The objective of this work is to develop a remodeling model for biological matter coupling two different processes in a 3D framework: reorientation of the preferential direction of a given fibered structure and reorientation ...

This paper presents a method for the automatic synthesis of asynchronous circuits from Petri net specifications. The method is based on a structural encoding of the system in such a way that a circuit implementation is ...

Systematic formulation of software process models (SPM) is currently a challenging problem in software engineering. We present an approach to define such models that encourages: reuse of both elements and models; modularity ...

The paper presents some improvements in the formulation of a kinematic hardening constitutive soil model incorporating structure initially proposed for soft clays. For the modelling of overconsolidated bonded clay the ...

The ESA Academy’s Space Systems Engineering Training Course is a unique educational opportunity offered by the European Space Agency’s Education Office. It allows Bachelor, Master and PhD students to learn about the ...

The wireless technology is gaining significance in today’s designs of electronic and digita ldevices. Its application helps not only to save trouble of fixing cluttered wiring but also to save costs. In the aviation field, ...

Optimization is concerned with the finding of global optima (hence the name) of problems that can be cast in the form of a function of several variables and constraints thereof. Among the searching methods, {em Evolutionary ...

This project describes the improvement process of a simulation model for mechanical presses with Dynamic Drive Chain® kit (DDC) developed by ABB SA. Eccentric mechanical presses use a wheel of inertia combined with a ...

In this study, numerical simulations of binary droplet collisions of two GNF droplets are carried out. Navier-Stokes equations are solved for fluid motion both inside and outside of the droplet using a conservative ...
