Trucking is an important production link in most open-pit mines, and its transportation cost accounts for more than 50% of the total production cost of open-pit mines. The quality of the driver’s driving behavior plays a crucial role in the fin...

To apply the discrete element method (DEM) to simulate the interaction process between soda saline–alkali soil and subsoiling component in Northeast China, establishing the soda saline–alkali soil particle model and selecting more accurat...

This research aims to investigate steering feel by analyzing a steering system and an electric power steering logic. First, steering feel is defined based on previous research, and methods for evaluating it are discussed. Second, a sensitivity analys...

Due to the present trend in the wind industry to operate in deep seas, floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are an area of study that is expanding. FOWT platforms cause increased structural movement, which can reduce the turbine’s power prod...

The occurrence of fractures has emerged as one of the most prevalent injuries in the human body. In bone reconstruction surgery, after the implantation of porous hydroxyapatite materials, there is an initial infiltration of body fluids into the porou...

Statistical process control (SPC) is one of the most powerful techniques for improving quality, as it is able to detect special causes of problems in processes, products and services with a remarkable degree of accuracy. Among SPC tools, X¯ and...

Security identification solutions against WLAN network attacks according to straightforward digital detectors, such as SSID, IP addresses, and MAC addresses, are not efficient in identifying such hacking or router impersonation. These detectors can b...

Research related to thermal cameras, which are major control measures, is increasing to overcome the limitations of closed-circuit television (CCTV) images. Thermal cameras have the advantage of easily detecting objects at night and of being able to...

Ensuring the safety and stability of buildings during earthquakes is of utmost importance. This can be achieved by assessing the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures with consideration of design details. This study focused on the sei...

Research on optical amplifiers has highlighted how ionizing radiation negatively impacts the performance of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), through the degradation of their gain. The amplitudes and kinetics of this degradation are mainly expla...
