Thermally induced stresses in composite steel-concrete bridges are higher than those experienced by their concrete and steel cousins due to dissimilarity in material properties. These thermal stresses are relatively high ...

Rotary friction welding (RFW) is a highly efficient and sustainable process for joining both metals and plastics. The welding process parameters of RFW must be carefully selected to ensure a good quality weld with minimum ...

We present in this thesis a new well-balanced unstaggered central scheme for computing the transport of pollutants in water flows. The shallow water equations are used to model the water flow, and a transport equation is ...
