In attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of spinal injuries and spinal deformities, several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to understand the biomechanical behavior of the spine. However, numerical biomechanical studies suf ...
The Morris Water Maze is a widely used task in studies of spatial learning with rodents. Classical performance measures of animals in the Morris Water Maze include the escape latency, and the cumulative distance to the platform. Other methods focus on clas ...
A new finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (FE-HMM) is proposed for the numerical solution of the wave equation over long times in a rapidly varying medium. Our new FE-HMM-L method captures not only the short-time behavior of the wave field, well ...
This work presents a numerical modelling approach of particle packing consolidation, at the particle scale, based on specific numerical methods implemented in a high-performance computing framework. Typically, the sintering process triggers several mass tr ...
We propose a modified parallel-in-time - parareal-multi-level time integration method that, in contrast to previously proposed methods, employs a coarse solver based on a reduced model, built from the information obtained from the fine solver at each itera ...
Folded-plate structures provide an efficient design using thin laminated veneer lumber panels. Inspired by Japanese furniture joinery, the multiple tab-and-slot joint was developed for the multi-assembly of timber panels with non-parallel edges without adh ...
We introduce new sufficient conditions for a numerical method to approximate with high order of accuracy the invariant measure of an ergodic system of stochastic differential equations, independently of the weak order of accuracy of the method. We then pre ...

In this paper, we develop a nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the time-dependent Maxwell's equations when metamaterials are involved. Both semi- and fully-discrete schemes are constructed. Numerical stability and error estimate are proved for ...
This work focuses on Green Functions (GFs) of planar multilayered structures that may include arbitrary number of conductive sheets. The spectral domain GFs are derived through an automatized strategy based on the propagator matrix technique, while the spa ...
We present a novel method to couple molecular dynamics with finite elements at finite temperatures using spatial filters. The mismatch in the dispersion relations between continuum and atomistic models leads, at finite temperature, to unwanted mesh vibrati ...
