Abstract: He total construction process of three-span composite steel box-concrete continuous girder bridge having varied cross-section was analyzed by using spatial finite element method. The external prestressing effect on flexural ...

Abstract: Extending the workspace of cable robots can enhance their motion ability and help us make fuller use of their potential. This work designs a novel cable robot and utilizes cable slackness to extend its workspace. First, ...

Abstract: Ice friction is one of the major technical issues in almost every application involving ice as one of the moving parts. Very few studies have placed emphasis on the effects of temperature on ice friction at low velocities, ...

Abstract: Frac-driven interactions (FDIs) often lead to sharp decline in gas and oil production rates of wells in shale gas/oil reservoirs. How to minimize the FDI is an open problem in the oil and gas industry. Xiao et al.’s (2019, ...

Abstract: T-junctions have been applied in water-control structures. A comprehensive understanding of shunt characteristics can contribute to the optimal design of T-junctions. In this work, we seek to understand the shunt ratio of ...

Abstract: The co-gasification characteristics of petroleum coke (PC), hydrochar (PS), and their blends with different ratios were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis. The Coats–Redfern model was employed to calculate the ...

Abstract: Vacuum venting is a method proposed to improve feature replication in microparts that are fabricated using microinjection molding (MIM). A qualitative and quantitative study has been carried out to investigate the effect ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation and prediction studies on horizontal well performances in gas reservoir are foundation for optimizing horizontal well completion process. To gain more understanding on this theory, a steady-state ...
