Abstract: The natural boundary conditions for corners of a certain type of twodimensional problem are derived from the variational principle. A plate problem formulated by the principle of minimum potential energy belongs to this ...

Abstract: Abstract In this study, an improved Johnson–Holmquist rock blasting damage model was established through field tests and numerical simulations, and the model parameters were verified by comparing with the results of ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new efficient reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) method is proposed for structures, in which the double-loop optimization is equivalently decoupled into a sequential process based on a performance ...

Abstract: Landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) often experience drastic changes in their motion, intensity, and structure due to complex multiscale interactions among atmospheric processes and among the coastal ocean, land, and ...
