A semi-empirical S-N formulation for the modeling of the constant amplitude fatigue behavior of composite materials and structures is introduced in this paper. The new S-N formulation is based on the commonly used exponential and power law fatigue models. ...
The recent availability of geospatial information as linked open data has generated new interest in geospatial query processing and reasoning, a topic with a long tradition of research in the areas of databases and artificial intelligence. In this paper we ...
We propose a real-time solution for modeling and tracking multiple 3D objects in unknown environments for Augmented Reality. The proposed solution consists of both scalable tracking and interactive modeling. Our contribution is twofold: First, we show how ...
Until now, most efforts to improve monosaccharide production from biomass through pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis have used empirical optimization rather than employing a rational design process guided by a theory-based modeling framework. For such a ...
A practical approach for accurately modeling reconfigurable lumped components, such as semiconductor diodes or micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), in commercial full-wave solvers is presented. First, an equivalent-circuit model is extracted from a cali ...

Sphere-pac fuel, together with Vipac fuel, is one of the most elaborate particle fuel concepts. In Chapter 00059, Sphere-pac and VIPAC, the Sphere-pac and Vipac concepts are discussed from a more general perspective, explaining the motivation, the producti ...
This work focuses on some promising applications of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based bimorph actuators in microengineering. The actuator of several centimeters in length and 100 mu m in thickness takes advantage of the structural and electromechanical ...
Distributed algorithms research focuses on interactions and communication between independent systems and processors in diverse scenarios. These algorithms are usually written as abstract pseudo-code, and turning them into compilable and runnable code is a ...
With a few exceptions, phase-field simulations of dendritic growth in cubic materials have been modeled using simple expressions for the interfacial energy anisotropy and with strong anisotropy. However, recent experimental results show that the Dendrite O ...
Real world planning applications typically involve making decisions that consumes limited resources, which requires both planning and scheduling. In this paper we propose a new approach that bridges the gap between planning and scheduling by explicitly mod ...
