Abstract: This paper introduces frequency response functions, analyzes the relationships between the frequency response functions and influence coefficients theoretically, and derives corresponding mathematical ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the accurate methodology of motorcycle equivalent units (MEUs) in mixed traffic flow by considering the characteristics of moving vehicles, such as velocity and effective space. In ...

Abstract: A set of closed-form solutions for the liquid film distributions in the condenser section of a radially rotating miniature heat pipe and for the vapor temperature drop along the heat pipe ...

Abstract: The temperature limitation is one of the most crucial limiting factors to the efficiency of military gas turbine engines. An increased turbine inlet gas temperature decreases both specific fuel ...

Abstract: An in-depth analysis of the deterioration mechanisms in high-strength wires of suspension bridge cables is presented. Accelerated cyclic corrosion tests were conducted to assess the relative effect of corrosion on galvanized ...

Abstract: Designing pistons with effective cooling is crucial to preventing piston failure and improving engine service life. A piston design that incorporates the heat-pipe cooling technology may provide ...

Abstract: The abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant cause of death and disability in the Western world and is the subject of many clinical and pathological studies. One of the most commonly ...

Abstract: Substantial research has been conducted on the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strips. The beams may be strengthened in various ways: complete FRP wraps ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used for strengthening reinforced concrete structures because of their superior properties. Reliable performance of the bond between the external FRP and the concrete ...
