Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdvanced XFEM Simulation of Pull-out and Debonding of Steel Bars and FRP-Reinforcements in Concrete BeamsNicola Orlando, Elena BenvenutiAn innovative three-dimensional model is applied to the pull-out of steel bars and the debonding of FRP plates from concrete specimens. The shearing and opening modes at the interface of debonding is fully captured. The model is based on an innovative variant of the regularized eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) developed by the authors. In this method, the displacement discontinuity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2016 · 8,295 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInfluence of Boundary Conditions on the Behavior of an Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiThe finite element model is used to simulate the behavior of the full scale instrumented anchored reinforced wall. The validated finite element model is then used to carry out parametric studies to ascertain the influence of the boundary conditions on the behavior of the wall. The boundaries at the crest, facing and base of the wall are varied to study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,034 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSimulation of Convective Heat-Transfer Coefficient in a Buried ExchangerTaoufik Mnasri, Rached Ben Younès, Maher Raddaoui, Salem ElouraginiThis study presents analytical models allowing to study a forced convection laminar flow in non-established dynamic and thermic regimes. We treated a flow in a bitubular exchanger in permanent thermal contact with a semi-infinite medium, such as the ground. The wall temperature as well as the wall heat flux evolve in the course of time until a quasi-steady mode. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,903 accessesView PDF Cite
