The utilization of sacrificial layers to strengthen civilian structures against terrorist attacks is of great interest to engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The sacrificial cladding structures are designed to be attached to the façade of...
The manufacturing industry is confronted with increasing demands for digitalization. To realize a digital twin of the cutting process, an increase of the model reliability of the virtual representation becomes necessary. Thereby, different models are...
Dimensioning and assessment of a specific wind turbine imply iterative steps for design optimization, as well as load calculations and performance analyses of the system in various environmental conditions. However, due to the complexity of wind turb...
Every day, new data must be analysed as well as possible in all areas of applied science, which requires the development of attractive statistical models, that is to say adapted to the context, easy to use and efficient. In this article, we innovate...
In this work, the performance of reliability methods for the probabilistic analysis of local scour at a bridge pier is investigated. The reliability of bridge pier scour is one of the important issues for the risk assessment and safety evaluation of...
Accurate modelling and simulation of a nuclear power plant are important factors in the strategic planning and maintenance of the plant. Several nonlinearities and multivariable couplings are associated with real-world plants. Therefore, it is quite...
Understanding the operation of filters used to remove particulates from fluids is important in many practical industries. Typically the particles are larger than the pores in the filter so a cake layer of particles forms on the filter surface. Here w...
The digital factory provides undoubtedly great potential for future production systems in terms of efficiency and effectivity. A key aspect on the way to realize the digital copy of a real factory is the understanding of complex indoor environments o...
