What is degenerative disc disease? Degenerative disc disease is the progressive deterioration of the discs between the vertebrae in the spine, as well as arthritis in the spine’s facet joints. An ...

Dynamic loading due to pulsation is a critical consideration in piping systems connected to reciprocating machinery, such as ...

Abstract: Long-span bridges are the lifeline throats of urban transportation network. Deflection (i.e., deformation) behavior of long-span bridges is complex. It can be found from long-term monitoring ...

Abstract: Vehicle longitudinal dynamics are shaped by tire characteristics. A number of empirical tire models have been proposed to explain longitudinal tire behaviors. These models typically explain ...

Abstract The evaluation of the deflection in beams is an indispensable step of the structural design. Currently, many standard codes adopt the Branson’s model. However, the Branson’s model ...
