Abstract: Thirty biporous slugs with 3 different cluster diameters and 5 different particle diameters (15 combinations with 2 repetitions) and 12 monoporous slugs with 6 different particle diameters were ...

Abstract: A structural analysis framework called the finite particle method (FPM) for structure failure simulation is presented in this paper. The traditional finite-element method is generated from continuum mechanics and the ...

Abstract: To study the bearing capacity of a silt soil bridge pile foundation in a river estuary, the pile foundation of the Nangang River Bridge in Hainan Province was chosen as the research object of this paper. ABAQUS finite-element ...

Abstract: Programmable instability is crucial to the design of intelligent structures. Origami has inspired new methods of designing spatial truss structures with programmable instability. In this study, the finite-particle method ...

Abstract: A pilot scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) coupled with cross-flow membrane filtration was used to treat low strength municipal wastewater in Singapore. The application of membrane filtration as a polishing unit ...

Abstract: This study considers the goal of expressway traffic incident emergency rescue and proposes an emergency resource configuration optimization method with the objective of minimum total area rescue resources in a network. ...

Abstract: The fire resistance and residual bearing capacity of prestressed concrete (PC) beams after fire exposure are very important to the safety of engineering applications. This study performed experimental investigations and ...
