Study on Dynamics of an Elastic Oscillator Coupled with a Rocking Wall [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper studies the dynamics of an elastic single degree of freedom oscillator (representing an elastic frame) coupled with a rocking wall. Two types of rocking walls namely stepping rocking wall and pinned rocking wall are presented and analyzed. For each case, full nonlinear equations of motions are calculated.

Using Physics Informed Generative Adversarial Networks to Model 3D porous media [PDF]
arXivMicro-CT scanning of rocks significantly enhances our understanding of pore-scale physics in porous media. With advancements in pore-scale simulation methods, such as pore network models, it is now possible to accurately simulate multiphase flow properties, including relative permeability, from CT-scanned rock samples. However, the limited number of CT-
