Abstract: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) has a unique structure and properties. They offer a higher yield and ultimate tensile strengths but lower ductility than traditionally processed samples. ...

Abstract: An improved analytical derivation was present on the drift motion of small rigid floating objects of arbitrary shapes under regular surface waves. The approach follows the slope-sliding model but with two new developments: ...

Abstract: The viscoelastic damping materials (VDMs) used in the viscoelastic (VE) damping equipment may undergo thermal-oxidative aging during long-time exposure to complicated working environments and exhibit significant property ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unified framework for best-fitting of complex rigid surface to measured 3-D coordinate data by adjusting its location (position/orientation). For a point expressed in the ...

Abstract: The head region of the Yellow River is the key area where climate change would affect the hydrological process, since it is in a high elevation and cold area. Temperature and precipitation are two important meteorologic ...

Abstract: The principal purpose of this paper is to develop a new analytical method for the shear lag problem of T-beams. The flange slab of a T-beam is simplified into a plane stress plate. A system of Hamilton dual equations of ...

Abstract: A modified multiscale method without constitutive equation is proposed to investigate the microscopic information and macroscopic flow properties of polymeric fluid with the memory effect between parallel plates. In this ...

Abstract: The mechanical properties of viscoelastic (VE) dampers directly affect the aseismic performance of viscoelastically damped structures; therefore, it is of great significance to accurately describe the nonlinear mechanical ...
