Abstract: This paper investigates the use of the nonlinearity of acceleration measurements to bridge damage identification. Delay vector variance (DVV) method is applied to analyze the measured dynamic responses and to identify ...

Abstract: Reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) at engine high load operating conditions is investigated in this study. The effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and boost pressure on RCCI combustion were studied ...

Abstract: In this paper we extend the M-integral concept (, 1956, The Continuum Theory of Lattice Defects, Solid State Physics, F. Seitz and D. Turnbull, eds., Academic, New York, pp. 79–141; , 1970, ...

Abstract: Porous materials with welldefined pore shapes, sizes and distributions are highly desired in many emerging applications, particularly for biomedical materials and devices. However, conventional methods for processing porous ...

Abstract: The dual fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) concept has been successfully demonstrated to be a promising, more controllable, high efficiency, and cleaner combustion mode. A multidimensional computational ...

Abstract: The southern China (SC) summer rainfall exhibits prominent intraseasonal variability, which exhibits a significant increase in the early 1990s with the turning point at 1993. The SC intraseasonal rainfall events could be ...

Abstract: In this study, the interaction of a parabolic notch with a generalized antiplane singularity is studied, and its analytical solution is derived. The singularity may be either an antiplane concentrated force or a screw ...
