The structural control of concrete gravity dams is of primary importance. In this context,
numerical models play a fundamental role both to assess the vulnerability of gravity dams …

The development and reattachment of the free shear layer in supersonic flows have been a
widely encountered phenomenon in engineering, and are gaining increasing interest from …

In civil and mechanical engineering, Bayesian inverse methods may serve to calibrate the
uncertain input parameters of a structural model given the measurements of the outputs …

Phase-field modeling of fracture has gained popularity within the last decade due to the
flexibility of the related computational framework in simulating three-dimensional arbitrarily …

In this paper we deal with a probability-based scale bridging for concrete material when
passing the detailed information at the meso-scale (the scale where the aggregate vs …

Failure or malfunction of complex engineered networks involves relevant social and
economic aspects, so that their maintenance is of primary importance. In assessing the …

In this work we present an upscaling technique for multi-scale computations based on a
stochastic model calibration technique. We consider a coarse scale continuum material …

Spatial symmetries and invariances play an important role in the behaviour of materials and
should be respected in the description and modelling of material properties. The focus here …

Within the realm of isogeometric analysis, isogeometric collocation has been driven by the
attempt to minimize the cost of quadrature associated with higher-order discretizations, with …

In this paper, we present the parameter identification for inelastic and multi-scale problems.
First, the theoretical background of several fundamental methods used in the upscaling …
