The superimposed slab shear wall has been found to be more and applicable in the building construction industry due its industrialization superiority. hysteretic behavior of walls accounts for an important part seismic performance analysis. This paper presents results a numerical study investigate walls. Different calculation methods capacity combined interface horizontal connection are introdu...

A new, closed-form hysteretic model of the capillary pressure-saturation and relative permeability-saturation relationship has been implemented into ITOUGH2. The hysteretic capillary pressure function is based on the van Genuchten model, with a modified version of the dependent domain model of Mualem to describe the scanning curves. Hysteresis in the relative permeability relations is considere...

Memristors are passive two-terminal circuit elements that combine resistance and memory. Although in theory memristors are a very promising approach to fabricate hardware with adaptive properties, there are only very few implementations able to show their basic properties. We recently developed stochastic polymeric matrices with a functionality that evidences the formation of self-assembled thr...
