Abstract: High-precision ice thickness observations are required to gain a better understanding of ocean?ice?atmosphere interactions and to validate numerical sea ice models. A new apparatus for monitoring sea ice and snow thickness ...

Abstract: Ice strain dominates the ice thrust and dynamics on reservoir dams and retaining structures. An exclusively designed laser range finder was deployed to measure the surface ice displacements along six directions at a reservoir ...

Abstract: Abstract The issue of fatigue cracking in double-sided welded closed U-rib orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) is a global problem that limits the service life and structural safety of steel bridges. To enhance the fatigue ...

Abstract: Abstract. Electrically assisted forming is an up-and-coming manufacturing method. Thermally and electrically assisted friction and wear tests were conducted on 7075 aluminum alloy sheets using a self-developed thermal and ...
