Brittle oxide glasses can easily break into fragments because of crack branching during fracture. The fundamental mechanism underlying this common phenomenon remains controversial. In study, using atomic-scale simulations with three independent force fields, we directly observe in silica glass. critical speed at which the branches increases far field loading. atomic revealed that brittle glass ...

This chapter presents what a future environment for building system modeling and simulation may look like. As buildings continue to require increased performance and better comfort, their energy and control systems are becoming more integrated and complex. We therefore focus in this chapter on the modeling, simulation and analysis of building energy and control systems. Such systems can be clas...

Membrane chromatography (MC) is gaining wider acceptance in downstream processing of biopharmaceuticals. MC offers the advantage of higher operational flow-rates and thus, provides an attractive alternative to traditionally employed packed bed chromatography. With increased commercial usage, in-depth understanding of different mechanisms within MC capsules is desirable in order to achieve optim...
