Development of Intelligent Prefabs Using IoT Technology to Improve the Performance of Prefabricated Construction Projects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Prefabrication (PC) projects have many advantages, such as cost and energy savings and waste reduction. However, some problems still exist that hamper the development of prefabrication projects. To improve PC project performance and advance innovation in

Measurement of dynamic characteristics of a steel-spring floating slab track and a monolithic roadbed track in a subway tunnel

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
Dynamic characteristics including wheel–rail interactions and vibration-damping effects of a steel-spring floating slab track were measured and compared with those of a monolithic roadbed track.

Influence of Slab Length on behavior of Floating Slab Track by Rail-slab-isolator Longitudinal Interaction

open access: yesInternational Journal of Railway, 2012
Many different types of floating slab track have been developed and installed around the world to reduce vibrations and noise originating in the surrounding environment. The main objective of this study is to examine the influence of slab length on behavior of floating slab track based on rail-slab-isolator interaction.

Gyrokinetic electron acceleration in the force-free corona with anomalous resistivity

open access: yes, 2006
We numerically explore electron acceleration and coronal heating by dissipative electric fields. Electrons are traced in linear force-free magnetic fields extrapolated from SOHO/MDI magnetograms, endowed with anomalous resistivity ($\eta$) in localized ...

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

A space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for two-fluid problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A space-time discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for two fluid flow problems is presented. By using a combination of level set and cut-cell methods the interface between two fluids is tracked in space-time. The movement of the interface in space-

Unidirectional Invisibility and PT-Symmetry with Graphene

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the reflectionlessness and invisibility properties in the transverse electric (TE) mode solution of a linear homogeneous optical system which comprises the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric structures covered by graphene sheets.

Slab track optimisation considering dynamic train–track interaction

open access: yes, 2021
Slab track is a type of railway track that is frequently used e.g. in high-speed applications as an alternative to ballasted track. Slab track is also well suited on bridges and in tunnels since no ballast is required and the cross-section of tunnels can be reduced. Slab tracks generally have lower maintenance demands than ballasted track.

Numerical Analysis of Vibration Responses in High-Speed Railways considering Mud Pumping Defect

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2019
As a newly appeared defect under slab tracks in high-speed railways, mud pumping weakens the support ability of the subgrade to slab track, bringing about deviations on the vibration responses of the vehicle, slab track, and subgrade.
