Thermal-induced spalling is a typical failure behavior of concrete materials exposed to high temperatures.This study uses Abaqus to establish a numerical model of concrete material comprising aggregates and mortar matrix.Cohesive elements considering heat conduction are embedded into this numerical model to simulate the thermal-induced explosive sp
Intentional removal of unwanted information allows us to focus on our current goals.Previous research has shown that suppressing the maintenance of neutral images in working memory can impair access to that information in immediate and delayed memory tests.However, it remains unclear whether maintenance suppression has the same impact on emotionall
A deformation measurement system for laboratory soil testing based on stereophotogrammetric image analysis was developed with a purpose of characterising soil behaviour continuously from small to large strains.The system is applicable to triaxial tests with pressure chamber and confining fluid by correcting Body Spray the refraction-induced distort
