Abstract: The force analogy method which has been proven to be very efficient in dynamic analysis of inelastic structures is here introduced for the first time into the field of stochastic dynamic analysis for inelastic structures. ...

Abstract: Optical diagnostics techniques to measure diesel combustion flame temperatures are useful for evaluation and control of combustion processes. In this paper, diesel combustion flame temperatures are ...

Abstract: In soil conditioning for earth pressure balance shield tunneling, foam is commonly used as an essential material to meet the requirements of tunnel excavation and soil migration. However, the interaction between foam bubbles ...

Abstract: In shallow water regions, ocean waves commonly propagate in the form of cnoidal waves, with the response induced in the seabed obviously being different from that involving conventional linear waves. Computational models ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of research on the electrochemical realkalization (ER) of carbonated concrete with fly ash and slag. The results show that the realkalization depth in concrete increases with an increase in ...

Abstract: Ultrasonic seismic methods can be used in the condition assessment of bridge decks by evaluating changes in material characteristics and detecting the development of defects and zones of deterioration. The impact-echo ...

Abstract: V-port ball valves have been widely utilized as a control device in various fluid transmission systems, achieving the function of throttling and controlling the flow direction effectively. However, the flow characteristics ...

Abstract: In the gas turbines, the blade tip is difficult to be cooled down due to the complex flow and the intense heat transfer process here. Phantom cooling has been considered a kind of second-order cooling effect to help protect ...

Abstract: Frictional energy piles have been emerging as a proenvironmental means in the industry to exploit shallow geothermal energy. A growing concern for energy piles is their bearing capacity typically subjected to temperature ...

Abstract: The coherence of axial force between steel struts in excavation (axial force coherence) is an important factor affecting the axial force control of servo struts. To understand the law of axial force loss of adjacent struts ...
