type energy-recovering hydraulic workover rig is researched. The basic structure and working theory of this rig are introduced. This rig decreases its equipped power remarkably compared ...
