Sentence examples for alternative continuum from inspiring English sources

In the meshfree Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics [ 75] an alternative continuum approach instead of using static or moving partitions of the domain (meshes), it is covered by discrete elements known as particles, which act as locations where the aforementioned differential equations are solved [ 75, 76].

We therefore defined alternative continua, i.e., a linear and two polynomial ones, able to describe spectra of any area (i.e. bright or dark) and regardless of spatial resolution.

As an alternative to continuum approaches, the discrete element method (DEM) has been used by researchers to model granular material under large deformation.

In this study, a discrete-based modelling method is proposed, as an alternative to existing continuum methods, to analyse the fracturing behaviour of soft rocks.

Figure 3 Alternative or a continuum of restoration goals that may help to gradually shift a degraded site, dominated by an invasive plant species, towards a more desirable state with increased species diversity and improved ecosystem functioning.

In addition to offering an alternative in the continuum of risk modelling approaches (e.g. mechanistic, statistical, Bayesian and decision-analytic [13]) for NM risk, our BN tool could also be used in conjunction with a weight of evidence [10] approach and/or multi criteria decision analysis methodologies [52].

30 These findings broadly suggest that, from an economic perspective, MIS is a reasonable treatment alternative along the continuum of care between continued nonoperative care and open arthodesis surgery.

The CPS Perception Scale measures perceptions of responsibility for the treatment decision (see Table 1), presenting the patient/surgeon with five corresponding response alternatives along a continuum, from the patient to the doctor solely making the treatment decision.

Alternative methods, such as continuum models, are needed to simulate such systems.

Beyond this, the concept of boundary eigensolutions provides an alternative view of computational continuum mechanics that may lead to the development of other non-traditional approaches.
