We present a numerical technique capable of handling evolving fractures in rocks triggered by coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) phenomena. The approach is formulated in the context of the finite-element method (FEM) ...

For the prediction of temperature change in different foodstuffs during the freezing and thawing processes accurate estimation of the thermo-physical properties of the product is necessary such as specific heat, density, ...

Thermal analysis has become a fundamental thermo analytical technique family for materials characterization and development. The applicability of different analytical techniques for thermal behavior characterization of ...

This work presents a numerical technique capable of handling evolving fractures in rocks that allows extending, in a simple manner, standard finite element programs developed for geological (continuum) media to deal with ...

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool consolidated in analyzes of the most diverse areas of research and application. The introduction of ambient ionization sources further disseminated the use of the technique, ...

The incorporation of conducting polymer into a conventional polymer matrix has received considerable attention in the last decade because of the possibility of combining the good processability and mechanical performance ...
