Abstract As a new grinding and maintenance technology, rail belt grinding shows significant advantages in many applications. The dynamic characteristics of the rail belt grinding vehicle largely determines its grinding p...

Abstract Based on the advantages of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) porous structures, extensive research on NiTi shape memory alloy TPMS scaffolds has been conducted. However, the current reports about TPMS porou...

The main objectives of the study are to develop a new adaptive geometric method for real-time monitoring of industrial electricity consumption schedules to ensure timely detection of structural imbalances and minimizatio...

The Wilcoxon rank sum nonparametric statistical test is introduced to establish an evaluation model for identifying structural domain boundaries in jointed rock masses. A new method for identifying structural domain boun...

Abstract The development of sustainable infrastructure in Nigeria requires the effective use of native timber species in designed constructions. This study assesses the structural integrity of glue-laminated timber (Glul...

3D printing is used to produce different permeability structural surfaces, and rock-like samples are poured by moulds. The tests on permeability of rock-like samples with consecutive and filling fractures are carried out...

La obra del Arq. Luis García Pardo es variada y prolífica. Este trabajo busca identificar las estrategias estructurales desarrolladas para el diseño de sus cuatro edificios de vivienda colectiva construidos en Punta d...

Abstract High-end equipment always operate in low-speed and heavy-load working environments, highlighting the need for cam-lobe hydraulic motors with excellent speed stability (< 1 r/min) and ultrahigh-power rotary outpu...

Nature has had millions of years to optimize photonic crystals - an endeavour mankind only really began in the 1980s. Often, we attempt to mimic and expand upon nature’s designs in creating photonic structures that mee...

Abstract Robotic splicing of steel arches is a challenging task that is necessary to realize the grasping and docking of steel arches in a limited space. Steel arches often have a mass of more than 200 kg and length of m...

The Zulfikar sword is a highly standardized sacred weapon symbol in Shia visual culture, forming a stable iconographic lineage across the Middle East and the Irano-Ottoman world. However, it is notably absent from Chines...

Abstract In three-dimensional free-bending forming (3D-FBF), the tube is not overly constrained, and the plastic deformation behavior and forming quality of the bent tube are significantly affected by the critical struct...

Accurate, region-specific mechanical properties of pipeline girth welded joints are fundamental for structural safety design and integrity assessment. This study focuses on X80 pipeline girth welded joints, integrating m...

High-end magnetron sputtering targets serve as the core foundational materials for fabricating critical functional films used in integrated circuits and flat panel displays. China currently faces a high external dependen...

Abstract The recirculating planetary roller screw mechanism (RPRSM) is a transmission mechanism that engages the screw and nut threaded by multiple grooved rollers. In this paper, firstly, the design method of RPRSM nut ...

Abstract The use of non-smart materials in structural components and kinematic pairs allows for flexible assembly in practical applications and is promising for aerospace applications. However, this approach can result i...

Abstract Biological load-bearing materials, like the nacre in shells, have a unique staggered structure that supports their superior mechanical properties. Engineers have been encouraged to imitate it to create load-bear...

In roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ships, lashing devices are essential for securing vehicles. However, conventional installation processes significantly increase shipbuilding costs. To enhance production efficiency, this study...

The present work investigates the compressive mechanical response of three lattice structures manufactured via VAT photopolymerization. A bio-inspired architecture, derived from the observation of Euplectella aspergillum...

Abstract The cast aluminum beam is a key structure for carrying the body-hung traction motor of a high-speed train; its fatigue property is fundamental for predicting the residual life and service mileage of the structur...

The widespread use of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in sectors such as aerospace and aviation calls for the adoption of sustainable recycling protocols. This research evaluates the mechanical and tomo...

Abstract The Broad Learning System (BLS) provides an effective framework for nonlinear mapping, offering advantages over traditional deep neural networks through its expanded input node architecture. While BLS has demons...

This study investigates the structural, optical, dielectric, and electromagnetic absorption properties of spinel-structured Mg–ZnAl2O4 synthesized through a sol–gel technique. The structural analysis confirmed the pr...

This benchmark case study introduces recently developed state-of-the-art general purpose multi-modal nonstationary reliability assessment method for marine, offshore, and naval structures, suitable for physically measure...
