Abstract: Extracting ground points from LiDAR point clouds is essential for constructing digital terrain models (DTMs). This article presents a filtering method with strip curve fitting, based on the ...

Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment (pitch) stiffness, which can dominate compliance in ...

Abstract The evaluation of the deflection in beams is an indispensable step of the structural design. Currently, many standard codes adopt the Branson’s model. However, the Branson’s model ...

Abstract: Accurate terrain slope and aspect estimation is essential for landscape geomorphology. Ice, cloud, and land elevation satellite-2 (ICESat-2) with its high-density sampling in space, ...
