The paper presents the enhancement of an existing constitutive model for argillaceous hard soils-weak rocks to incorporate non-isothermal conditions to be used in coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) simulations of ...

The design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of a vibrationally trapped thickness-shear MEMS resonator is presented. This device is intended to avoid various limitations of flexural MEMS resonators, including ...

During the 2019/2020 Australian bushfire season, intense wildfires generated a rising plume with a record concentration of smoke in the lower stratosphere. Motivated by this event, we use the atmospheric wind reanalysis ...

This paper extends to three dimensions (3D), the computational technique developed by the authors in 2D for predicting the onset and evolution of fracture in a finite element mesh in a simple manner based on combining the ...

Aims. Deflagration models poorly explain the observed diversity of SNIa. Current multidimensional simulations of SNIa predict a significant amount of, so far unobserved, carbon and oxygen moving at low velocities. It has ...

This note presents a damage model for fibre-composite materials based in the approach by Matzenmiller et al. [Matzenmiller, A., Lubliner, J., Taylor, R.L., 1995. A constitutive model for anisotropic damage in fiber-composites. ...

A new three-phase active rectifier topology is proposed for bipolar dc distribution, which can achieve the independent dc-pole control, with only one two-level voltage source converter and an ac-side grounding inductor. ...

This letter proposes a phase-locked loop (PLL) able to operate as an independent single-phase PLL in the context of three-phase systems. Its key advantage is that the extracted information allows the independent control ...

In the present work we propose a three-phase chemo-elastic damage model for the description of the mechanical degradation of concrete induced by the Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR). The model accounts for ASR kinetics, ...
