In the present project a not well-known method has been studied, the dry reopening test DRT. This is a method used to estimate the in-situ stress field of a soil and was. In the context of the project, the test was used to estimate the stress field in the ...
The effective mechanical behavior of snow can be deduced from microstructural homogenization through numerical simulations. Although such numerical upscaling of elasticity and strength of snow microstructures is standard (using FEM), numerical schemes to s ...
We study the mixed system of correlation functions involving a scalar field charged under a global U(1) symmetry and the associated conserved spin-1 current J(mu). Using numerical bootstrap techniques we obtain bounds on new observables not accessible in t ...
This paper shows how a conveyor belt setup can be used to study the dynamics of stationary granular flows. To visualise the flow within the granular bulk and, in particular, determine its composition and the velocity field, we used the refractive index mat ...
We present a systematic method to expand in components four dimensional superconformal multiplets. The results cover all possible N = 1 multiplets and some cases of interest for N = 2. As an application of the formalism we prove that certain N = 2 spinning ...
By using the first-principles approach, we derive a system of three quantum kinetic equations governing the production and evolution of charged scalar particles by an electric field in an expanding universe. Analyzing the ultraviolet asymptotic behavior of ...
A novel approach is introduced to determine the time evolution of optical forces and torques on arbitrary shape nanostructures by combining Maxwell's stress tensor with the surface integral equation method (SIE). Conventional time averaging of Maxwell’s st ...
Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting water under high pressure into the bedrock formation to enhance permeability of deep geo-reservoirs. Faults are planar discontinuities cutting the reservoirs, and their reactivation during injection depends of their ...
We introduce a construction of subspaces of the spaces of tangential vector, n-vector, and tensor fields on surfaces. The resulting subspaces can be used as the basis of fast approximation algorithms for design and processing problems that involve tangenti ...
Isogeometric shape optimization has been now studied for over a decade. This contribution aims at compiling the key ingredients within this promising framework, with a particular attention to sensitivity analysis. Based on all the researches related to iso ...
