Abstract: A technique based on a skeleton-section template for parameterizing finite element (FE) models is reported and applied to shape optimization of thin-walled beam components. The template consists of a skeletal curve and a ...

Abstract: In the summer following a strong El Niño, tropical cyclone (TC) number decreases over the Northwest (NW) Pacific despite little change in local sea surface temperature. The authors? analysis suggests El Niño?induced tropical ...

Abstract: Rock mass is a structural system with intact rock cut by cracks. The properties and strength of cracks determine the macroscopic mechanical properties of rock mass. Improving the self-stability of rock mass by enhancing ...

Abstract: It is always an important research direction to improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) through structural optimization. For anode-supported SOFC, the thin cathode thickness results in an uneven distribution ...

Abstract: Meteorological station records and regional climate model output are combined to develop a continuous 168-yr (1840?2007) spatial reconstruction of monthly, seasonal, and annual mean Greenland ice sheet near-surface air ...

Abstract: In this study, a typical threedimensional model of single channel monoblocklayer build solid oxide fuel cell (MOLBtype SOFC) was developed. The effects of rib width and cathode thickness on the species concentration ...

Abstract: A ferrofluid seal is a rotary seal widely used in the chemical industry, shipbuilding, aerospace, aviation, and other fields, demonstrating various advantages, such as high reliability, low wear, and low leakage rate. The ...

Abstract: ir?sea interaction in the South China Sea (SCS) has direct impacts on the weather and climate of its surrounding areas at various spatiotemporal scales. In situ observation plays a vital role in exploring the dynamic ...
