Abstract: To meet the operation requirements of the 42 T resistive magnet which will be built by the Chinese High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL) in the future, the cooling water system needs to be upgraded accordingly. The cooling ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel self-centering negative stiffness damper (SCNSD), which combines superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) and prepressed springs in parallel for damping enhancement. A mechanical model of the damping ...

Abstract: A novel nonlinear isolation system designed for buildings is proposed to isolate vibrations in the vertical direction. The system is characterized by quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) obtained by combining linear springs in ...

Abstract: In cycling races, overtaking is a crucial maneuver that involves drafting behind and moving to the side of another cyclist. The flow interaction between the cyclists has a very significant impact on the aerodynamic ...

Abstract: For the increasing well plugging in oilfield development, a new unplugging technology is presented in this paper for the downhole plugging by using high voltage pulse wave. Based on the mechanism analysis, the circuit ...
