This work investigated the feasibility of the use of a novel infusible thermoplastic resin (Elium 150 from Arkema) for composite laminate manufacture by resin infusion methods [...]
Abstract
Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) are extensively used in the marine industry for the manufacture of lightweight hull structures for vessels up to 50m in length, and for secondary [...]
Abstract
Faced with the problem of wind speed in generation and the difficulty that this entails in the economic future of electric power, mathematical formulations (functions), called [...]
Abstract
The influence of the microstructural heterogeneities is an important topic in the study of materials. In the context of computational mechanics, it is therefore necessary [...]
Abstract
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) appears as one of the most attractive methods for understanding general geotechnical problems and specifically the behavior of rocks due [...]
Abstract
The present work seeks to analyze the simplified procedures described in ABNT NBR 6118: 2014 for the design of slender columns of reinforced concrete. The standard presents [...]
Abstract
Concrete gravity dams are the most commonly used hydraulic structures in engineering, for the designer these structures, the overall stability (external forces) must be guaranteed [...]
Abstract
Image registration methods are used to establish geometrical correspondences between different datasets. Various characteristics of image data can be exploited to drive image [...]
Abstract
Supply chains are systems characterized by inter-organizational and inter-functional relationships where the markets dynamics and lack of will towards collaborative relationships, [...]
Abstract
This work presents a simpler numerical design method for efficiency maximization of an Hydraulic Jet Pump (HJP) for oil-well extraction process, considering its hydraulic [...]
Abstract
The analysis of structures in the frequency domain has been gaining ground in the last decades, first, because of the computational development and strategies to evaluate [...]
Abstract
The structural monitoring, which is becoming increasingly common, makes it necessary to choose one or more methods of processing and analyzing the obtained data. This choice [...]
