Abstract: Rigid retaining walls with polyline backs are possibly used in filling engineering, and some types of these walls may have better stability than ordinary gravity walls with planar backs. Aiming at the active earth pressure ...

Abstract: Rodfastened rotors are composed of some disks clamped together by a central tie rod or several tie rods distributed along the circumference. Due to the nonlinear flexural stiffness of the contact interfaces in disks, ...

Abstract: The curved failure surface in the soil retained with a rigid wall is common if the soil is in the passive limit state. Based on the assumption that the critical slip surface is a log-spiral shape, the nonlinear distribution ...

Abstract: A new structural system, called steel frame with cold-formed steel shear infill walls (SFIW), is developed by using cold-formed steel shear walls with steel sheathing plates on both sides as infill walls in steel frame. ...

Abstract: Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) Brayton cycle has been widely used as a substitute for traditional steam cycles. As one of the key components of power-dense turbomachines, dry gas seal (DGS) has been considered one of ...

Abstract: The flexibility of the casing plays an important role in the dynamic response of the gas turbine rotor. The effect of the support parameters on the dynamic stiffness of the supporting components must be considered. While ...
