We have developed a three-dimensional hybrid finite-discrete element model to investigate the mode I tensile opening failure of alumina ceramic. This model implicitly considers the flaw system in the material and explicitly shows the macroscopic fail...
This paper expands upon the state of the art in nonlinear modeling of automotive air conditioning systems. Prior models considered only the effects of the refrigerant compressor and the condenser fan. There are two new aspects included here. First, w...
Fouling, caused by the adhesion of fine materials to the blades of the compressor’s last stages, changes the airfoil’s shape and function and the inlet flow angle on the blades. As the fouling increases, the range of influence increases,...
Machine learning algorithms have been widely used in public health for predicting or diagnosing epidemiological chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, which is classified as an epi-demic due to its high rates of global prevalence. Machine learn...
High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]
Decision making as a result of system dynamics analysis requires, in practice, a straightforward and systematic modeling capability as well as a high-level of customization and flexibility to adapt to situations and environments that may vary very mu...
Melby presents a formula to predict damage evolution in rubble-mound breakwaters whose armour layer is made of rock, based on the erosion measured in scale-model tests and the characteristics of the incident sea waves in such tests. However, this for...
