Optical concentration obtained by light confinement bears unique features that can increase the efficiency of a photochemical reactor. A suitable implementation of this method for a solar reactor is a series of parallel tubular receivers sealed in a slab-s ...
This paper presents the 2D and 3D numerical analysis of pullout tests on steel anchorages in concrete blocks using standard and mixed finite elements. A novel (stabilized) mixed formulation in the variables of total strain ε and displacements u is introduc ...
In 2013 the Discrete Logarithm Problem in finite fields of small characteristic enjoyed a rapid series of developments, starting with the heuristic polynomial-time relation generation method due to Gologlu, Granger, McGuire and Zumbragel, and culminating w ...
The embedded model is used in finite elements to account for the influence of the reinforcement in concrete. This report describes the embedded model, its concept and equations. Details are also given as to the constitutive relations of concrete and steel. ...
For q a prime power, the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in Fq consists in finding, for any g∈Fq× and h∈⟨g⟩, an integer x such that gx=h. We present an algorithm for computing discrete log ...
We propose a new, black-box online stabilization strategy for reduced basis (RB) approximations of parameter-dependent advection-diffusion problems in the advection-dominated case. Our goal is to stabilize the RB problem irrespectively of the stabilization ...

Extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders. Full-scale laboratory tests of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections dem ...
The development of slip lines, due to strain localization, is a common cause for failure of soil in many circumstances investigated in geotechnical engineering. Through the use of numerical methods – like finite elements – many practitioners are able to ta ...
A method has been presented for accounting for ion fragmentation that occurs within the nonzero field of an ionic electrospray thruster. Given the complexities associated with direct thrust measurements, indirect means (and time-of-flight (TOF) in particul ...
