In the other study, O'Connell et al 14 used a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of regular housing and case management compared to the traditional approach of multistage continuum housing.
Some popular approaches of the continuum model include the apparent surface charge (ASC) method, the multipole expansion methods, the generalized Born approximation, the image charge methods, and the finite element and finite difference methods [15].
Fractal calculus operator significantly extends the application scope of the classical calculus modeling approach under the framework of continuum mechanics.
The present paper aims to propose a novel approach for damage identification of continuum structures based on their dynamic performances.
The presented work considers the stacked shell approach, using a stack of continuum shell elements and cohesive elements, and focuses on the calibration of simulation input parameters.
The microstructural lattice approach, which includes consideration of continuum limit, allows us to select a type of fractional derivatives that will be more adequately and correctly describe fractional nonlocal continua.
In the present work, we investigate the ability of continuum approaches to predict the most probable orientation of the β-hairpin antimicrobial peptide Protegrin-1 (PG-1) in DLPC lipid bilayers by calculating the difference in the transfer free energy from an aqueous environment to a membrane-water environment for multiple orientations.
Continuum-atomistic modelling denotes a mixed approach combining the usual framework of continuum mechanics with atomistic features like e.g. interaction or rather pair potentials.
Therefore, starting with the work of Beurle [1], a popular modeling approach has been the development of continuum models, called neural fields, that describe the average activity of large populations of neurons (Wilson and Cowan [2, 3], Nunez [4], Amari [5, 6]).
In this paper, with the introduction of a novel complexity control measure built on the structural skeletons of solid and void regions, an explicit structural complexity control approach for the topology optimization of continuum structures is proposed under the framework of level-set representation.
