Abstract: The novel shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) has the following salient features: large apparent specific heat for the phase change temperature region, suitable thermal conductivity, and ...

Abstract: The exertion of super-long pile skin friction is an asynchronous process in deep soft soil area. The limitation of skin friction on the upper part of pile is much smaller than the lower part of pile. The softening of ...

Abstract: In this technical brief, the effect of adding silver (Ag) nanoparticles of various shapes on the thermal conductivity enhancement of ethylene glycol (EG)based suspensions was investigated experimentally. These included Ag ...

Abstract: Quantifying surface and subsurface water dynamics is essential to design and manage furrow irrigation systems. Many furrow irrigation models estimate infiltration using empirical functions without considering the variable ...

Abstract: This work revealed the flood damage rule of road-bridge binding sites in highway bridge engineering according to the Fr similarity criterion by adopting the orthogonal test design method and emphasizing, exploring, and ...

Abstract: The main load on a pile foundation in the ocean is the wave load. Presently, few reports exist on the dynamic stability of pile foundations in the ocean. This paper investigated the dynamic stability of pile foundations ...
