Abstract: The coupled discrete-element method–finite difference method (DEM–FDM) numerical modeling scheme was proposed to simulate a single stone column in soft clay according to the Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The ...

Abstract: Salt scaling is a commonly observed durability issue in concrete exposed to a combined salt and frost attack. This damage is restricted to a very thin surface region causing the removal of mortar flakes. This study ...

Abstract: Hybrid mechanisms combine the advantages of serial mechanisms and parallel mechanisms and have better stiffness and a larger workspace. In this paper, a novel workspace strongly coupled machining robot mechanism with a ...

Abstract: The local tie vectors between different space geodesy instruments in colocated sites, such as the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), and satellite laser ranging (SLR), are ...
