One of the main challenges of desert rail operations is maintaining functional track and ballast. Professor Hannes Gräbe of the Chair in Railway Engineering at the University of Pretoria explains how ...

Abstract: The simulation of cloth with rich folds and wrinkles is a computationally expensive process. In this paper, we introduce an example-based algorithm for fast animation of plausible cloth ...

Exact solutions of buckling configurations and vibration response of post-buckled configurations of beams with non-classical boundary conditions (e.g., elastically supported) are presented using the ...

The construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary ...

We demonstrate a novel approach to X-ray ptychography, a phase-sensitive scanning microscopy method. By replacing the conventional sample scanning approach with a beam-scanning via reflective optics, ...

Qualitative structural analysis might not be familiar to structural engineers. The usual way of analysis of structures is numerical (quantitative) method in which the structural designers should ...

With the development and utilization of underground space, many scholars are studying the failure mechanism of tunnel (Xiang et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2019). As a common auxiliary construction method ...
