Abstract: The ring-core method is often used in residual stress analysis. It is applied to macro- and microscale stress analysis and has a unique advantage of releasing the residual stress across the core instead of at a single ...

Abstract: Wave energy converters (WECs) are built to extract wave energy. However, this kind of device is still expensive for commercial utilization. To cut down the cost of WECs by sharing the construction cost with breakwaters, ...

Abstract: AbstractFatigue damage is a fundamental type of failure in concrete structural components under cyclic alternating loads. Concrete fatigue experiments are challenging and time-consuming, and hence, conducting numerical ...

Abstract: Abstract Postconstruction problems—such as low foundation strength, postconstruction settlement, and extended settlement durations—must be addressed when building structures on peat foundations. In previous engineering ...
