Engine isolate mounts such as laminated high damping elastomeric bearings, commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications, provide a simple means of isolating the structure of car/aircraft from the engine motions. The key properties of the elastomer are dynamic modulus and damping. The effect...

As industrial structures rapidly change and international competitive pressure becomes increasingly large, Taiwan's industries face a bottleneck of structural transformation and technological innovation. In addition, as the international oil price increases, the price of electricity goes up and production...

Locks may be inserted during the production of certain auto lock-parts. Warpage of auto lock-parts during injection molding is the most critical problem facing product quality. This warpage is mostly affected by the processing parameters and design of the injection mold. In this paper, the influences...

In order to remove the motion blur in sequential images of bullets taken in the penetration test, firstly we found out the relationship among the degradation model, direction of motion and blurred length of a bullet image in this paper. Then the radon transformation was used to found out the direction...

This study elaborated the process management and quality control of three typical major isolation retrofit projects in the construction stage of base seismic isolation by migrating the building load entrusted by the temporary pile to seismic isolation devices. About the process management, support ground...

This contribution compares concrete structure design results obtained via the partial reliability factor method and using a probability-based method. The Monte Carlo simulation method, modified by the Latin Hypercube Sampling method, was used to calculate the reliability of a designed structure. Economic...

The existence of fissures is an important factor in expansive soil slope landslide under rainfall conditions. In order to explore the changes characteristic of expansive soil slope seepage field and its stability under rainfall conditions, considering the fissures, the finite element numerical simulation...

When liquid presents between solid contact hydrophilic surfaces, the formed macro/micro menisci cause inherit adhesive force due to surface tension. Such adhesive force may lead high friction and adhesion and cause system failure of many mechanical systems, and thus liquid caused high adhesion is one...

Under rain-wind conditions, rain-wind induced vibration on high-voltage transmission line often occurs, this kind of vibration intensifies the fatigue of high-voltage conductors and tower collapse. The mechanism of rain-wind induced has aroused wind attention in power engineering. The presence of raindrops...

Based on the constitutive equation and deformation equation, the total stiffness matrix of laminated composite beam with T-section are built up by using the relation of 3D stress-stain transformation. Then calculation methods of the axial and bending stiffness of laminated composite beam with T-section...

Light wood-frame house is still developing in China and systematic research on light wood-frame house has yet to be carried out. In this paper, the analysis model of wood-frame shear walls is set by using ABAQUS. In terms of finite element program's computing results, the effect of opening size and location...

the paper substantiates the necessity of the CFD analysis of the underwater vehicle. Algorithm of hydrodynamic coefficients computation is presented. The initial conditions and environment model for computation are defined. Authors discuss results of simulation and propose the approach of hydrodynamic...

Most multiphase flow models use viscosity as an important parameter, however, the viscosity of mixed fluid sometimes is unavailable or difficult to measure especially in small-scale flowing condition. In order to solve this problem, a two-phase wedge-sliding model is developed in this paper and this...
