Abstract: The status of adhesion between asphalt layers affects the development of water damages. Through drilling core investigation of a highway, it is found that there are smoothness between asphalt layers in water damage spots ...

Abstract: Grain boundary (GB) embrittlement by sulfur in fcc CuΣ5(012)[100] symmetrical tilt grain boundary (STGB) is simulated by first-principles calculations. The surface and grain boundary segregation energies are estimated by ...

Abstract: Abstract. Model uncertainty quantification is essential for enhancing the validity of simulations of nonlinear dynamic systems. However, its effectiveness may be significantly affected when experimental or monitoring data ...

Abstract: This study presents a test method to evaluate the durability of the anti-skid performance of asphalt concrete. In this work, the influence of mixture gradation, asphalt-aggregate ratio, and temperature on the texture depth ...

Abstract: A tower-type moving bed can be used as the air reactor in a chemical looping combustion system because of its low-pressure drop and smooth operation. In our previous simulation, a quasi-two-dimensional numerical model was ...
