Abstract: The gas diffusion layer (GDL) plays an important role in maintaining suitable water management in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The properties of the gas diffusion layer, such as its ...

Abstract: The nonobjective disadvantages of the force-based frame element, such as the nonobjective curvature prediction, have been discussed by many researchers. The trial-and-error method is commonly used to determine element size, ...

Abstract: In current practices, the elastic design principle for the seismic design of pile foundations is an overly conservative strategy. In this regard, cyclic lateral loading tests were conducted to investigate the seismic failure ...

Abstract: The leakage of drainage pipes is the primary cause of underground cavity formation, and the cavity diameter-to-depth ratio significantly affects the overall stability of roads. However, studies on the quantitative calculation ...

Abstract: The most striking feature of liquid nitrogen (LN2) fracturing is to drastically reduce the temperature around the rock when LN2 is injected into the reservoir. The strong thermal gradient can significantly induce the ...

Abstract: Frequent road collapses caused by water leakages from pipelines pose a severe threat to urban safety and the wellbeing of city residents. Limited research has been conducted on the relationship between pipeline leakage and ...
