Abstract: This paper presents the static and dynamic characteristics of single-stage pressure-reducing valves and establishes design criteria. The dynamic analysis was accomplished using frequency-response ...

Abstract: A beam-column model for simulating the inelastic behavior of three-dimensional (3D) steel frames is presented. Yielding of the steel section is modeled by two nested stress-resultant surfaces and takes into consideration ...

Abstract: Hydrogen is often considered to be the ultimate energy source for vehicles. However, if hydrogen is to fuel practical vehicles, then the development of fuel cell and hydrogen fueled engine ...

Abstract: An investigation has been conducted of the velocity coupling phenomenon reported in acoustically unstable solid propellant rocket motors. An innovative simulation facility has been built using ...

Abstract: Low hydrogen density of high pressure vessels is the primary concern in compressed hydrogen storage techniques. To increase densities, a new tank design is proposed in this paper with simulative ...

Abstract: In this paper, the pile-soil interaction behavior of a large-sized steel pipe pile in soft silty clay along the downstream of the Yangtze River is analyzed and discussed through an in-situ ...

Abstract: Crack inspection is a crucial but labor-intensive work of maintenance for in-service bridges. Recently, the development of fully convolutional network (FCN) provides pixel-wise semantic segmentation, which is promising as ...

Abstract: There has been significant demand for stacked die technology during the past few years. The stacked die devices are mainly used in portable consumer products. This kind of silicon integration ...
