Abstract: A new failure mechanism established from a streamline velocity field with energy dissipation through an internal deformable zone and the velocity discontinuity at its boundary is proposed. The application of the developed ...

Abstract: Road surface maintenance is a difficult problem in traffic management due to the interference with traffic. Considering the irrational road surface maintenance scheme in practice, a bilevel simulation–optimization model ...

Abstract: Digital twins (DTs) link physical and virtual spaces, providing analytical and diagnostic value for built assets. Despite DT’s potential benefits, its adoption in the construction industry is nascent, hindered by underexplored ...

Abstract: A polyethylene pipe reinforced by winding steel wires (PSP) has been widely used in the petroleum, chemical, and water supply industries. The PSP has outstanding mechanical properties due to its unique composite structure. ...
