Fiber-reinforced concrete represents the current tendency to apply more efficient crack-resistant concrete. For instance, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a polyester polymer obtained from ...

The dynamic resilient modulus M r, as the main mechanical index to measure the deformation resistance of compacted soil under traffic loading, is defined as the ratio of cyclic bias stress to ...

The PaStiX (Parallel Sparse matriX package) is a open-source scientific library that provides a high performance parallel solver for very large sparse linear systems based on direct methods. Numerical ...

Purpose: To investigate the ex vivo elastic modulus of human corneal stroma using tensile testing with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and its correlation with in vivo measurements using ...

This first tutorial is intended to serve as a base for the rest of practical exercises of the course. Based on a simplified high-rise building design, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) case solving ...

It is widely accepted that the flow theory of plasticity significantly overestimates buckling stresses and strains and, in some cases, fails to predict buckling at all, while the deformation theory, ...

Myopia is very prevalent worldwide, especially among Asian populations. Orthokeratology is a proven intervention to reduce myopia progression. The current study investigated association between ...

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.
