The potential and accuracy aspects of a completely automated stereo photogrammetric vision system for performing precise 3-D body mapping of whole human bodies have been investigated. A prototype vision system by integrating ...

Behavior of the first floor of the U.S.-Japan seven story reinforced concrete test structure was modeled by a finite element model. The constitutive matrix describing material behavior is a normal concrete model which ...

Despite the long history of water research, understanding drinking water microbiome continuum spanning from source water, treatment in the production process, distribution network, and up to the point where water enters a ...

Effective water resources management typically relies on numerical models to analyze groundwater flow and solute transport processes. Since the important hydrogeological parameters of these models (e.g., hydraulic conductivity) ...

Water shortages and flooding have caused large property losses and endangered human lives in many areas. Rapid and informed response is needed to ensure effective water management, including reliable and immediate data ...

This dissertation presents a new paradigm for addressing multi-physics problems with interfaces in the field of Additive Manufacturing and the modeling of fibrous composite materials. The unique process of adding the ...
