Abstract: The linear stability of plane Poiseuille flow through a finite-length channel is studied. A weakly divergence-free basis finite element method with streamline upwind Petrov–Galerkin (SUPG) stabilization is used to formulate ...

Abstract: An efficient and accurate model for the dynamic assessment of vehicle-track behavior subjected to cross wind actions is developed in this paper, where the wind–vehicle–track interaction is regarded as a coupled vibration ...

Abstract: A novel twoequations model for computing the flow properties of a spatiallydeveloping, incompressible, zeropressuregradient, turbulent boundary layer over a smooth, flat wall is developed. The mean streamwise velocity ...

Abstract: In light of two wheel–rail contact relations, i.e., displacement compatibility and force equilibrium, a newly developed three-dimensional (3D) model for vehicle–track interactions is presented in this paper. This model is ...

Abstract: The dynamic vehicle–track interactions are complex processes due to the highly nonlinear terms and spatially varying excitations in vehicle design, track maintenance, dynamic prediction, etc. Therefore, it is of importance ...

Abstract: In this work, a model for characterizing the ballasted track–vehicle interaction is presented. The vehicle is modeled as a multirigid-body system consisting of a car body, two bogie frames, and four wheelsets, and the track ...

Abstract: Feedback stabilization of inviscid and high Reynolds number, axisymmetric, swirling flows in a long finitelength circular pipe using active variations of pipe geometry as a function of the evolving inlet radial velocity ...

Abstract: The characteristics of zinc behavior that the zinc layer is vaporized and ionized during laser welding of galvanized steel are closely related to the stability of the molten pool, and the weld keyhole formation, easily ...

Abstract: This study investigates three methods of strengthening existing reinforced square concrete columns under different loading conditions. Four groups of sixteen reinforced concrete square columns were made from normal-strength ...

Abstract: Generally, low-mobility individuals, those with less access to transportation options and who are often marginalized in the social environment, can be divided into three groups: older adults, low-income individuals, and ...
