A new 3D simulation tool developed by ETH and SLF researchers now allows for significantly more accurate predictions of ...

Mineralogy articles from across Nature Portfolio Mineralogy is the study of minerals, the building blocks of rocks, which are naturally-occurring, crystalline solids with a set chemical make-up ...

In this work, a topology optimization procedure is proposed and applied to the TEAM 25 problem, i.e., a model of a die press with an electromagnet for orientation of magnetic powder. The shape of the ...

Selecting a model topology that realistically predicts biomechanical function remains an unsolved problem. Today's dominant modeling approach is to replicate experimental input/output data by ...

There is a close relationship between the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) evolution and the stress state during loading of composite coal-rock. In this research, the coal-rock EMR generation mechanism ...

Panet [16] and J. Sulem [17] analyzed the aging characteristics of a circular tunnel and considered the plastic mechanical properties of the surrounding rock, overcoming the disadvantage that the ...
