Abstract: Sands age and their engineering properties often improve significantly during performance life cycles and are of practical interest to engineers. Although various hypothesized aging mechanisms have been proposed, experimental ...

Abstract: The development of fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel bridge decks is a problem that bridge engineers are facing and need to solve urgently. A modified overlay is usually used to strengthen an orthotropic steel bridge ...

Abstract: A safety-critical measure of legged locomotion performance is a robot's ability to track its desired time-varying position trajectory in an environment, which is herein termed as “global-position tracking.” This paper ...

Abstract: To investigate the relation between pore structure and compressive strength, ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete (C), tailings concrete (T), and tailings concrete mixed with steel fiber (TF8) were subjected to dry-wet ...

Abstract: Nozzle facilities, which can generate high Mach number flows, are the core portions of the supersonic wind tunnel. Different from traditional fixed nozzles, a flexible nozzle can deform to designed contours and supply ...
