In this paper, the experimental set up used to obtain the macroscopic results, the numerical model implemented in ABAQUS® EXPLICIT and the results concerning the friction between TiN coated carbide tools and AISI 316L during turning operations are described.
The numerical model, implemented into the FE code Abaqus, is a sophisticated micro-modelling (heterogeneous) approach, where bricks and mortar are meshed separately by means of 4-noded plane strain elements exhibiting distinct damage in tension and compression, FRP is assumed elastic and an elastic uncoupled cohesive layer is interposed between FRP reinforcement and masonry pillar.
Numerical modeling implementing an elastic plastic orthotropic material model with hydrostatic pressure dependent yield surface is used to model the pressure dependent response of the MMC during impact to predict the ballistic limit, and to offer insight into the damage mechanisms occurring during dynamic loading of woven fabric reinforced MMC.
The observed water flow and Br− transport were inversely simulated using mobile immobile (MIM), dual-permeability (DPM), and combined triple-porosity (DP-MIM) numerical models implemented in HYDRUS-1D, with improving correspondence between empirical data and model results.
Several 3D numerical models implemented by CFD-RC packages were established to first simulate these hydraulic experiments and then used to evaluate the cell performance of a single-cell stack using different designs of interconnects with different flow uniformity over a wide range of a hydraulic Reynolds number (Re) based on a hydraulic diameter of rib-channels.
Predictions based on numerical modelling are considered more appropriate, and, since debris and sediment flows exhibit similar behaviour to tailings flows, numerical models implemented for the analysis of rapid landslide run-out are suitable for the modelling of tailings dynamics.
Optimization of permeability values was accomplished by numerical integrations using the mathematical model implemented in the Berkeley Madonna software (http://www.berkeleymadonna.com/).
The numerical model implements energy and mass conservation equations of humid air and water in a one-dimensional geometry by applying correlations for heat and mass transfer coefficients.
Oliver Mitesser developed the mathematical model, implemented and carried out the numerical calculations and drafted the manuscript.
