We present a novel meshless algorithm based on the Fragile Points Method (FPM) for hyperelastic materials undergoing finite deformation. In contrast to mesh-based methods, where mesh distortion may pose numerical challenges. ...

In this paper an efficient mesh-moving Finite Element model for the simulation of the incompressible flow problems is proposed. The model is based on a combination of the explicit multi-step scheme (Runge–Kutta) with an ...

This article describes an exploratory study of social human-robot interaction with the experimental robotic platform MASHI. The experiences were carried out in La Bobila Cultural Center in Barcelona, Spain to study the visit

Compared to partially premixed combustion (or combustion of non-homogeneous reactants in general), fully premixed and diffusion flames represent only two asymptotic limits of combustion modes. However, the deep knowledge ...

As an alternative to the paradigm of slow roll inflation, we propose an extended scenario of the matter bounce cosmology in which the Universe has experienced a quasi-matter contracting phase with a variable background ...

While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/power ratio can be attained using specialized ...

El model de Vickrey s'ha utilitzat per gestionar el trànsit en una infrastructura que presenti un coll d'ampolla (problema unidimensional). La idea del TFM és ampliar el model de Vickrey a una àrea urbana (barri, prob. ...

We show that the conformally invariant fractional powers of the sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group are given in terms of the scattering operator for an extension problem to the Siegel upper halfspace. Remarkably, this ...
