In this paper a constitutive model formulated in the framework of multi-laminate models is applied to analyze pipe-jacking processes. The multi-laminate -based models consider various integration planes to formulate the stress-strain relationship. This basic feature of the framework has the advantage that yield criteria, flow and hardening rules are formulated on planes rather than in three-dim...

reservoir dams are among the main storage systems employed in agriculture for the several past decades. proper operation of these reservoirs is important for irrigation espe-cially in such arid and semi-arid areas like iran, and particularly during dry years. a computational framework for reservoir simulation and flood routing is hereby presented. a key aspect of the reservoir simulation is the...

This paper discusses aspects of validating simulation models designed to describe, explain and predict realworld phenomena. It starts with a short review of arguments used in the simsoc mailing list discussion on theory, simulation and explanation a few months ago, deals with the use of quantitative and qualitative computational models to make quantitative and qualitative predictions or rather ...

Modelling and simulation are widely used methods in design and other engineering tasks. Providing libraries of reusable model fragments is a promising way of supporting engineering modelling. The paper discusses means of structuring such libraries in a generic and reusable way. Model content facts can be organized on the basis of the ontologies that are generally important in physical systems e...

Process mining is a tool to extract non-trivial and useful information from process execution logs. These so-called event logs (also called audit trails, or transaction logs) are the starting point for various discovery and analysis techniques that help to gain insight into certain characteristics of the process. In this paper we use a combination of process mining techniques to discover multip...
