This study focuses on the finite element simulation of piles with different models in sandy soils using software PLAXIS 3D V20. The parametric has conducted to investigate influence multiple parameters axial capacity steel soil, including cross-section variables two cases: open and close-ended piles. typical circular square were selected as reference for comparison open-ended tapered pile 3b sh...

We investigate the accuracy of the Godunov scheme applied to the variable cross-section acoustic equations. Contrarily to the constant cross-section case, the accuracy issue of this scheme in the low Mach number regime appears even in the one-dimensional case; on the other hand, we show that it is possible to construct another Godunov type scheme which is accurate in the low Mach number regime.

We propose a finite volume scheme for computing two-fluid flows in variable cross-section ducts. Our scheme satisfies a well-balanced property. It is based on the VFRoe approach. The VFRoe variables are the Riemann invariants of the stationnary wave and the cross-section. In order to avoid spurious pressure oscillations, the well-balanced approach is coupled with an ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eu...

Schlatter A measurement of the total pp cross section at the LHC at √ s = 8 TeV is presented. An integrated luminosity of 500 μb−1 was accumulated in a special run with high-β beam optics to measure the differential elastic cross section as a functio...

A master element to be employed as a general spatial rod finite element is presented. This spatially curved and pretwisted element can have variable cross-section and variable curvature change. It may also be resting on an elastic foundation. Also, a finite element formulation for a general earthquake analysis of spatial rods is presented. The theoretical foundation has lead to a general-purpos...
