Abstract: In this article, the microscale ice crystal growth behavior under electrostatic field is investigated via a phase field method, which also incorporates the effects of anisotropy and thermal ...

Abstract: A threedimensional (3D) simulation of bioheat transfer is crucial to analyze the physiological processes and evaluate many therapeutic/diagnostic practices spanning from high to low temperature medicine. In this paper we ...

Abstract: A high arch dam project causes an intense disturbance to its geological environment, with high in situ stress in the critical instability state, and the creep and damage of abutment rock mass resulting from the process of ...

Abstract: Because of the nonlinearity nature of contacts, real contact information in discontinuous computation is unknown before analysis. In standard three-dimensional (3D) discontinuous deformation analysis (3D DDA), the ...
