Abstract: This paper proposes a simple, practical method of three‐dimensional stability analysis for concave slopes in plan view using the equilibrium concept. The force equilibrium and the moment equilibrium conditions over failure ...

Abstract: In the present work, we present an improved version of the directforcing immersed boundary (IB) method proposed in Wang and Zhang (2011, “An Immersed Boundary Method Based on Discrete Stream Function Formulation for ...

Abstract: Asymmetric flexible machining system has been widely used in numerical control machining. In traditional milling dynamics model, the cutter feed direction is usually defined as parallel to its vibration DOF, while the ...

Abstract: A general calibration method of cutter runout and specific cutting force coefficients (SCFCs) for flat-end cutter is proposed in this paper, and a high accuracy of cutting force prediction during peripheral milling is ...

Abstract: A hybrid power system consisting of an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and a lithium-ion battery is conceptually designed for water taxi applications. The sizing method of such a hybrid system is ...

Abstract: Driving behavior is closely related to several aspects of traffic research. Individual difference is an important factor that degrades the accuracy of driving behavior research. The individual characteristics of driving ...

Abstract: AbstractThe characteristics of 24-h official forecast errors (OFEs) of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity are analyzed over the North Atlantic, east Pacific, and western North Pacific. The OFE is demonstrated to be strongly ...
