Abstract: Buildings consume large amounts of energy, and lighting and maintaining a comfortable temperature consume a substantial amount of this energy. It is of significance to dwell on creative technology that takes advantage of ...

Abstract: Rutting of asphalt pavement is the accumulation of plastic deformations and is one of its major distresses and concerns. To date, rutting of asphalt pavement cannot be accurately predicted because of the complex material ...

Abstract: Optical fibers are drawn from preforms (fused silica glass rods) typically made up of two concentric cylinders (the core rod and the clad tube), which are usually joined in a separate fusion ...

Abstract: Examination of existing joint designs for robot wrist applications has indicated that a spherical wrist motor offers a major performance advantage in trajectory planning and control as compared ...

Abstract: Optical fibers are drawn from preforms (fused silica glass rods) typically made up of two concentric cylinders (the core rod and the clad tube), which are usually joined in a separate fusion ...

Abstract: The full-range debonding process of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–generic material substrate interface with mechanical end anchorages requires a better understanding. In this study, we developed a nonlinear semianalytical ...
