Abstract: AbstractAs an effective reinforcement additive, basalt fiber improves the crack resistance of asphalt mixtures by enhancing their structural integrity. This study utilizes digital image correlation (DIC) technology and ...

Abstract: Abstract. Contact temperature plays a crucial role in friction and wear behavior. In this study, a multiscale model is developed to directly calculate the contact temperature distribution in line contacts under boundary ...

Abstract: A numerical method for modifying cylindrical roller profile was proposed to smooth axial pressure distributions of finite line contacts under the mixed lubrication regime. The mixed lubrication model, in which the Reynolds ...

Abstract: The design, construction, and characterization of a solar simulator are reported. The solar simulator consists of an optical system, a power source system, an air cooling system, a control system, and a calibration system. ...

Abstract: AbstractAs global warming intensifies, both the frequency and magnitude of extreme precipitation events have undergone significant changes, leading to a widespread manifestation of nonstationary characteristics in extreme ...
