A large amount of experimental and theoretical works deals with the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic geometries. Since they often consider relatively long optical pulses, many of these studies are focused on the investigation of a quasi- ...
The Second Dongting Lake (SDTL) Bridge is the longest steel truss girder suspension bridge in China, which has a main span of 1480 m. To alleviate deterioration issues in the orthotropic steel deck (OSD), the steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) li ...
Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) offers significant potential to address a variety of needs in bridge design, construction, and performance enhancement. Bridge owners have shown willingness to embrace novel solutions that could address specific challe ...
In sensed buildings, information related to occupant movement helps optimize important functionalities such as security enhancement, energy management, and caregiving. Typical sensing approaches for occupant tracking rely on mobile devices and cameras. The ...
Second-harmonic generation in nonlinear materials can be greatly enhanced by realizing doubly resonant cavities with high quality factors. However, fulfilling such doubly resonant condition in photonic crystal (PhC) slab cavities is a long-standing challen ...
Cast-in-place thin layers of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) on the specific zones of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks has been demonstrated to be a technically efficient and economic rehabilitation an ...
Objective: In this paper, a new vibrational modal analysis technique was developed for intraoperative cementless prosthesis fixation evaluation upon hammering. Methods: An artificial bone (Sawbones)-prosthesis system was excited by sweeping of a sine signa ...
