In modern engineering systems, reliability and safety can be conferred by efficient automatic monitoring and fault detection algorithms, allowing for the early identification and isolation of incipient faults. In case of large-scale and complex systems, sc ...
Localized surface plasmons are charge density oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles. Excitation of localized surface plasmons by an electromagnetic field at an incident wavelength where resonance occurs results in a strong light scattering and an ...
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views expressed in this Forum article do not ...
The basis of the discrete element method is to model masses interacting with each other through different forces and constraints. On each mass, the second law of Newton is applied to obtain a differential equation. From this equation and boundary condition ...
Through their role in labs, exercise/recitation sessions and tutorials, graduate or doctoral teaching assistants play a significant role in the education of engineering students. Yet doctoral assistants frequently get little pedagogical training, what trai ...
This report proposes an overview of the activities and services provided by the Library to the School of engineering (STI) in 2015, as well as the STI collection accessible at the Library. It also presents the main projects that will be continued or initia ...
During the 17th century, being an engineer at the Medici Court was a discipline at the intersection of mathematics, and the pictorial and mechanical arts. Born out of the heritage of Alberti, Vinci, and Vasari, the Accademia del disegno - founded on the th ...
Brain stroke is an age-related illness which has become a major issue in our ageing societies. Early diagnosis and treatment are of high importance for the full recovery of the patient, as reminded in Anglo-Saxon countries by the abbreviation FAST (Face, A ...
A multi-scale methodology for the radiative transfer analysis of heterogeneous media composed of morphologically-complex components on two distinct scales is presented. The methodology incorporates the exact morphology at the various scales and utilizes vo ...
