Abstract: The three-component force coefficient of a streamlined bridge section that varies with the Reynolds number (Re) was numerically simulated based on the computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT in studying the Re effect ...

Abstract: The control of geometric shapes is well acknowledged as one of the facile routes to regulate properties of graphene. Here, we conduct a theoretical study on the evaporation-driven self-folding of a single piece of graphene ...

Abstract: Polyethylene (PE) pipe is widely used for oil and gas transportation. Slow crack growth (SCG) is the main failure mechanism of PE pipes. Current SCG resistance testing methods for PE pipes have significant drawbacks, ...

Abstract: The existing flexible cable dynamics model, established using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF), suffers from the issue of strain coupling. It also does not consider the nonlinear mechanical properties inside ...

Abstract: In vitro simulation of three-dimensional (3D) shoulder motion using in vivo kinematics obtained from human subjects allows investigation of clinical conditions in the context of physiologically relevant biomechanics. Herein, ...

Abstract: Polyethylene pipe reinforced by winding steel wires (PSP) is a new type of polymer–matrix composite pipe that is widely used in petroleum, chemical engineering, and water supply, etc. PSP is composed of a high-density ...

Abstract: An experimental and simulation study on mechanical properties and cracking behavior of zinc film on 2Cr13 steel is carried out. The three-point bend with the acoustic emission technique and uniaxial tension tests were ...
