Abstract: A point-based modeling scheme for the mesostructure of a two-step three-dimensional (3D) braided composite is proposed. The yarn path and the section profile are more realistic than the traditional mesh-based model, and ...

Abstract: For low-temperature flue gas, there is still no efficient and economic denitration technology. The oxidation absorption method can be believed as a new popular choice. Heterogeneous Fenton reaction is a more promising ...

Abstract: Developing countries with fast-growing economies have experienced rapidly increasing vehicle ownership, rates of utilization similar to those of developed countries, and worrisome levels of pollution from private transportation. ...

Abstract: In infrastructure project practice, balancing and maximizing the combined effect of exploratory and exploitative innovation have attracted increasing attention, but it is still unclear how to foster ambidextrous innovation ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking is considered the most prevalent damage for welded steel structures like bridges and ships. Inspections are normally planned in the service life to assess fatigue damages in order to ensure structural ...

Abstract: From the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics, the stability and bifurcation of the rotor dynamical system supported in gas bearings are investigated. First, the dynamical model of gas bearing-Jeffcott ...

Abstract: Molybdate inhibited both sulfidogenesis and benzoate degradation in anaerobic treatment of wastewater, but the impact was more severe to the former reaction. In batch reactors, molybdate inhibition increased progressively ...

Abstract: The formation and characteristics of intracellular polymers in aerobic sludge of sequencing batch reactors were investigated at ambient temperature under balanced nutrient conditions. Three substrates of different chemical ...

Abstract: The analysis of the internal forces of long tunnels subjected to seismic loading is an important problem in underground engineering. This study is focused on the seismic responses of a circular tunnel in a layered half-space ...
