Abstract One of the problems involving water bodies is pollution sources, which later becomes parent various social, economic, and health problems. these conditions can be overcome by utilizing phytoremediation through constructed wetlands. HYDRUS a software that offers easy modelling pollutant decay mechanisms in wetlands using finite element method. This study aims to show analyse how model m...

This paper experimentally investigates the nature of impulses in impulse learning. Particularly, we analyze whether positive feedback (i.e., yielding a superior payo in a game) or negative feedback (i.e., yielding an inferior payo in a game) leads to a systematic change in the individual choices. The results reveal that subjects predominantly learn from negative feedback.

The application of liquid–liquid chromatography principles to solvent extraction processes in hydrometallurgy can greatly simplify rare earth metal separation technologies by separating multicomponent mixtures one technological operation. In this study, the chromatographic elements (REEs) multistage columns was experimentally studied under conditions impulse sample injection—single and multiple...

Protection of critical infrastructure in an urban environment is a challenging task, specifically against the vehicle bourne improvised explosive device threat. To design to withstand this evolving threat, novel solutions and advanced materials need be developed. One such material interest are auxetics. This study experimentally analysed mitigation blast response auxetic re-entrant honeycomb st...

This paper presents experimental and numerical results for fully-clamped square steel plates to elucidate how the deformation failure are affected by presence of pre-formed holes, holes’ geometry, under confined blast loading. The geometry holes will be shown play a crucial role in plate. Numerical simulations successfully predict inelastic crack propagation observed experiments; and, it that v...

Stainless steel square honeycomb core sandwich and solid monolithic beams have been subjected to high-pressure, short-duration impulses using a shock simulation technique involving high-speed impact of Al foam projectiles. The experiments have been designed to achieve two objectives: (i) to demonstrate the benefits of sandwich construction, and (ii) to assess the fidelity of dynamic finite elem...
