This paper presents a study of the properties of soil–rock mixtures (SRM) prepared by the vibration compaction method. First, the results of laboratory experiments and field tests are compared to determine the reasonable parameters of the vibration c...
Cement stabilized macadam semi-rigid base materials are widely used in road construction in China. However, a traditional static molding method and heavy compaction method cannot guide the design and engineering application of cement stabilized macad...
This paper proposes a high-precision interventional pressure measurement catheter with a compact structure for in vivo pressure monitoring. This catheter uses a minimally invasive testing method, and the proposed compact structure reduces pressure lo...
To make measurement of end-wall flow between blade rows in a compact multistage configuration possible, a miniature L-shaped five-hole probe was employed in this paper. This compact tip structure, realized by laser-printing instead of the conventiona...
In this work, compacts from mechanical mixtures of CaF2 micron powder (MCP) with CaF2 nanopowder (NP) additives were produced, with mass ratios of the mixture components ranging from 10:0.125 to 10:1, respectively, using magnetic pulse (MP) and stati...
In order to reduce the construction cost of excessively wet silt roadbeds and improve the compaction quality, this paper studies the compaction characteristics and compaction technology of excessively wet silts through theoretical derivation, indoor...
The organic working fluid journal bearing is expected to enhance organic Rankine cycle system compactness significantly. In order to serve the practical application of organic working fluid bearings, this study analyzes the influence of key design pa...
Despite the advantageous benefits offered by self-compacting concrete, its uses are still limited due to the high pressure exerted on the formwork. Different parameters, such as those related to concrete mix design, the properties of newly poured con...

Volutes downstream of radial compressor impellers and their respective diffusors have proven to be useful flow geometries, as they collect and deflect the swirling mass flow efficiently and feature a compact shape. Whilst a good preliminary design of...
The availability of compressed air in combination with downsizing and turbocharging is a promising approach to improve the fuel economy and the driveability of internal combustion engines. The compressed air is used to boost and start the engine. It...
The electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) is a type of highly integrated, compact, closed pump control drive system composed of a servo motor, a metering pump, a hydraulic cylinder and other components. Compared with the traditional valve control system...
Powder metallurgy (PM) processes for porous copper and alloys have seen some commercial successes, but PM methods have the disadvantage of relatively low porosity or strength that is compromised by stress-concentrating interparticle bonds. To increas...
Granular materials are used directly or as the primary ingredients of the mixtures in industrial manufacturing, agricultural production and civil engineering. It has been a challenging task to compute the porosity of a granular material which contain...
The selection of grouting methods and parameters significantly affects the improvement in the pile-bearing capacity of cast-in-place bored piles. This study proposes a comprehensive set of test methods for constructing model piles, performing groutin...
Renewable energy generation methods such as wind power and photovoltaic power have problems of randomness, intermittency, and volatility. Gravity energy storage technology can realize the stable and controllable conversion of gravity potential energy...
High blood pressure is one of the most important precursors for Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), the most common cause of death in 2020, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Moreover, many patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases...
This work presents a novel, compact (six pieces), low-cost (<$500 USD), and easy-to-manufacture metallography mounting device. The device is designed to produce high-quality polymer encapsulated samples that rival those obtained from commercial eq...
The prediction of the seismic response of non-yielding wall systems is complex. Over the years, researchers have presented numerous solutions to this problem, which often yield varying results concerning maximum forces, deformations, and the residual...
