The miniaturization trend in industry requires micro devices for handling and sensing in a micro environment. As the size of the handled objects decreases and their fragility increases, the demand for sensors with higher force sensitivity and resolution gr ...
The contributions assembled in the present volume proceed from the lectures of the 2009 ALERT Geomaterials School devoted to the Failure in the multiphase geomaterials. The multiphase behaviour of geomaterials used to be mainly considered from the point of ...
This paper is the basis for a course dedicated to the geomechanics modelling, taking into account multiphysics couplings. A number of different coupling are discussed, with respectively the fluid flow (saturated and unsaturated) and the thermal transfers i ...
In this paper we tackle a variation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in which each customer can be served by more than one vehicle, each serving a fraction of its demand. This problem is known as the Split Delivery VRP (SDVRP). Due to the potential sav ...
This thesis presents, develops and applies new methodologies that can quantitatively probe the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of biomaterials at the nanoscale. Elastic and viscous properties are important characteristics of materials, such as many ...
We present a two-dimensional granular model for the mechanical behavior of an ensemble of globular grains during solidification. The grain structure is produced by a Voronoi tessellation based on an array of predefined nuclei. We consider the fluid flow ca ...
Since it generates a multitude of interacting cracks, the computational modeling of fragmentation requires special attention. The discontinuous Galerkin formulation provides an efficient scalable framework to simulate non-linear dynamics of spatially discon ...
The goal of this study is to analyze mechanical behavior of a new scaffold composed of PLA/bTCP in revision knee arhtroplasty (RKA). For this purpose, finite element models of RKA was developed to study the importance of the geometry of bones, the fixation ...
The currents in the lowest few millimeters of the bottom boundary layer of lakes are highly important for the dissipation of kinetic energy and for chemical processes such as oxygen transfer into the sediment. So far, no high-resolution flow velocity profi ...
Using silhouettes in uncontrolled environments typically requires handling occlusions as well as changing or cluttered backgrounds, which limits the applicability of most silhouette based methods. For the purpose of 3--D shape modeling, we show that repres ...
