Abstract: Abstract Starting from bridge design to the construction stage, accumulation of multiple errors related to manufacturing, installation, material properties, and other factors results in deviations between the actual completed ...

Abstract: Abstract Resource-based urban areas face a critical challenge: cutting high carbon emissions from long-term resource exploitation while transforming economically and meeting dual carbon goals. Since mixed land use affects ...

Abstract: A finite volume time domain method is developed for inplane vibration based on mixed triangular and quadrilateral elements. Here the linear quadrilateral element shape function is introduced instead of the constant one to ...

Abstract: The gas flow characteristics in rectangular cross section converging–diverging micronozzles incorporating the effect of threedimensional (3D) rough surface topography are investigated. The fractal geometry is utilized ...

Abstract: Scale effect on the tensioninduced intermodal coupling between the flexural modes in nanomechanical resonators is investigated. Based on the nonlocal theory of elasticity, a theoretical model is developed to depict the ...

Abstract: Slant edge cracked effect considering the inherent relation between surface energy and mixedmode crack propagations on the free transverse vibrations of nanobeams with surface effect is investigated. First, the slant edge ...

Abstract: Pumping tests are commonly used to estimate aquifer parameters during field work. Classical pumping tests are mainly classified into two general types: constant-rate pumping tests and constant-head pumping tests. However, ...

Abstract: Highcapacity anodes, such as Si, have attracted tremendous research interest over the last two decades because of the requirement for the high energy density of nextgeneration lithiumion batteries (LIBs). The mechanical ...
