This paper serves as a resource guide for Sports Engineering educators. The paper covers key topics in Sports Engineering, including ball impact, friction, safety and materials. A variety of resource types are presented to reflect modern methods of learning and searching for information, including textbooks, research and review papers, websites and videos. The field could benefit from more resources...
In order to study stability of geogrids-reinforced high embankment, by indoor direct shear test and pull-off test respectively, interface properities between geogrids and stuffing were studied. The study results indicate that: the variation of water content of stuffing have great influence on geogrids-reinforced high embankment, along with increasing of water content of stuffing, the frictional resistance...
Sand is generally considered to be cohesionless material, but there is small cohesion for sand with certain moisture content. It is reasonable to consider the cohesion when analyzing the stability of side slope of high sand embankment. In this paper, direct shear tests of the Shuhe River sand (in Shandong province, China) were done at different moisture contents and dry densities, and a multiple regression...
Strength reduction FEM is one of the main methods to analyze slope stability. Based on the extended Drucker-Prager yield criterion in ABAQUS, the plastic zone along a sliding surface from slope toe to the top is assumed as the flag to tell the slope sliding. And a typical soil slope stability is analyzed with extended Drucker-Prager yield criterion with different section circle of Mohr-Coulomb yield...
Energy is the bedrock of our daily lives and industry. Now is the time that industry, government and academia must join together and examine highly independent, fully environmentally considerate and rational energy systems. In this presentation, recent Japanese policy will be introduced focusing on new national energy strategy. Looking at future technology trends, it is probable that, in the case...
