Abstract: Gaussian random field has been widely applied to quantify high-dimensional uncertainties in the spatial or temporal domain. A common practice in Gaussian random field modeling is to use the exponential function to represent ...

Abstract: tmospheric responses to the Kuroshio SST front in the East China Sea under different prevailing winds are examined using high-resolution observations and numerical modeling. Satellite data reveal a significant in-phase ...

Abstract: Clamping force is crucial for resisting slip loads in friction-type high-strength bolted (FHSB) connections, and following corrosion, it diminishes due to sectional reduction of the nuts and/or bolt heads. Evaluating ...

Abstract: The viscoelastic damper is one of the most promising devices for vibration mitigation. In order to reduce dynamic responses of iced transmission lines due to strong wind, a new kind of viscoelastic antigalloping device ...

Abstract: The rutting and cracking distresses of asphalt pavement severely affect its service life. Enhancing the visco-toughness and mechanical properties of asphalt by using graphene may improve the durability of asphalt pavement. ...

Abstract: Coarse-grained soil particles are suspectible to breakage under high-stress conditions, with particle breakage being the main reason for the compression of samples. The compression coefficient λ in the e–log σ′ curve is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unified control framework for both setpoint and timevarying force control of robot manipulator by introducing an improved positionbased impedance control (IPBIC). In order to essentially achieve ...

Abstract: By treating the latent heating as an energy source which is implicitly related to the motion field, the existence of steady nonlinear circulations in a flow susceptible to Conditionally Symmetric Instability (CSI) is ...
