Abstract: In 1957, Eshelby proved that the strain field within a homogeneous ellipsoidal inclusion embedded in an infinite isotropic media is uniform, when the eigenstrain prescribed in the inclusion is ...

Abstract: To improve the thermal efficiency of a shale-gas engine and reduce the cycle variations in the engine, this study adopts the experimental method and simulation to examine the engine’s combustion process and cycle variations ...

Abstract: Most studies of road travel time estimation have been based on traffic-flow theory or data-driven methods and generally neglect the influence of urban built environment on road travel time. A global regression model and a ...

Abstract: The coaxial compound helicopter has been offered as an idea for a high-performance rotorcraft that possesses high-speed qualities that conventional helicopters do not. This work seeks to create a flight dynamics model of ...

Abstract: For hybrid finite elements based, for example, on complementary energy functional, polynomial trial functions of stress fields are required. Systematic schemes are given for the 2D and 3D ...

Abstract: The objective of the present work is to investigate experimentally and numerically the influences of surface roughness, produced by typical machining processes, on friction performances in ...

Abstract: On the basis of critical state soil mechanics, this study derives theoretical formulas for predicting the undrained shear strength of

Abstract: Soil loss during tunneling may induce the ground deformation. The loss volume depends on tunneling methods, soil types, workmanship, etc. The movement pattern along the tunnel section can be separated into two parts: one ...

Abstract: -lay is widely accepted as a favorable method for deepwater pipeline installation. The configuration and internal force of the pipeline during the laying process are key factors for its safety, and the embedment induced ...

Abstract: Although chute aerators have been investigated experimentally by many researchers, only a few studies have been conducted on the comprehensive air–water flow properties of the lower jet downstream chute aerators. In this ...
