Abstract: A novel synchronization scheme called special hybrid projective synchronization (SHPS), in which different state variables can synchronize up to same positive or negative scaling factors, is proposed in this paper. For all ...

Abstract: Coal ash inevitably forms deposits as combustion residue on the walls and heat transfer surfaces of coalfired boilers. Ash deposits decrease the boiler efficiency, reduce the generating capacity, and cause unscheduled ...

Abstract: The coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K) for normally consolidated clays increases nonlinearly with increasing consolidation pressure toward a steady value under high pressure rather than remaining constant. Analytical ...

Abstract: Interfacial layers greatly influence the performance of steel–aluminum friction stir welding (FSW) joints, and understanding the formation and evolution of intermetallic compounds (IMC) can help improve the mechanical ...

Abstract: Three-point bending specimen with fixed constraints is a novel small specimen test technique, which can simultaneously obtain creep deformation and creep fracture data. However, the current research only focused on the ...

Abstract: AbstractPhysics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have prevailed as an effective universal function approximator to solve a wide range of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) and ordinary differential equations ...

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper, 2,5-dimercaptothiadiazole mixed phosphate diamine salt (SNP), an antiwear additive, was formulated via stepwise temperature-controlled amination. Its structure and thermal stability were characterized ...
