Multiscale modeling of the effect of the interfacial transition zone on the modulus of elasticity of fiber-reinforced fine concrete
A multiscale model of fiber-reinforced fine concrete is developed, with special emphasis on the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). It does not only allow the prediction of the modulus of elasticity but also pe...

Scattering of SH waves by an arbitrarily orientated closed crack
The 2D problem of a time-harmonic plane shear horizontal (SH) wave scattered by a finite closed crack in an isotropic material is presented in the paper. The crack is arbitrarily orientated with regard to the ...

Improvement of drivability and fuel economy with a hybrid antiskid braking system in hybrid electric vehicles
When braking on wet roads, Antilock Braking System (ABS) control can be triggered because the available brake torque is not sufficient. When the ABS system is active, for a hybrid electric vehicle, the regener...

An improvement on the digital redesign method based on the block-pulse function approximation
This paper proposes an effective method to improve the digital redesign method via the block-pulse function approach. The coefficients of the block-pulse function expansion are exactly evaluated such that the ...
