a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

Open-source software is used by almost all technology companies and has become an integral part of the technical infrastructure digital capitalism. Generally, developers open-source have been viewed as a social movement at odds with capitalist profit motive. This idealized view challenged made significant investments in since early 2000s. Current research frames corporate participation fundamen...

Material selection is a main purpose in design process and plays an important role in desired performance of the products for diverse engineering applications. In order to solve material selection problem, multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methods can be used as an applicable tool. Bumper beam is one of the most important components of bumper system in absorbing energy. Therefore, selecting...

In this paper, we describe the flexible searching and browsing tool for the telecoms learning material: the “Knowledge Navigator”. This tool was developed in the context of the European Commission sponsored project CANDLE (Collaborative and Network-based Distributed Learning Environment).
