Abstract: Bridge deck pavement is suffered from more complicated stresses than ordinary pavement, and mechanical states of the paving layers are influenced by material design parameters. After mechanical computation, the effects of ...

Abstract: This study evaluated the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model sensitivity to different planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes (the YSU and MYJ schemes) and urban schemes including the bulk scheme (BULK), single-layer ...

Abstract: During the operation period, soils surrounding a cross-river tunnel are under persistent disturbance owing to heat conduction, resulting in a change in the microstructure and engineering properties. Long term observations ...

Abstract: Using the interval finite-element method, the vibration control problem of structures with interval parameters is discussed, which is approximated by a deterministic one. Based on the first-order Taylor expansion, a method ...

Abstract: Cutting process modeling is still a significant challenge due to the severe plastic deformation of the workpiece and intense friction between the workpiece and tool. Nowadays, a novel experimental approach based on digital ...

Abstract: Hard turning is becoming increasingly considered by industry as a potential substitute for grinding. However, it is greatly hurdled by surface integrity problems such as tensile residual stress and white layer, which are ...

Abstract: Abstract. Machining of silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum matrix (SiCp/Al) composites is challenging due to the complex interactions between the cutting tool and silicon carbide (SiC) particles, which critically ...

Abstract: Abstract. SiCp particle-reinforced Al (SiCp/Al) metal matrix composites offer excellent mechanical properties but are prone to surface defects during machining due to microstructure non-uniformity. Accurate surface roughness ...

Abstract: Based on the observation that many surfaces of revolution can be treated as a canal surface, i.e., the envelope surface of a one-parameter family of spheres, the analytical expressions of the ...
