Abstract: Apart from spatial variability of soil properties, a geotechnical system can have many other sources of uncertainties. To efficiently analyze such a system in a probabilistic manner, many strategies have been proposed in ...

Abstract: The reflection of projected laser lines may be used to determine the three-dimensional geometry of the reflecting weld pool surface. However, for gas metal arc welding (GMAW), the transfer of ...

Abstract: While the significance of spatially variable soil properties in slope stability assessment is increasingly recognized, the implementation of three-dimensional (3D) probabilistic slope reliability assessment is still hindered ...

Abstract: Saline soil is composed of abundant soluble salts, exhibiting undesirable properties when used in backfill projects. To address the mentioned problem, a hydrophobic polymer with an active ingredient of hydrosiloxane-containing ...

Abstract: In recent years, the random field finite-element method (FEM) has been used increasingly in geotechnical engineering to carry out analyses that account for the inherent spatial variability in the physical and mechanical ...

Abstract: This work investigates commercial vehicle platoon predictive cruise control for highways. We propose a cloud-based platoon predictive cruise control method (CPPCC). A two-layered control architecture of the CPPCC is proposed ...

Abstract: The stability analysis of tunnel faces in multilayered soils presents challenges due to the inherent variability in natural soils. Although the random field finite-element methods offer a reliable approach to address such ...
