Abstract: Based on analysis of a progressive collapse mechanism, this paper presents a simplified model for static analysis of progressive collapse response of RC beam-column substructures under midspan point loading. The proposed ...

Abstract: As a large agricultural country, China’s timely and accurate extraction of rural buildings from high spatial resolution remote sensing images plays a crucial role in rural revitalization. With the public availability of ...

Abstract: In this paper, line- and ring-notched small punch test (SPT) specimens were studied; a three-dimensional (3D) model of a ring-notched SPT specimen was established using the contour integral method, and the validity of the ...

Abstract: In order to obtain stable latent functionally thermal fluids for heat transfer and heat storage, microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) suspensions with binary propanol–water mixtures of different proportions as ...

Abstract: Frequency-domain modeling is one of the paramount mathematical techniques for the stability analysis of hydraulic systems. This paper proposes an overall transfer matrix-based frequency-domain model for a hydropower plant ...

Abstract: Cutting edge radius is a crucial factor affecting surface integrity during metal machining, which determines product performance. However, the exact mechanism of how the cutting edge radius affects machined surface has not ...

Abstract: This study proposes a comprehensive experiment-based method to determine stress field and slip lines in metal cutting process. The chip geometry and workpiece's strain and strain rate fields are determined using an in situ ...
