Abstract: A series of repeated loading nanoindentation experiments were performed on muscovite with a sharp indenter tip and loading direction normal to the basal plane, and the maximum load (

Abstract: In this paper, an approach is developed for active vibration control of flexible rectangular plate structures using control theory. The flexible rectangular plate system is first modeled through a new type of modeling ...

Abstract: Optimal control method for seismic-excited linear structures with time delay in control is investigated in this paper. Using zero-order holder, the continuous time differential equation with time delay can be transformed ...

Abstract: Traditional water distribution simulations, known as demand-driven analysis (DDA), are normally analyzed under the assumption that nodal demands are known and satisfied. The DDA is valid under normal conditions and in ...

Abstract: In this work, an innovative lobe-type rear variable area bypass injector is proposed, which can take into account both mixing exhaust performance to increase thrust at a high Bypass Ratio (BR), and bypass throttling at low ...

Abstract: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes asphalt aging and thus influences its performance. In this research, a composite light stabilizer was prepared to increase the light stability of matrix asphalt. Benzotriazole UV absorber ...

Abstract: A computational methodology for modeling spatial flexible mechanical systems with stick-slip friction in a spherical clearance joint is presented. A modified three-dimensional (3D) absolute nodal coordinate formulation ...

Abstract: The current work evaluates the effectiveness of the pressure-corrected osculating axisymmetric flows method in the design of hypersonic wavecatcher intakes with shape transition. The original osculating axisymmetric flows ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a extend linear equivalent method that can extend the linear equivalent micropolar beam model to the nonlinear equivalent micropolar beam model to analyze nonlinear vibration for large space truss ...
