Bone stress evaluation with and without cortical bone using several dental restorative materials subjected to impact load: a fully 3D transient finite-element study
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-10)
Article
Open AccessPrevious peri-implantitis, peri-implant bone regeneration, or immediate implant placement postextraction may be responsible for the absence of cortical bone. Single crown materials are then relevant when dynamic forces are ... -
Statistical techniques for predicting rupture risk in abdominal aortic aneurysms: A contribution based on bootstrap
(2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe morphometry of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been recognized as one of the main factors that may predispose them to rupture. The need to quantify the morphometry of AAA on a patient-specific basis constitutes a ... -
Analytical design method for the improvement of steel structures stability
(2021-09)
Article
Open AccessThis article presents a design method for the improvement of steel structures stability by modifying their structural elements parameters. The available parameters can be selected from a predefined list of stiffness and ... -
Comparison Between Two Types of Seismic Tests of Racking Systems
(2021-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper is the result of both experimental and numeric analyses on pallet rack components. Two cyclic testing protocols for beam-end connectors of adjustable racking systems are compared; such experiments are named as ... -
Factors for the automation of the creation of virtual reality experiences to raise awareness of occupational hazards on construction sites
(2021-06)
Article
Open AccessTwo of the differential characteristics of the AECO sector (architecture, engineering, construction and operation) are barriers for the mass creation of training materials for its workers. On the one hand, the workplace ... -
A Lagrangian nodal integration method for free-surface fluid flows
(2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a Lagrangian nodal integration method for the simulation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian free-surface fluid flows. The proposed nodal Lagrangian method uses a finite element mesh to discretize the computational ... -
Simulations of landslide wave generation and propagation using the particle finite element method
(Wiley, 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, the impulse waves generated by highly mobile slides in large-scale flume experiments are reproduced numerically with the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). The numerical technique combines a Lagrangian ... -
A fully Lagrangian formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems with free-surface flows and fracturing solids
(2021-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents a novel coupled formulation for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving free-surface fluid flows, fracture phenomena, solid mutual contact and large displacements. The numerical formulation ... -
3D simulation of Vajont disaster. Part 2: multi-failure scenarios
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessPrediction of multi-hazard slope stability events requires an informed and judicious choice of the possible scenarios. An incorrect definition of landslide conditions in terms of expected failure volume, material behavior, ... -
Suitability of seismic isolation for buildings founded on soft soil. Case study of a RC building in Shanghai
(2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessBase (seismic) isolation is a promising technology for seismic protection of buildings and other constructions. Nowadays, it is accepted that such a technique is efficient and reliable; however, it has two major limitations: ... -
Physiological and geometrical effects in the upper airways with and without mandibular advance device for sleep apnea treatment
(Nature, 2020-03-24)
Article
Open AccessSleep apnea is a sleep disorder that occurs when the breathing of a person is interrupted during the sleep. This interruption occurs because of the patient has narrowed airways and the upper airways muscles relax, closes ... -
Partitioned strong coupling of discrete elements with large deformation structural finite elements to model impact on highly flexible tension structures
(Hindawi, 2020-11)
Article
Open AccessThis article presents a staggered approach to couple the interaction of very flexible tension structures with large deformations, described with the finite element method (FEM), and objects undergoing large, complex, and ...
