Physical model tests with the scale of 1:36 are carried out in the Near-Shore Wave Basin (NSWB) at Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory (THL) with the jacket-type offshore wind turbine foundation (jacket-type foundation) and the combination of hard or soft scour protection in the test area. Scouring around the jacket-type foundation exposed to wave and current was conducted in the NSWB with a mobile be...

Our country’s textile industry is in the producing and processing field in the global value chain, so textiles’ added value is low and profit margins is narrow. Developed countries take up fields of high-grade fabrics production and advanced textile machinery manufacture. Because textile fabrics, textile machinery and equipment of China's textile industry fall behind developed countries, produc...

scoure is the removal of particle sediment which results variation of flow pattern. local scour is considered as one of the reasons of instability and ultimately failure of bridges.therefore, proposing some controlling methods to reduce this phenomenon is essential. in the study, effects of two types of squar and circular collar on a single cylindrical model have been investigated. in the next ...

3D textile model plays an important role in textile engineering. However, not much work focus on high-quality 3D textile reconstruction. The texture is also limited by photography methods in 3D scanning. This paper presents a novel framework of reconstructing a high-quality 3D textile model with a synthesized texture. Firstly, a pipeline of 3D textile processing is proposed to obtain a better 3...

In the present work, the efficiency of single and double collar in reducing scour rate and depth around cylindrical bridge piers was studied experimentally. In order to reduce the strength of wake vortices, different numbers of bars were also installed at the downstream face of the pier in combination with a single collar. The best result was achieved for double collar when the collars were ins...

The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. The present status of nanotechnology use in textiles is reviewed, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.
