Abstract: Approximation frameworks for phase-field models of brittle fracture are presented and compared in this work. Such methods aim to address the computational cost associated with conducting full-scale simulations of brittle ...

Abstract: With the accelerated worldwide urbanization process, land-use zoning has been playing an increasingly important role in urban planning and development. Ahead of detailed planning, regional land-use zoning provides significant ...

Abstract: Coherency identification among generators plays an important role in controlled islanding and wide-area monitoring of a power system with renewable energy sources. So far, wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) have been ...
