Underwater Power Tools for In Situ Preservation, Cleaning and Consolidation of Submerged Archaeological Remains

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
In situ protection and conservation of the Underwater Cultural Heritage are now considered a primary choice by the scientific community to be preferred, when possible, over the practice of recovery.

A multiscale flux basis for mortar mixed discretizations of reduced Darcy-Forchheimer fracture models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, a multiscale flux basis algorithm is developed to efficiently solve a flow problem in fractured porous media. Here, we take into account a mixed-dimensional setting of the discrete fracture matrix model, where the fracture network is ...

A mortar method for energy‐momentum conserving schemes in frictionless dynamic contact problems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2008
AbstractIn the present work the mortar method is applied to planar large deformation contact problems without friction. In particular, the proposed form of the mortar contact constraints is invariant under translations and rotations. These invariance properties lay the foundation for the design of energy‐momentum time‐stepping schemes for contact ...

Research on the Detoxification of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash: Organic Acid Washing Pretreatment Coupled With Cement/DDTC Stabilization

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metals in municipal waste incineration fly ash are potentially harmful to the ecological environment and human health. To mitigate the hazards of fly ash, this study attempts to detoxify fly ash through organic acid washing pretreatment coupled with cement/sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) solidification.

Repointing mortars for conservation of a historic stone building in Trinity College, Dublin [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials and Structures, 1993
With atmospheric pollution causing building stone to decay at accelerated rates, conservation of historic stone monuments is becoming an increasingly important issue. Mortar joints have a marked effect on how moisture moves in a wall and, hence, on how the wall weathers. Not only does mortar bind stones together, but also a good mortar will prevent the

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Mortar historical research methods – problems of restoration

open access: yesBudownictwo i Architektura, 2015
Depending on various factors like time, increasing air pollution due to technological improvements of the present era together with insufficiency of inspection leads to the formation of damages on these buildings which are part of our historical heritage.

Transient three‐dimensional domain decomposition problems: Frame‐indifferent mortar constraints and conserving integration [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2009
AbstractThe present work deals with transient large‐deformation domain decomposition problems. The tying of dissimilar meshed grids is performed by applying the mortar method. In this connection, a reformulation of the original linear mortar constraints is proposed, which retains frame‐indifference for arbitrary discretizations of the interface ...

Ontogenetic changes and sexual dimorphism in the cranium and mandible of the Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus L.)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

Experimental and Finite Element Investigation of Bond Strength of Earthen Mortar–Brick Interfaces in Historic Masonry Structures

open access: yesBuildings
This study aims to investigate the bond behavior at earthen mortar–brick interfaces in historic masonry structures. To that end, a series of combined compression–shear tests were conducted to systematically assess the influence of varying water–soil ...
