Abstract: In the context of large-scale photovoltaic integration, flexibility scheduling is essential to ensure the secure and efficient operation of distribution networks (DNs). Recently, deep ...

First up, when you evaluate their PE and FE review, the value proposition has to go beyond the price tag. Sure, the cost of failing your exam means another re-take fee, which may seem small in ...

ABSTRACT: With super high-rise buildings developing towards characteristics of low damping, light weight, and high flexibility, their wind-induced vibration and aeroelastic effects have become key ...

Abstract: The structural deformation measuring of coal mine roadways is an effective method to prevent dynamic disasters and avoid loss of civilian life and property. Previous studies on structural ...

The winds were blowing at 40 mph (64 km/h) across the Tacoma Narrows strait when "Galloping Gertie" began to bounce. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which connected Tacoma, Washington, with the Kitsap ...

The flexibility matrix finds extensive application in detecting damage in civil and mechanical engineering structures, a focus explored in-depth within this paper. This study meticulously examines ...

Rendered model showing a complex 3D structure made up of thousands of repeating microscopic patterns. By teaching an AI model to predict the behavior of these patterns, the Drexel team can design ...
