Study on vertical vibration and transmission characteristics of railway ballast using impact hammer test

The vertical vibration and transmission characteristics of ballast are key factors that affect the dynamic stability of railway track structures and control the settlement of ballasted beds. Therefore, the following study was conducted to explore this topic. Firstly, through an impact hammer test on a ballast sensor with embedding chip, the...

Highly Water-Permeable Metal-Organic Framework MOF-303 Membranes for Desalination

New membrane materials with excellent water permeability and high ion rejection are needed. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates by virtue of their diversity in chemistry and topology. In this work, continuous aluminum MOF-303 membranes were prepared on α-Al2O3 substrates via an in situ hydrothermal synthesis method. The...

An end-to-end geometric deficiencies elimination algorithm for 3D meshes

The 3D mesh is an important representation of geometric data. It is widely used in computer graphics and has attracted more attention in computer vision community recently. However, in the generation of mesh data, geometric deficiencies (e.g., duplicate elements, degenerate faces, isolated vertices, self-intersection, and inner faces) are...
