Upscaled soil hydraulic properties are needed for many large-scale hydrologic applications such as regional and global climate studies and investigations of land–atmosphere interactions. Many larger scale subsurface flow and contaminant transport studies also require upscaled hydraulic property estimates. The objectives of this study were to develop a methodology for upscaling hydraulic propert...

In this paper, some recent advances on research, development and implementation of intelligent health monitoring systems (HMSs) for infrastructures in mainland of China, especially in Harbin Institute of Technology. The contents include smart sensors such as optical fiber Bragg grating and polivinylidene fluoride sensors, self-sensing mortar and carbon fiber reinforced polymer, wireless sensor ...

This thesis examines the modelling and control of a hydraulic servo system. Both a theoratical and a practical approach are discussed. The used set-up consists of an one DOF hydraulic system with an electronically controlled servo valve. A nonlinear parametric model of the system, several fitted linear black box models as well as a LPV model combining these fits are determined. The models are v...

Understanding how a cutout influences the load bearing capacity and buckling behavior of cylindrical shells is fundamental in the design of structural components used in automobiles, aircrafts, and marine structures. In this article, simulation and analysis of steel cylindrical shells with various lengths, include quasi elliptical cutout, subjected to axial compression were systematically carri...

Scour in the downstream of hydraulic structures is a phenomenon which usually occurs due to exceeding the velocity or shear stress from a critical level. In this paper by using the laboratory data by Borman- Jouline and De-Agostino research, it was tried to get more accurate equations in order to calculate the maximum depth of scour in the downstream of the water level regulation structures. Co...

Spur dike is one of the hydraulic structures used in rivers to protect river banks. In this paper, flow pattern around a T-shaped spur dike which is located in a 90◦ bend and different amounts of submersion has been studied using Flow-3D. Numerical results have been compared with experimental results and have been analysed.

2014 The first theoretical study of optical absorption in aluminium under hydraulic pressure, based on a self-consistent ab initio band scheme, is presented. The shifts of the absorption peaks under high pressure, in agreement with the experimental data, are observed The relevant changes in the band structures are pointed out to explain these shifts. J.
