The classical elastic theory of layered beams is used for the analysis of cross-laminated timber (CLT) beams. A brief introduction of the theory is given and followed by examples. The theory of layered beams offers a widely ...

The results from a comprehensive set of validation measurements of the Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD) are presented. The measurements took place at the Aurora instrumented road test site in Muonio, Finnish Lapland, at ...

Plenty of studies exist in books and archival journals dealing with different types of heat exchangers. In the paper an analytical approach to evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient of a new type heat exchanger is ...

Purpose – Building Information Modelling (BIM) education promises new and exciting opportunities for more integrated learning experiences, multidisciplinary collaboration and greater synthesis between the learning environment ...

Purpose – Creating a BIM-enabled learning space that spans both higher education and industry offers the possibility of immersive and integrated learning on the basis of real, up-to-date project data for a new generation ...

In railway track asset management, limited funding is available to ensure safe and punctual train traffic on an aging rail network. Assessing railway structure problems, their severity and extent is a difficult and laborious ...

The effect of rock crystal anisotropy is tested in numerical simulation of rock fracture at the laboratory sample level of scale. For this end, a numerical model based on the embedded discontinuity finite element method ...

This paper presents a numerical study on a possible piezoelectric effect in thermal drilling of Quartz bearing rocks. For this end, the governing piezoelectro-thermo-mechanical problem is solved with the finite element ...

In this work, an extension of a previously developed continuum based high-cycle fatigue model is enhanced to also capture the low-cycle fatigue regime, where significant plastic deformation of the bulk material takes place. ...
