The effect of groundwater flow on the thermal front created by borehole heat exchangers

Tolooiyan, Ali ; Hemmingway, Phil (OUP, 2012)

This paper presents an analysis performed using a coupled TEMP/W-SEEP/W finite element model to consider both the conducive and convective effects of groundwater flow on the thermal regime created by a ground source ...
Electric field distribution in a finite-volume head model of deep brain stimulation

Grant, Peadar F. ; Lowery, Madeleine M. (Elsevier, 2009-11)

This study presents a whole-head finite element model of deep brain stimulation to examine the effect of electrical grounding, the finite conducting volume of the head, and scalp, skull and cerebrospinal fluid layers. The ...
Processing of terrestrial laser scanning point cloud data for computational modelling of building facades

Laefer, Debra F. ; Truong Hong, Linh ; Fitzgerald, Michael (Bentham Science, 2011-01)

With the rapidly increasing availability of laser scanning data and the growing pressure to use it as the basis for computational models, there has been heighten interest in quickly, cost-effectively, and accurately ...
Seismic based strengthening of steel and RC telecommunication poles based on fem analysis

Kalkan, Erol ; Laefer, Debra F. (Elsevier, 2004-12)

This study describes a numerical projection of pre- and post-retrofitted conditions of telecommunication poles subjected to seismic hazards. The absence of explicit guidelines for the rehabilitation of existing poles ...
Vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction using finite element modelling

González, Arturo (Sciyo, 2010)

First investigations on the dynamic response of bridges due to moving loads were motivated by the collapse of the Chester railway bridge in the UK in the middle of the 19th century. This failure made evident the need to ...
