Vibration reduction on circular saw blades with vibroacoustic metamaterials [PDF]
The presented work focuses on the experimental investigation of a vibroacoustic metamaterial integrated into a spinning circular saw blade. Vibroacoustic metamaterials are a novel technology for broadband vibration reduction. Built from an array of local

Research and Analysis on Present Situation of Desert Sand Concrete [PDF]
Due to the rapid development of civil engineering industry, natural medium and coarse sand resources are increasingly scarce. If desert sand is studied and applied in the field of civil engineering, the shortage of sand resources and high unit price can ...

Measures of Durability of Resistance [PDF]
Conventional models for the durability of resistant cultivars focus on the dynamics of the frequency of resistance genes. This leads to a definition of the durability of resistance as the time from introduction of the cultivar to the time when the frequency of the virulence gene reaches a preset threshold.

Optimal Monetary Policy with Durable and Non-durable Goods [PDF]
We document that the durable goods sector is much more interest-sensitive than the non-durables sector, and then investigate the implications of these these sectoral differences for monetary policy. We formulate a two-sector general equilibrium model that is calibrated both to match the sectoral responses to a monetary policy shock derived from our ...

The Effect of Water Repellent Surface Impregnation on Durability of Cement-Based Materials
In many cases, service life of reinforced concrete structures is severely limited by chloride penetration until the steel reinforcement or by carbonation of the covercrete.
