Abstract: We present a passive controllable negative modulus metamaterial based on a split hollow sphere (SHS) with multiple holes. The metamaterial is obtained by changing the number of split holes. The experimental results show ...

Abstract: A new kind of sandwiched composite membrane (SCM) for lithiumion batteries is prepared by depositing zirconia microparticle between two layers of electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoridecohexafluoropropylene) (PVdFHFP) nanofibers ...

Abstract: Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is an efficient and clean conversion of biomass due to the unique chemical and physical properties. Anthracene and furfural are the key intermediates in SCWG, and their microscopic ...

Abstract: Since the 21st century, the international engineering contracting industry has been developing rapidly. A growing number of contractors have entered the international market to engage in various business fields, leading ...

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: Large-scale tests on concrete-filled double-skin tubes, composed of pairs of concentric cold-formed rectangular hollow section members with the annulus between them filled with grout, are performed under air-blast loading. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the bond durability of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars, steel–fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bars (SFCB), and steel bars embedded in seawater sea-sand ...

Abstract: The K-edge technique is a nondestructive analysis (NDA) method that provides key data for nuclear material accountancy, mainly for the measurement of U and Pu concentrations in spent fuel reprocessing processes, with an ...
