Abstract: A comprehensive set of cavitation damage data has been obtained in a vibratory facility using water, mercury, lithium, and lead-bismuth alloy as test fluids, and covering temperatures ranging ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of different hydrological input data on the management simulation of a water resources system (WRS). Three complete simulations were carried out using synthetic inflow series generated ...

Abstract: The mixture of activated paper sludge and fly ash can successfully be used as pozzolans for the manufacture of a more ecological portland cement. The saturation indexes and the mineral stability fields of a pozzolanic ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of organic matter content and the curing conditions on the one-dimensional compressibility of Portuguese soft soil stabilized with binders, with a special emphasis on creep behavior. Consolidation ...

Abstract: This article presents and discusses various aspects regarding the modeling of the behavior of a coarse granular material using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Constructive Algorithms (CAs). A series of undrained ...

Abstract: The load transfer mechanism across the skeleton of the human foot is very important to understand its biomechanical function. In this work, we develop several computational models to compare ...

Abstract: Great advances in meteorological science were made in the late eighteenth century. In particular, meteorological instruments were carried on ships and the first systematic meteorological readings over the oceans were made. ...
