Abstract: Utilizing superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in alkali activated slag (AAS) can promote internal curing and remarkably alleviate the shrinkage of AAS. This promising additive has attracted considerable attention for its potential ...

Abstract: Circular tubes compressed into the plastic range first buckle into axisymmetric wrinkling. Initially, the wrinkle amplitude grows with increasing load, but induces a gradual reduction in axial ...

Abstract: The influence of current collector on the sudden deterioration phenomena of conventional nickelyttriastabilized zirconia composite solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes operated in hydrogen with high humidity concentration ...

Abstract: Liquid water transport inside proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is one of the key challenges for water management in a PEM fuel cell. Investigation of the air-water flow patterns inside ...

Abstract: This paper presents the fundamental approaches of modeling thermal-hydraulic component briefly. A set of lumped parameter mathematical models is developed, which are based on conservation of mass ...

Abstract: In the present paper, a 5-yr baseline integration for the period 1987?91 was carried out over a Pan-Canadian domain to validate the performance of the third-generation Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM). The CRCM ...

Abstract: Lapping is a key processing step for precision parts, which directly affects machining quality, precision, and efficiency. Due to some drawbacks of free-abrasive lapping such as deep scratches on the lapped surface, lower ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) contribution to the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Pacific Cross-section Intercomparison Project. This experiment constitutes a ...

Abstract: Understanding the contact behaviors of rock joint is of fundamental importance in many rock engineering practices. Most of the available contact models rely on the spatial features of asperity peaks as input parameters, ...
