saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (pbe) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. in this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used for d...

Layerwise computability is an effective counterpart to continuous functions that are almosteverywhere defined. This notion was introduced by Hoyrup and Rojas [17]. A function defined on Martin-Löf random inputs is called layerwise computable, if it becomes computable if each input is equipped with some bound on the layer where it passes a fixed universal Martin-Löf test. Interesting examples of...

Composite laminates are prone to delamination. Implementation of delamination in the Carrera Unified Formulation frame work using nine noded quadrilateral MITC9 element is discussed in this article. MITC9 element is devoid of shear locking and membrane locking. Delaminated as well as healthy structure is analysed for free mode vibration. The results from the present work are compared with the a...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

Recent developments on the optimization and parameter estimation in hybrid active-passive composite sandwich structures are presented. For this purpose, a mixed layerwise finite element model has been formulated, by considering a higher order shear deformation theory to represent the displacement field in the viscoelastic core and a first order theory for the displacement fields of the adjacent...

There is a growing research and production interest for the application of lower-cost hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels composed layers dissimilar quality. Therefore, an approach design cost-effective CLT in bending, based on existing analytical novel finite element procedures, presented paper. The gamma-method, extended gamma method, composite theory are applied analysis square panels...
