This contribution addresses the mathematical modeling and numerical approximation of the excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms in the heart. The main physiological issues are preliminarily sketched along with an extended overview to the relevant liter ...
The numerical simulation of free-surface flows around sailing boats is a complex topic that addresses multiple mathematical tasks: the correct study of the flow field around a rigid hull, the numerical simulation of the hull dynamics, the deformation of th ...
In recent years, the complexity of geomechanical problems has greatly increased as a result of the demand for new and intricate types of applications. Experimental characterization and numerical prediction by means of multiphysical approaches are in that c ...
The characterization of the temporal profile of plasmonic fields is important both from the fundamental point of view and for potential applications in ultrafast nanoplasmonics. It has been proposed by Stockman et al (2007 Nat. Photonics 1 539) that the pl ...

We develop in this paper a model for the numerical simulation of free surface debris- and mudflows, described as a mixture of two viscous phases A Lagrangian approach with finite element approximation and regular remeshing is adopted in this paper. The pro ...
This study proposes a new advanced algorithm for determining material parameters based on in situ tests. In situ testing gives an opportunity to perform soil characterization in natural stress conditions on a representative soil mass. Most field techniques ...
Due to the difficulties of fracture mechanics in dealing with multicrack problems, the continuum-based numerical methods always encounter mathematical problems when modeling rock fragmentation, so the alternative discontinuum-based numerical approaches are ...
A unified and comparative treatment of traditional potentiometric and amperometric enzyme electrodes and of enzyme reactors is presented. Exact theoretical descriptions are given for limiting cases, and relatively simple approaches for general cases. The l ...
Therapies using so called extracorporeal shock waves (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy ESWT) have become current medical practice in orthopedy and traumatology. In order to understand and to optimize the effect of shock waves in clinical applications, med ...
The research work reported in this dissertation is aimed to develop efficient and stable numerical schemes in order to obtain accurate numerical solution for viscoelastic fluid flows within the spectral element context. The present research consists in the ...
