  • Technical fabrics in costruction of large scale roofs - numerical and experimental aspects

    Publication

    - Year 2007

    Designing and construction of textile hanging roofs is the challenging subject for engineers. This type of structure needs geometrically and very often also physically non-linear calculations. Due to different behaviour of two families of threads (warp and weft), which during deformation can change the angle between their directions, they require special constitutive modelling. Also the loading of hanging roofs is very special....

  • Modelling of FloodWave Propagation with Wet-dry Front by One-dimensional Diffusive Wave Equation

    A full dynamic model in the form of the shallow water equations (SWE) is often useful for reproducing the unsteady flow in open channels, as well as over a floodplain.
