Autonomous vehicle fleets for public transport: scenarios and comparisons
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Article
Open AccessAutonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming a reality and may integrate with existing public transport systems to enable the new generation of autonomous public transport. It is vital to understand what are the alternatives for ... -
An acoustic Riemann solver for large strain computational contact dynamics
(2022-08)
Article
Open AccessThis article presents a vertex-centered finite volume algorithm for the explicit dynamic analysis of large strain contact problems. The methodology exploits the use of a system of first order conservation equations written ... -
High spatial heterogeneity and low connectivity of bacterial communities along a Mediterranean subterranean estuary
(2022-11)
Article
Open AccessSubterranean estuaries are biogeochemically active coastal sites resulting from the underground mixing of fresh aquifer groundwater and seawater. In these systems, microbial activity can largely transform the chemical ... -
Advanced seismic evaluation of RC structural walls using nonlinear truss models
(European Association for Earthquake Engineering, 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents a method to evaluate the seismic performance of RC walls, based on the local (material) response obtained from computational simulation. The latter relies on a recent implementation of the nonlinear ... -
Diagonal tension performance of concrete panels reinforced with hooked end steel fibers
(2022-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe increase in strength of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) depends mainly on factors such as the dosage, aspect ratio and number of hooked ends of the fibers. Previous studies proposed models to estimate the flexural ... -
Assessment of simplified momentum equations for free surface flows through rigid porous media
(Springer Nature, 2023-06)
Article
Open AccessIn many applications, free surface flow through rigid porous media has to be modeled. Examples refer to coastal engineering applications as well as geotechnical or biomedical applications. Albeit the frequent applications, ... -
An unconditionally stable explicit finite element algorithm for coupled hydromechanical problems of soil mechanics in pseudo-static conditions
(2022-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this article, we present a novel explicit time-integration algorithm for the coupled hydromechanical soil mechanics problems in a pseudo-static regime. After introducing the finite element discretization, the semidiscrete ... -
A multi-criteria h-adaptive finite-element framework for industrial part-scale thermal analysis in additive manufacturing processes
(2022-12)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents an h-adaptive finite-element (FE) strategy to address the numerical simulation of additive manufacturing (AM) of large-scale parts. The wire-arc additive manufacturing is chosen as the demonstrative ... -
Towards the development on new high capacity tensiometers capable of measuring soil matric suction beyond 3 MPa
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessHigh capacity tensiometers (HCT) are the only type of sensors in existence that can measure soil matric suction directly and are regarded to be the most accurate and reliable technique for the study of suction evolution ... -
Ductile fracture simulation of stainless steel coupons under monotonic tensile forces
(Wilhelm Ernst & Sohn, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyStainless steel alloys exhibit a nonlinear stress-strain behaviour which can be precisely described by the Ramberg-Osgood material model up to the ultimate stress. However, there is no consensus on the ductile fracture ... -
Sustainability assessment in residential high-rise building design: state of the art
(2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwenty-first-century population growth is raising the need for more land space in urban areas and this has led to the construction of high-rise buildings, reducing horizontal urban development and making construction of ... -
Extreme precipitation events induce high fluxes of groundwater and associated nutrients to the coastal ocean
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessCurrent Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) studies are commonly conducted under aquifer baseflow conditions, neglecting the influence of episodic events that can significantly increase the supply of nutrients and water. ...
