A large strain chemo-thermo-mechanical numerical framework has been developed to model the coupled chemical, thermal and mechanical behavior of solid propellant at the meso-scale. The mechanical behavior is modeled using ...

The earthquake problem needs to be attacked from different directions and one important means to achieve seismic safety is to propagate building typologies that are inherently better against earthquakes. The confined masonry ...

Droughts play a significant role in the planning and management of water resources. Variations in the frequency and magnitude of long-term (24-60 months) droughts exert far-reaching impacts on surface and groundwater ...

We analyze and optimize the performance of coupled plasmonic nanoantennas for refractive index sensing. The investigated structure supports a sub- and a superradiant mode that originates in the weak coupling of a dipolar ...
