...-dimensional (2D) numerical model of a hot water production unit coupled with a household refrigerator. Their analysis of the effects of geometrical parameters concluded that thermal performance is significantly improved. Lv et al. (2014) also studied the impact of different coil diameters...

... cm². An analytical model and numerical modeling by finite elements are performed. This study is motivated by the evaluation of the effectiveness of this type of partial reinforcement to improve strength and ductility. The results are given by load-displacement curves, tensile damages cartography...

...Lydia Khouf; Mustapha Benaouicha; Abdelghani Seghir; Sylvain Guillou Purpose The paper aims to present a numerical modeling procedure for the analysis of liquid sloshing in a flexible tank subjected to an external excitation, with taking into account the effects of fluid–structure interaction (FSI...

... of the ground response and the soil-structure interaction phenomena. It also provides an opportunity to validate numerical models. Using a soil model with simple failure criteria, the wall displacements are strongly influenced by the soil deformation modulus. The strut stiffness considerably influences the wall...

... of the joints (α). Numerical parametric analysis is conducted using FLAC 3D. Factors of safety are computed from the numerical models. Then, a second-order regression technique is applied on these numerically obtained factors, to correlate new formulae. Findings As a result, user-friendly formulae...
