Abstract: Computer experiments were performed on simulated polycrystalline material samples that possess locally anisotropic microstructures to investigate stress intensity factor (K) variations and anisotropy ...

Abstract: Computer experiments were performed to investigate behavior of mesoscopic stress responses in a simulated polycrystalline material sample containing a fairly large number of constituent grains for ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of quantifying the air-void distribution and cracking characters through X-ray computed tomography. Five mixtures are analyzed for air-void distribution, and two of them are tested for cracking ...

Abstract: To construct a more durable long-life asphalt pavement with semi-rigid base, we combine different technical characteristics of long-life asphalt pavements reported at home and abroad. Different interlayer bonding conditions ...

Abstract: The arch rib, tie beam, and rod of the tied arch are considered common forces. According to the characteristics of these forces, the calculation equation of the moment augment factor of the tied arch is derived. The equation ...

Abstract: The concept, basic principle, and characteristics of twice-prestressed composite beam are introduced, and the mechanical performance, deformation performance, and creep stress redistribution of the horizontal interface of ...

Abstract: To research the compatibility and adhesion of rubber asphalt, the correlation of the asphalt components and rubber content with conventional properties of rubber asphalt was analyzed. The effects of asphalt component, ...

Abstract: Nonparametric regression is an important method for short-term traffic flow forecasting, but the traditional nonparametric regression method needs a large storage space and slow query speed when the data are large and the ...

Abstract: When fluid flows through a regulating valve, static pressure changes due to the change of fluid area. If the static pressure is lower than saturated vapor pressure, cavitations erosion, and flash vaporization will occur. ...

Abstract: Understanding hydrodynamics of a free-spanning pipeline subjected to omni-directional flows is important to engineering design. In this study, horizontally oblique flows past a three-dimensional circular cylinder in the ...
