Abstract: Based on the accurate analysis of the time history of bridge buffeting responses and considering the nonlinearity factors of the structure and wind load, the non-Gaussian response of a structure is derived. The Hermite ...

Abstract: Conventional non-destructive methods cannot dynamically monitor the steel strands damage evolution process, so acoustic emission technique was proposed to monitor the damage. Experiments on acoustic emission characteristics ...

Abstract: By using both the pseudoelasticity and strain self-sensing ability of shape memory alloy (SMA) material, an innovative smart SMA-based damper can be developed. This damper has comprehensive energy dissipation and strain ...

Abstract: The writers present a framework for increasing the effectiveness of remedial design decision-making at ground-water contamination sites where there is uncertainty in many parameters that affect remediation design. It is ...

Abstract: Phenol and nitrate are two major pollutants simultaneously occurring in several industrial wastewaters. In this study, a 110-day gradual enrichment of an anaerobic culture has been carried out at

Abstract: Vortex-induced vibration of an inclined cable under wind with varying velocity profiles was investigated through computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation. As a complicated fluid-structure interaction issue, the ...

Abstract: To obtain high-quality plastic products, an industrial volume-pulsatile injection-molding (VPIM) machine is developed to achieve high screw displacement amplitude. However, it is difficult for engineers to optimize vibration ...

Abstract: Abstract. A full-flow staged combustion cycle (FFSC) liquid rocket engine can efficiently utilize the propellant energy. However, it increases the demand for turbine mass flowrate and output power. The increased loads will ...
