Dynamic compressive and tensile properties of mortar under impact loading were investigated experimentally by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus with pulse shaping technique.

Rail support modulus is an important factor in safety of railway track. This parameter is defined as support force imposing on rail length unit per rail unit displacement in vertical direction. Rail ...

Slate, characterized by its layered structure, exhibits mechanical properties predominantly influenced by structural planes. To investigate the mechanical behavior and failure modes of slate under ...

Ultrasonic testing of concrete or ultrasonic pulse velocity test on concrete is a non-destructive test to assess the homogeneity and integrity of concrete. With this ultrasonic test on concrete, ...

Abstract: In a previous paper, we introduced a flexible methodology for the design of dual-use waveform alphabets which are suitable for simultaneous use in radar and wireless communications. Here we ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the influence of the joint of hexagonal honeycomb structures on the in-plane equivalent elastic modulus and resilience ability. Firstly, a series of honeycomb samples ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Mechanical deicing is a method to remove the ice on the pavement surface, and the ice strength directly affects the difficulty and effectiveness of the mechanical deicing. This paper aims to ...
