Yao, Liaojun (author), Chuai, Mingyue (author), Lyu, Zhangming (author), Chen, Xiangming (author), Guo, Licheng (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)Methods based on fracture mechanics have been widely used in fatigue delamination growth (FDG) characterization of composite laminates. These methods are based on the similitude hypothesis. It is therefore important to have appropriate parameters to well represent the similitude, which is useful for fatigue delamination test standard...journal article 2024

Jia, Junru (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, Li (author), Chen, Qiting (author), Xu, Anlun (author)Accurate and continuous estimation of surface albedo is vital for assessing and understanding land–surface–atmosphere interactions. We developed a method for estimating instantaneous all-sky at-surface shortwave upwelling radiance and albedo over the Tibetan Plateau. The method accounts for the complex interplay of topography and atmospheric...journal article 2024
