We study the directional-ordering transition in the two-dimensional classical and quantum compass models on the square lattice by means of Monte Carlo simulations. An improved algorithm is presented which builds on the Wolff cluster algorithm in one-dimens ...
Rock masses are distinguished from other engineering materials by the existence of joints. When a wave propagates through a rock mass, it is significantly attenuated due to the reflection and dissipation at joints. Great efforts have been made to study the ...
Continuum-scale equations of radiative transfer and corresponding boundary conditions are derived for a general case of a multi-component medium consisting of arbitrary-type, non-isothermal and non-uniform components in the limit of geometrical optics. The ...
Baroreceptors are sensory cells that help the body to keep a constant aortic pressure by regulating cardiovascular parameters. The cardiovascular system can be modelled by several methods, comprising lumped parameter models which represent important parts ...
The expansion project of the ‘’Port de la Nautique’’ and the creation of adjacent new beaches on the ‘’Lac Léman’’ in Geneva is currently under survey. In the conceptual and study phase, numerical- and physicalscaled models have been exploited at the Ecole ...
The design of dies for the light-metal extrusion process is based primarily on the experience of the die designer. The performance of the die is only known after the die is manufactured and tested on the extrusion press. It is still a major challenge for t ...
We present a novel algorithm for the registration of 2D image sequences that combines the principles of multiresolution B-spline-based elastic registration and those of bidirectional consistent registration. In our method, consecutive triples of images are ...
A numerical manifold method (NMM) for plane micropolar elasticity is proposed in this paper to consider the microstructure influence of materials. First, the basic formulations of plane micropolar elasticity are briefly introduced. Then, the equations of s ...
Condition surveying is essential before rehabilitation and modification of a structure. It implies information collection and analysis for structural performance evaluation. Common condition surveying often requires obstructive and invasive techniques that ...
A numerical simulation has been carried out to analyze the modal behavior of a reduced scale pump-turbine impeller. The simulation has been done using FEM method, in air and in water. The same boundary conditions than in the experiment were considered: fre ...
