Abstract: This work investigates the nonsynchronous relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and winter European precipitation. The results indicate that the linkage between early-winter (November and December) NAO ...

Abstract: A new isotropic plastic-damage cap model of concrete is proposed in this study to overcome the limitations (e.g., crack closure behavior) of the existing continuous surface cap (CSC) model in the hydrocode LS-DYNA. ...

Abstract: Due to the complex structure and thermal mismatch of coaxial through silicon via (TSV), cracks easily occur under thermal load, leading to interface delamination or spalling failure. The reliability issue of coaxial TSV ...

Abstract: In the operation of the machine, the tribological properties of the lubricant are apt to deteriorate with temperature elevation. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek a lubricant additive with good high-temperature ...

Abstract: Expansive soils in cut slopes are prone to sliding for a period of time after excavation. They are commonly found during construction in expansive soil subgrade. Their sliding is not directly affected by the height and ...

Abstract: In order to enhance the disaster prevention effect of coal seam water injection technology, in this paper, the structural characteristics of the coal sample under the true mechanical environment of coal seam water injection ...

Abstract: Two new types of printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) channels are proposed based on the typical airfoil fin PCHE channel proposed in literatures (standard channel) to further improve the thermal–hydraulic performances ...

Abstract: Reducing cement usage and replacing it with solid waste in high volume is one of the most important ways for the sustainable development of the cement industry. In the present work, sustainable foamed concrete with a high ...
