Abstract: Uncertainty is the general state of modern project scheduling, and fuzzy numbers are the main theme to resolve uncertain project scheduling problems. Traditional fuzzy numbers can represent uncertain information values of ...

Abstract: The rapid and accurate identification of steel strand tension is critical in ensuring the safety of load-bearing structures and structural members, such as bridge cables. Ultrasonic-guided waves (UGWs) have a reasonable ...

Abstract: In this study, model tests on the collapse of sand granular columns are designed to investigate the relationship between the initial stacking height and the maximum run-out distance of the granular column, and the results ...

Abstract: Abstract Long-span prestressed concrete continuous bridges are prone to excessive deflection at the main span during long-term operation, which often interacts with cracking issues. To address this challenge, this paper ...

Abstract: Abstract. The complex structure, infinite degrees-of-freedom, and nonlinearity of soft actuators make dynamic modeling one of the most challenging tasks in the field of soft robotics. Furthermore, few studies on general ...

Abstract: With rapid economic development in recent decades, long-span bridges have increasingly attracted attention worldwide. The invention of UHPC (ultrahigh performance concrete) materials has brought more alternatives for ...

Abstract: The detection of surface damage is an important part of the process before remanufacturing a retired steel shaft (RSS). Traditional damage detection is mainly done manually, which is time-consuming and error-prone. In ...
