The ‘formability’ of sheet metal is a major keyword referring to process design in the sheet metal forming industry. Higher formability could reflect lower production costs and time. Many studies have been carried out to improve formability in variou...
Slip zone soil is usually composed of clay or silty clay; in some special geological environments, it contains gravels, which make the properties of the slip zone soil more complex. Unfortunately, in many indoor shear tests, gravels are removed to me...
Although sedimentary zones in Lake Taihu differ in external inputs, hydrodynamic conditions, and sedimentary settings, the spatial differentiation of eukaryotic microbial communities and their assembly mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Thi...
The planning process for any transport system can be considered complete if it is accompanied by a modeling system to evaluate the intervention. The study area should always be divided into traffic zones. Correct zoning is the key to any transport sy...
