Abstract: Nuclear fuel rods operate under complex radioactive, thermal, and mechanical conditions. Nowadays, fuel rod codes usually make great simplifications on analyzing the multiphysics behavior of fuel rods. The present study ...

Abstract: Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is one of the most significant reduced-order modeling (ROM) techniques in fluid mechanics. However, the application of POD based reduced-order models (POD-ROMs) ...

Abstract: To research the compatibility and adhesion of rubber asphalt, the correlation of the asphalt components and rubber content with conventional properties of rubber asphalt was analyzed. The effects of asphalt component, ...

Abstract: In order to achieve a quantitative evaluation of adhesion from the microscopic point of view, based on the variation law of the contact angle in the process of asphalt spreading at the aggregate surface, an evaluation index ...

Abstract: Asphalt materials including binder, mortar, and mixture are extensively used in the field of pavement engineering due to their obvious viscoelastic properties. To study the phase-transition temperature (Tp) of asphalt ...
