Recently, several collapses of assembled floors with large clay units took place in the Czech Republic. The failures are occurring in certain period after finishing of co [...]

Stadium stand can be subjected to the significant dynamic responses as like resonance or excessive vibration due to spectator rhythmical activities. These excessive dynam [...]

The current distribution over the plate surface in lead-acid cells was determined mathematically by using the equivalent circuit method. The dependence of the internal ce [...]

The current distribution over the plate surface in lead-acid cells in the course of discharge was determined mathematically by using the equivalent circuit method. The de [...]

The paper deals with the perfusion in hierarchically arranged double porous media constituted by transversely periodic layers. In each layer the reference periodic cell i [...]

The paper aims to evaluate effective properties of a solid phase of metal foam on the level of a few microns. Basic principles of micromechanics are applied to the experi [...]

In this contribution, we present and mutually compare three approaches to the analysis of finite heterogeneous elastic bodies with a random arrangement of individual phas [...]

The purpose of this contribution is to introduce a comparison of two Finite Element-based methods for computing the mechanical response to (thermo)mechanical loading of c [...]

Abstrakt: The stepping stone in evaluating effective elastic properties of woven composite tubes is an accurate geometrical description of the composite tube on meso-scal [...]

A two-layer statistically equivalent periodic unit cell with air voids is offered to predict a macroscopic response of plain weave multilayer textile composites. Two diff [...]

This contribution deals with problem of solids weakened by cracks or joints. The rock containing crack is the model example of such a problem. Determination of properties [...]

Homogenization methods are becoming the most popular approach to modelling of heterogeneous materials. The main principle is to represent the heterogeneous microstructure [...]

The paper offers a novel approach to the modeling of asphalt mixtures. It introduces a concept of so called statistically equivalent periodic unit cell (SECUP) known from [...]
