PROTOTYPE APPLICATIONS OF A GENERALIZED SHORELINE CHANGE NUMERICAL MODEL

Robabilistic Shoreline Change Modeling

dology is developed in which a simple deterministic shoreline change model is in a probabilistic manner as one component of a quantitative coastal change assessment. The main drivers of decadal-scale shoreline change, wave climate ment supply, are varied within a range of realistic scenarios to develop over 200 e change model simulations. Through numerous SWAN wave simulations, a table is devel...

Shoreline Change Patterns in Sandy

12 13 Coastal changes on sandy shorelines are continuous and occur at diverse spatial and 14 temporal scales. Gaining knowledge on beach change processes increases our capability 15 to manage risks affecting the increasing population living in coastal areas, especially 16 shoreline erosion. Processes and factors involved in mediumand short-term beach 17 changes depend on the morphological and d...

A generalized model of non-linear viscoelasticity: numerical issues and applications

In this paper, we consider a non-linear viscoelastic model with internal variable, thoroughly analyzed by Le Tallec et al. (Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg 1993; 109:233–258). Our aim is to study here the implementation in three dimensions of a generalized version of this model. Computational results will be analyzed to validate our model on toy problems without geometric complexity, for whic...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
