The evaluation of avalanche release depths constitutes a great challenge for risk assessment in mountainous areas. This study focuses on slab avalanches, which generally result from the rupture of a weak layer underlying a cohesive slab. We use the finite- ...
A new model considering fixed and interlocked cracks for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) cracked membrane elements is presented. The model can be regarded as an extension of the cracked membrane model proposed by Kaufmann and Marti. Its value lies ...
It is common for biological networks to encounter situations where agents need to decide between multiple options, such as deciding between moving towards one food source or another or between moving towards a new hive or another. In previous works, we dev ...
This paper studies the problem of demand driven employee scheduling for direct-sales retail outlets. The demand for sales personnel during each half hour is predicted a week in advance based on previous recorded data and the problem of computing an optimal ...
UrbanSim is an integrated transportation land-use model that has been under development since the late 1990s. It has received a significant amount of attention in the integrated modeling community. It is well known for its disaggregated approach. A number ...
BA/MMA (90:10 wt.-%) were copolymerized in the presence of two different organomodified clays (C30B and CMA16) and 1.6-2.6wbm.-% surfactants. The effect of the compatibility of the organoclay in the monomer mixture on the morphology of hybrid polymer/clay ...
We derive a three-dimensional constitutive theory accounting for length-scale dependent internal residual stresses in crystalline materials that develop due to a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of the excess dislocation (edge and screw) density. The s ...
Recently a hybrid model based on the finite element method and on a compartmental biophysical representation of peripheral nerve fibers and intraneural electrodes was developed founded on experimental physiological and histological data. The model appeared ...
In the context of nuclear waste geological storage, deep argillaceous formations are likely to be subjected to complex mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal loads. In particular, the argillaceous material can be firstly dried, and then re-wetted. During the l ...
