Revealing the interlayer pressure distribution in multilayer insulation (MLI) for cryogen (e.g., liquid hydrogen) containers is very important to improve the insulation-performance-predicting quality. This paper proposed an inversion method to reconstruc...

Given the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events, and the casualties and cost associated with bridge collapse events, explaining the flood behavior for the collapse sites would be of great necessity. In this study, annual peak flows of two hu...
