Abstract: This technical brief discusses optimum design of a cold extrusion compound container. First, the formulae of stresses for each component in the container and of shrink-fit pressure are derived. ...

Abstract: When a crack is lodged in an inclusion, the difference between the elastic modulus of the inclusion and matrix material will cause the near-tip stress intensity factor to be greater or less ...

Abstract: This study examines the effects of urban land expansion on air pollution in China. Using panel data of Chinese prefecture-level cities and exploring variations in air pollution concentrations, the study results show that ...

Abstract: The control of an overhead crane is a classic optimum control problem, and its solution can be found in most textbooks on the subject of automatic controls. However, there is a design issue ...

Abstract: In this paper, a continuum theory capable of describing the deformation of a cracked body based on Castigliano’s second theorem is presented. The additional deformation due to the crack presence is described by the concept ...

Abstract: Networked multirobot systems under the coordinated control can perform tasks more effectively than a group of individually operating robots. This paper studies the group regional consensus of networked multirobot systems ...

Abstract: The present study attempts to fix the location of thermal throat by employing transverse fuel injection downstream and adding a short constant-area section in the divergent part in a realistic scramjet combustor configuration ...

Abstract: This paper documents the findings from a dynamic collapse experiment carried out on a single-story two-by-two bay reinforced concrete flat-plate substructure. The test specimen had a 0.4 scale, represented older flat-plate ...
