Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Langevin Dynamics for Importance Sampling in Reliability Analysis
(2023)Importance Sampling (IS) is a popular simulation method for the reliability analysis of general engineering systems. Its core idea is to build a biased density that can sample from the failure domain more frequently than ... -
Large electroclinic effect and stability of chiral smectic liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2009)Large electroclinic effect in the smectic-A* phase and stability of smectic-C* variant phases are investigated in detail. Investigation of large electroclinic effect in the smectic-A* phase is one of the recent topics, and ... -
Learning Nash Equilibria in Distributed Channel Selection for Frequency-Agile Radios
(2012)Wireless communication networks are evolving towards self- configuring, autonomous and distributed multiagent systems in which nodes are deployed randomly and have to adapt to the en- vironment in which they operate. A ... -
LEGO MINDSTORMS AS A TEACHING TOOL IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
(2010)The primary purpose of this paper is the development of an active-learning, constructivist coursework plan, adhering to the Conceive Design Implement Operate (CDIO) initiative, for integration with the standard second level ... -
Leveraging data-driven approaches to explore the effect of various disaster policies on post-earthquake household relocation decision making
(2023)Earthquake events can cause affected households to relocate. Post-earthquake relocation disrupts displaced householdsメ social ties as well as their access to affordable services. Simulation models that capture post-earthquake ... -
Life-Cycle Residual Performance Assessment of Concrete Bridges Considering Spatial Variability of Corrosion
(2023)A recent SEI/ASCE survey highlights that advanced life-cycle models for deteriorating structures are well established for some of the most detrimental damage processes (e.g. corrosion). However, reliability assessment ... -
Lime mortars for masonry repair: Analytical science and laboratory testing versus practical experience
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Line registration of jittered video
(1997)With the imminent widespread availability of digital video broadcasts and the subsequent increase in the demand for broadcast material, image sequence restoration is an increasing source of concern for both archivists and ... -
Liquid crystal display modes in a nontilted bent-core biaxial smectic liquid crystal
(2010)Liquid crystal display (LCD) modes associated with the rotation of the secondary director in nontilted, biaxial smectic phase of an achiral bent-core compound are demonstrated. For LCDs, we find that at least four display ... -
Local Heat Transfer to an Evaporating Sessile Droplet in an Electric Field
(2016)Local heat transfer of an evaporating sessile droplet under a static electric field is an underdeveloped topic. In this research an 80 μl water droplet is placed in the centre of a 25 μm thick stainless steel substrate. A ... -
Local heat transfer to an evaporating superhydrophobic droplet
(2018)The heat flux distribution beneath a superhydrophobic evaporating droplet has been explored. High speed, high resolution infrared thermography was employed to measure the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporating ...
