Transportation is undergoing a radical transformation toward novel way of thinking about road pavement: sustainable, multifunctional infrastructure able to satisfy mobility needs, ensuring high safety standards, low carbon impact, automated detection through smart sensors, and resilience against natural anthropogenic hazards. In this scenario, the could also play role for energy harvesting, tha...

Firstly this article briefly describes the technology of topology optimization. Then the design space of frame of aircraft deicing vehicle is established and the model of finite element is gained by meshing. Loads and DOF constraints are applied based on the analysis of working conditions. The results of topology optimization are attained by calculation. On the basis of aforementioned results, ...

Atmospheric icing may be problematic for many industries, including electric utilities. The combination of wind and ice could cause damages, sometimes leading to power outages. The January 1998 ice storm has led to the development of several de-icing methods destined to overhead power lines. These techniques are the subject of several technical reports and publications. Furthermore, in the past...
