Abstract

The heat transfer between an impinging circular jet and a flat plate is studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) for different Prandtl numbers of the fluid. The thermal field is resolved for Pr= 1, 0.72, 0.025, and 0.01. The flow is incompressible and the temperature [...]

Abstract

Guided wave-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) tools utilize the guided wave responses to interrogate damage in structures. This research demonstrates the use of various objective functions in single (mono) objective and multi-objective genetic algorithms for damage identification [...]

Abstract

The behavior of allophanic soils is directly related to their fabric and structure. They are transformed according to their weathering degree through biogeochemical processes that may give rise to changes in the minerals. This paper investigated the influence of weathering degree [...]
