Physical properties of magnesian lime mortars
(2010)Magnesian lime is made from dolomitic limestone. The properties of magnesian lime mortars are not yet clearly established: some authors claim that Mg-lime has no hydraulicity and produces poor quality mortars that fracture, ... -
Physical modeling of turbulence wind field for wind turbines
(2023)Wind load is one of the most important dynamic excitations of wind turbine systems, reasonable description and simulation of turbulence wind field lays a significant foundation for the elaborative dynamic response analysis ... -
Physical properties and reactivity of pozzolans, and their influence on the properties of lime-pozzolan pastes
(2011)This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime?pozzolan pastes. ... -
Physically driven full probabilistic uncertainty propagation in complex nonlinear structures
(2023)The safety and reliability evaluation of complex engineering structures under dynamic loading conditions has long been a challenging problem. The coupling of nonlinearity and randomness in high-dimensional or large-degre ... -
Physically driven GE-GDEE and absorbing boundary processes for the first-passage reliability assessment of high-dimensional systems under stochastic excitations
(2023)Accurate reliability assessment of high-dimensional systems excited by stochastic loads is demanding and challenging. The recently developed Globally-Evolving-Based Generalized Probability Density Evolution Equation (GE-GDEE) ... -
Physically-driven GE-GDEE and its application to stochastic seismic response and dynamic reliability analyses of practical engineering structures
(2023)Stochastic seismic response and dynamic reliability analyses of large-scale high-rise building structures under earthquake actions is one of the most challenging problems in engineering field. Both the randomness from ... -
Physics model-based probabilistic process optimization and control
(2023)A model-based approach for process design and control is more efficient and economical than the physical experiment-based trial-and-error approach in advanced manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing (AM). ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ... -
PISA: New Design Methods for Offshore Wind Turbine Monopiles
(2017)Improved design of laterally loaded monopiles is central to the development of current and future generation offshore wind farms. Previously established design methods have demonstrable shortcomings requiring new ideas and ... -
Planning by Cycle Parking Type: A Cycle Parking Preference Typology for Cyclists
(2022)The purpose of this study is to develop a typology of cycle parking type preferences among a sample who have access to a cycle and travel within or to the electoral county of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland. Valid online ... -
Plasmonic Interaction in Enhanced Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers for Photovoltaic Devices
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)Harvesting solar energy has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and to provide clean energy contributing to sustainable development. Most photovoltaic (PV) research to date has focused on achieving higher PV conversion ... -
Polynomial Chaos Surrogate Construction for Stochastic Models with Parametric Uncertainty
(2023)Mesoscopic modeling of surface chemistry bridges atomistic and continuum modeling of surface kinetics. Studying these models, typically simulated via kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) methods, is crucial for understanding events ... -
Poorly-informative priors in geotechnical risk analysis
(2023)Quantitative risk analysis has become a common part of geotechnical engineering. In domains such as dam safety, seismic hazard assessment, and flood damage reduction it has come to depend to a large extent on personalized ... -
Post Covid-19 water and waste water management to protect public health and geoenvironment
(2021)The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has posed severe threats to humans and the geoenvironment. The findings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2) traces in waste water and the practice of ... -
Potential of a low-calcium fly ash (FA) for the production of alkali-activated materials
(2020)Coal-FA from power stations is an industrial waste abundantly produced in the world. FA can be used asa silicate precursor, and activated with an alkali-metal source to produce alkali-activated materials (AAMs).AAMs are ... -
