An unprecedented breakthrough has been made over the past decades in natural gas industry, which helps improve energy mix and promote the low-carbon economy in China.With such abundant hydrocarbon resources, China owns two intensive oil and gas producing blocks in the Ordos Basin and Xinjiang province and two other concentrated gas producing blocks
Evaluation of the Low-Temperature Cracking Performance of Recycled Asphalt Mixture: A Development of Equivalent Fracture Temperature
This study aims to develop a new index to evaluate the low-temperature cracking performance (LTCP) of recycled asphalt mixtures.To achieve this, the assumption that fracture energy has limitation in evaluating the LTCP of mixtures was put forward firstly.To reveal this limitation theoretically, a concept of energy absorption rate that characterized
Flow characteristics and microstructural evolution in pulsed current assisted micro-scaled compression of stainless steel sheet
Electrically assisted (EA) microforming has pervasive benefits for the fabrication of high-performance microproducts.In this research, the coupled effect between the microstructural size effect and pulsed current on the flow characteristics of 304 stainless steel sheets along thickness direction was explored by using EA micro-compression tests.The
