Abstract: Adequate knowledge of the in situ state of stress can be essential to the analysis of geotechnical systems. However, the measurement and prediction of

Abstract: Repetitive loading can induce volumetric and shear strain accumulation in soils and affect the long-term performance of engineered and natural geosystems. A hybrid numerical scheme based on the FEM is implemented to analyze ...

Abstract: In this experimental study, we are presenting the ability of laser-induced plasmas with successive pulsation to identify combustion instabilities (CI) of a premixed lab-scale combustor. An acoustic disturbance equivalent ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an equivalent suspension bridge model for the preliminary design of support towers of suspension bridges. In this simplified model, the bridge is composed of its support towers, with equivalent springs ...

Abstract: In this experimental study, we are presenting the ability of laser-induced plasmas with successive pulsation to identify combustion instabilities (CI) of a premixed lab-scale combustor. An acoustic disturbance equivalent ...

Abstract: A planar anode-supported electrolyte was fabricated using a tape casting method that involved a single step cofiring process. A standard NiO∕8YSZ cermet anode, 8mol% YSZ electrolyte, and a ...

Abstract: Nanocrystalline ceria-doped scandia-stabilized zirconia (1Ce10ScSZ) powders were prepared via the co-precipitation process for solid oxide fuel cell. The effects of the calcination temperature on ...

Abstract: Filtration and backwashing during the operation of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) physically induce the cyclic attachment and detachment of microbes on the membrane surface. Thus, permeate flux and backwashing affect the ...
