...Chuanming Sheng; Yan Long; Jijian Lian; Fang Liu; Bin Ma Purpose Sluice gate jamming in moving water frequently occurs in hydraulic engineering, while feasible solutions for the gate closure have not been proposed. This paper aims to reveal the main reason for the gate jamming in free discharge...

... approach to the automated element grouping and self-stress identification of tensegrities. Design/methodology/approach – A set of feasible solutions conforming to the unilateral behaviour of elements is obtained through an optimisation process, which is solved using a genetic algorithm. Each...
