A modified Morison model is presented for calculation of hydrodynamic forces on aquaculture net cages. The model is based on a simple method for conversion of ”screen model force coefficients” to ...

The type of floor system has a decisive role in the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings. The in-plane stiffness of the floors has to be adequately represented in the numerical modelling of existing ...

Physically realistic methods are a necessity to close the gap between reality and numerical result in modelling of tumbling mills. A problem is that tumbling mills often operate in a metastable state because of the difficulty ...

The versatility of Jet-Grouting as a soil improvement technique has made this procedure to be widely used in geotechnical engineering practice. In this work we discuss some aspects related to the THMC coupling phenomena ...

Over the last years, the study of micro and macro algae has become a matter of a major interest to the population, mainly due to their great potential. Their singular capacities, such waste water cleaners, high nutrient ...

In this research work a material microstructure-level cutting model (MML cutting model) is presented. The crystal plasticity theory is adopted for modeling the cutting of the titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V in orthogonal case. ...

Mechanical ventilation is a widely used clinical intervention among intensive care patients to assist with breathing. Although it can be useful in facilitating patient recovery, the machine used during this therapy, ...

El Cabril is the low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal facility for Spain. After sealing the cells that stored the radioactive waste, water was collected from a drainpipe, indicating flow of water within ...

In this work we develop a viscoelastic bar element that can handle multiple rheological laws with non-linear elastic and non-linear viscous material models. The bar element is built by joining in series an elastic and ...
