Abstract: AbstractConstruction industrialization has become an important topic recently but is not in smooth progress in practice, one of the reasons being lack of the effective supply chain management (SCM). As a distributed ledger ...

Abstract: Theoretical analysis is performed for the sound radiation of a cylindrical power transformer composed of piezoelectric transducers with radial polarization. The transformer is driven in thicknessstretch mode, and an exact ...

Abstract: AbstractThe long-term structural integrity of steel cables is significantly compromised by cumulative damage and potential low-cycle fatigue failure caused by repeated impacts, but the complex dynamics of their helical ...

Abstract: Abstract Extreme pitting depths in bridge cable steel wires serve as fatigue crack initiation sites, making accurate assessment crucial for failure risk prediction. Existing methods require rust removal and cable disassembly, ...

Abstract: Scavenging mechanical energy from the deformation of roadways using piezoelectric energy transformers has been intensively explored and exhibits a promising potential for engineering applications. We propose here a new ...

Abstract: Abstract. Six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) nanopositioning stages are indispensable in precision engineering. However, these stages currently exhibit significant crosstalk, which degrades their accuracy. This study proposes ...
