The aim of the present work is to present an efficient numerical tool for the simulation of the behavior of 3D assemblies of structures with contact and friction when strong structural modifications occur. The paper focuses on the effects of missing connection elements (screws, bolts, rivets, . . . ) on the behavior of the assembly. A fast and efficient domain decomposition strategy for predict...

In ITER, the ‘Pipe Forest (PF)’ is a network of pipes that connects Ancillary Equipment Unit to Test Blanket Module (TBM) at level equatorial port-plug reactor prototype. The goal ITER's TBM program validate concepts be adopted for DEMO tritium Breeding Blankets. Different types are mounted on among which those used cooling or processing. During plasma operation, PF has accommodate severe therm...

Model Johnson-Holmquist is commonly used for simulation of brittle materials under impacts and blast loading. In this paper described its application to a model bolted connection in glass, when constant force applied, effect two mesh sizings compared.

Kronična bubrežna bolest je dei nirana smanjenjem bubrežne funkcije dulje od tri mjeseca i klasii cirana je prema stupnju smanjenja glomerularne i ltracije (GF) u pet stadija (1,2). U petom stadiju su bolesnici s klirensom kreatinina ispod 15 mL/min/1,73 m, s liječenjem dijalizom ili bez liječenja dijalizom. Osim smanjenja GF, KBB često prate i drugi poremećaji kao što su: gubitak proteina urin...

The results of the studies are presented which is an extension earlier authors’ work combined bolted-welded joints for building steel structures. Data on parameters stress-strain state finite-element models physical specimens bolted, welded and connections given. These manufactured being prepared testing. There some special features design numerical models: conditions have been created realizat...

We propose research into and development of a “Knowledge-Bundle Builder for Bio-Research.” We direct our proposed research at the broad Challenge Area 04: Clinical Research and the specific Challenge Topic 04-NS-102 Developing web-based entry and data-management tools for clinical research. The volume of biological data is enormous and increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, the information a bio-re...
