The impact of different methods of increasing the intensity of compassion in engineering ethics cases
Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk
Despite the growing interest in emotions in engineering education, empirical research on incorporating them into engineering ethics education is limited. Therefore, we designed this experimental study to assess how different methods for integrating compass ...
2024Short-term behavior of glass fiber-polymer composite bending-active elastica beam under service load application
Thomas Keller, Tara Habibi, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos
Bending-active elastica beam is a structural configuration that is based on the elastic deformation of an initially straight beam. This deformation occurs when horizontal displacements are applied to a sliding support, causing the beam to bend into an arch ...
2024Exploring the potential of the critical shear crack theory for reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams: Initial analysis and experiments
Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac
In the evolution of structural glass beam elements, the requirements for post-fracture load bearing capacity and safe failure behaviour have led to the development of reinforced and post-tensioned beams. Maximum bending capacity in the post-fracture state ...
2023Fluid flow through microcracked and fractured granitic reservoirs
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucille Jocelyne Nadine Carbillet, Michael Heap
The permeability of crustal rocks and rock-masses dictates the efficiency of hydrothermal circulation and therefore the productivity of geothermal resources. In this study, we find by monitoring P-wave velocity that thermal microcracking in Lanhélin granit ...
2023A fully-coupled highly-parallelized geomechanical simulator for assessing induced seismicity
Jean-François Molinari, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Guillaume Anciaux, Nicolas Richart, Emil Gallyamov
Induced seismicity caused by anthropogenic modification of the subsurface effective stress state has been observed in a number of industrial applications -- from hydrocarbon extraction (e.g., Groningen [1]), drilling waste-water disposal (e.g., [2]) to the ...
2023Propagation of planar three-dimensional buoyant hydraulic fractures
Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...
