The nature of the fracture and fragmentation processes in concrete medium under blast loading is the transformation of the medium from continuum to discontinuity. Coupled with the significant rate correlation of concrete medium, its mechanical behavior p...

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 ...

Barbados is heavily reliant on groundwater resources for its potable water supply, with over 80% of the island?s water sourced from aquifers. The ability to meet demand will become even more challenging due to the continuing climate crisis. The consequen...

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...
