Abstract: Pavement grooving is an accepted remedial measure to improve skid resistance and reduce crash rates on horizontal curves. However, besides experience-based guidelines, currently no mechanistic procedure is available for ...

Abstract: Understanding the buckling and post-buckling behavior of rods confined in a finite space is of both scientific and engineering significance. Under uniaxial compression, an initially straight and slender rod confined in a ...

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, a weighted least squares–based meshless improved method (WLS-MLIM) is proposed to investigate the mechanical behaviors of oil–gas wells. In the proposed WLS-MLIM, the nodal displacement components ...
