A numerical investigation of masonry walls subjected to blast loads is presented in this article. A non-linear finite element model is proposed to describe the structural response of the walls. A unilateral contact?friction law is used in the interfaces ...

Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) are a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases. The progression of AD can be conceptualized as a continuum in which patients progress from normal cognition to preclinical AD (i.e., no sym...

Three numerical methods, including element instantaneous failure, continuum damage mechanics, and extended finite element methods, are mainly used to simulate the fracture in cortical bone structure. Although many simulations focus on the cortical bone f...

The shear failure of a reinforced concrete member is a sudden diagonal tension failure; flexible failure is gradual, associated with significant cracks, and leads to extensive sagging. Therefore, reinforced shear rebars are commonly used to ensure that f...

Naphthenic Acids (NA) are important oil extraction subproducts. These chemical species are one of the leading causes of marine pollution and duct corrosion. For this reason, understanding the behavior of NAs in different saline conditions is one of the c...
