Synthesis and characterization of a novel biodegradable polylactide. by Cheong, Qi Li.

“…Three-arm and four-arm star-shaped poly(DL-Lactide) (PLA) oligomers were successfully synthesized using glycerol and pentaerythritol initiator with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) organocatalysts by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) in bulk. A series of crosslinked PLA samples were prepared using different reaction conditions and purification techniques. …”

A simplified weak coupling dynamic analysis method for running safety evaluation of train on bridges under earthquake excitation by Zhu, Zhihui, Gong, Wei, Zhou, Gaoyang, Yang, Yaowen, Jiang, Lizhong

“…Additionally, based on the method's assumptions, the earthquake excitation on the train can be separated into the seismic inertial effect and seismic-induced bridge deformation, enabling a quantitative analysis of the impact of these two types of excitations on train safety. Taking a 10-span simply supported bridge and a long-span cable-stayed bridge as examples, the proposed method's assumptions are verified by comparing its results with those obtained from a complex TTBS model. …”
