The European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescopes have spotted the aftermath of three bright explosions echoing through the outer spiral arms of our galaxy, the Milky ...

Decades ago, Paul Erdős used randomness to illuminate the vast and weird world of networks. Now mathematicians are making his ...

J.T. Poston survived a marathon Sunday at Muirfield Village, playing 32 holes, including a two-hole playoff, to collect his fourth and biggest PGA Tour win at the Memorial Tournament. Notably, the win ...

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 ...

Abstract: With the advantages of energy concentration, low attenuation, and long propagation distance, featured guided waves (FGWs) have shown great potential in the detection of weld structures.

Abstract: The result of single-ended traveling wave fault location method based on wavelet transform will be affected by false wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) points. In this paper, fault ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...

SINGAPORE – The number of potholes found on roads in Singapore has been decreasing over the last three years, with a nearly 40 per cent drop in the January to September period compared with the same ...

The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...

Machine learning is a good method for predicting fracture by integrating multi-source information. Post-stack seismic attributes are commonly used to predict medium to large fractures, while pre-stack ...

Several engineering practices have shown that the excavation of shallow-buried tunnels beneath major roads, as well as the selection of appropriate engineering measures and construction methods, has a ...
