Abstract: A refined molecular life prediction scheme for singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), taking into consideration C–C bond rotation and preexisting strain under mechanical loads, is proposed. The timedependent fracture ...

Abstract: Fracture–vug carbonate formations are significant oil and gas reservoirs in China, Middle East, and North America. During development, it is required to connect between hydraulic fracture and as many vugs as possible which ...

Abstract: The shape function of the finite elementleast square point interpolation method (FELSPIM) combines the quadrilateral element for partition of unity and the least square point interpolation method (LSPIM) for local ...

Abstract: A dynamic model of a pantographcatenary system is established. In the model, motion of the pantograph is coupled with that of the catenary by friction. Stability of the pantographcatenary system is studied using the finite ...

Abstract: In this work, an experimental and numerical study is performed to understand squeal generation and suppression of a padondisk friction system. Several friction material specimens having various orientation degrees of grooves ...

Abstract: The Northern Aerosol Regional Climate Model (NARCM) was used to construct a 44-yr climatology of spring Asian dust aerosol emission, column loading, deposition, trans-Pacific transport routes, and budgets during 1960?2003. ...

Abstract: o quantify and explain effects of different land surface schemes (LSSs) on simulated geopotential height (GPH) fields, we performed simulations over China for the summer of 2003 using 12-member ensembles with the Weather ...
