A Novel Method to Broaden the Single-Mode Bandwidth of the Rectangular Waveguide

In this paper, a new class of broadband and low-loss transmission line called slotted rectangular waveguide (SRW) is proposed and analyzed. The proposed SRW consists of the rectangular waveguide and the inverted low-loss slotline, which can...

Feasibility of Residual Stress Nondestructive Estimation Using the Nonlinear Property of Critical Refraction Longitudinal Wave

Residual stress has significant influence on the performance of mechanical components, and the nondestructive estimation of residual stress is always a difficult problem. This study applies the relative nonlinear coefficient of critical ref...

Separate DOD and DOA Estimation for Bistatic MIMO Radar

A novel MUSIC-type algorithm is derived in this paper for the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in a bistatic MIMO radar. Through rearranging the received signal matrix, we illustrate that the DOD and th...

Unsteady Aerodynamic Characteristics of a High-Speed Train Induced by the Sudden Change of Windbreak Wall Structure: A Case Study of the Xinjiang Railway

Under strong winds, the effect of sudden windbreak transition (WT) on high-speed trains is severe, leading to a deterioration of train aerodynamics and sudden yawing motion of the car body. To address these problems, based on a high-speed t...

Surface Reconstruction Adopting Laser Plane of Linear Path System Registered by Parallel Constraint

A surface reconstruction technology, which is contributed from the parallel constraint between two laser planes, is introduced and achieved by a laser projector guided by a linear path system. The projection geometry is constructed by the p...

Spatiotemporal Speed Planning for Multi-Vehicle Cooperative Driving With Dynamic Following Relationships

In Autonomous Valet Parking scenarios, multiple vehicles operate cooperatively in low-speed environments where the leading-vehicle constraint may be dynamically reconstructed due to path transitions. Under such conditions, conventional spee...

An Integrated Decision Support Model for Evaluating Public Transport Quality

Big cities suffer from serious complex problems such as air pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents. Developing public transport quality in such cities is considered an efficient remedy to obviate these critical issues. This paper aims...

PROPOSING A FRAMEWORK FOR ESTABLISHING A GREEN ENERGY LOGISTIC HUB: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN EGYPT

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has emphasized the opportunity to create "hydrogen hubs" to reduce costs associated with low-carbon hydrogen pathways. A "hub" is a region capable of aggregating hydrogen demand, typically found in coas...

Characterizing particle crushing behavior of dry granular soils by acoustic emission

This study investigates particle crushing mechanisms in granular soils during shearing through staged triaxial compression experiments performed at prescribed axial strains and varying confining stresses, integrating a high-performance acou...

Editorial: introduction to group research projects developed within an intensive programme in railway and logistics

This paper introduces a special issue of the Journal Transport Problems on group research projects developed within the RailNewcastle summer school organised and held in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. The participants (both educat...

An improved Harris corner detection method for honeycomb structures

Structural defects and cell irregularity significantly impact the performance and safety of honeycomb structures. Thus, various image processing techniques have been employed to evaluate the cell shape and detect structural defects within t...

Numerical investigation of corroded middle‐high strength pipeline subjected to combined internal pressure and axial compressive loading

Abstract Buried oil and gas pipelines may face the threat of geological disasters such as landslides, faults, and floods. However, long‐term buried oil and gas pipelines often have corrosion defects, which bring greater challenges to the sa...

Machine Learning–Based Prediction of Organic Solar Cell Performance Using Molecular Descriptors

The performance of Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) is intrinsically linked to the molecular, electronic, and structural properties of donor and acceptor materials. This study employs various machine learning techniques, namely the Generalized Re...

The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the frost resistance of energy tunnels in cold regions

Seasonal temperature fluctuations in cold regions induce freeze–thaw cycles that can significantly impact the structural safety and maintenance of tunnels. This study uses the Daban Mountain Tunnel as a case study to develop a full-scale nu...

Minimizing the Sum of Makespan and Total Weighted Tardiness in a No-Wait Flowshop

This paper presents a cloud theory-based iterated greedy (CTIG) algorithm for solving the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem (NWFSP) with the objective of minimizing the sum of makespan and total weighted tardiness. The performance of the ...

What is Transportation Engineering

"The branch of engineering which applies technology, science, and human factors to the planning, design, operations and management of roads, streets, bikeways, highways, their networks, terminals, and abutting lands” The objective is to pro...
