Centrifuge modelling of an expansive clay profile using artificial fissuring to accelerate swell
(2023-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the results of a centrifuge study in which swell of an expansive clay profile was induced in the centrifuge. A factor which has previously hindered such research is the time required to induce significant ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Mitigation of residual stresses and microstructure homogenization in directed energy deposition processes
(2022-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn additive manufacturing (AM), residual stresses and microstructural inhomogeneity are detrimental to the mechanical properties of as-built AM components. In previous studies, the reduction of the residual stresses and ...
