Abstract: The tangential contact stiffness of cylindrical asperities is investigated using macroand micromechanisms in this study. A microanalysis model is developed and the tangential contact stiffness of elliptically parabolic ...

Abstract: AbstractRecently, adaptive intersection signal control methods based on artificial intelligence (AI) have garnered substantial research interest. As these studies progress, the practical feasibility of AI-driven intersection ...

Abstract: AbstractVehicle delays at signalized intersections exhibit complex stochastic characteristics. These delays arise from the interactions between vehicle arrival patterns and traffic signal operations, forming dynamic ...

Abstract: Vibration-based methods are promising for damage identification; however, their capabilities for damage identification under temperature variations are usually limited. In the paper, a vibration-based nondestructive global ...

Abstract: Flexible base asphalt pavements have been used widely in high grade roads in China. The fatigue performance is one of the most important properties for asphalt-treated base mixtures. Firstly, five kinds of asphalt mixtures ...

Abstract: Equi-amplitude fatigue loading experiments on five reinforced concrete T-beams were conducted to observe the fatigue damage development. Three stages of fatigue damage were seen in the experiments. The damage rapidly ...

Abstract: AbstractModern distribution systems, characterized by high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs), flexible loads, and reconfigurable topologies, present increasing challenges for accurate system observation ...
