Ductile failure of structural metals is relevant to a wide range engineering scenarios. Computational methods are employed anticipate the critical conditions failure, yet they sometimes provide inaccurate and misleading predictions. Challenge scenarios, such as one presented in current work, an opportunity assess blind, quantitative predictive ability simulation against previously unseen problem. Rather than evaluate predictions single approach, Sandia Fracture relies on numerous volunteer...
We present the Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to Multi-messenger Addicts (GRANDMA). The network consists of 21 telescopes with both photometric and spectroscopic facilities. They are connected together thanks a dedicated infrastructure. aims at coordinating observations large sky position estimates transient events enhance their follow-up reduce delay between initial detection optical confirmation. GRANDMA program mainly focuses on gravitational-wave alerts find characterise...
Abstract This paper presents an investigation of strategies for handling dissipative phase interactions in the context multi‐field material point method formulations which each is assigned its own motion. Different families interaction using both nodal and particle‐based approaches are developed, particular, a new smoothed volume fraction approach presented that can handle effects general consistent manner while reducing anomalous boundaries grid crossings. The effectiveness this...
Abstract The new 1 m f/4 fast-slew Zadko Telescope was installed in June 2008 about 70 km north of Perth, Western Australia. It is the only metre-class optical facility at this southern latitude between east coast Australia and South Africa, can rapidly image transients a longitude not monitored by other similar facilities. We report on first imaging tests pilot program minor planet searches, Target Opportunity observations triggered Swift satellite. In 12 months, 6 gamma-ray burst...
Abstract The Zadko telescope is a 1 m f/4 Cassegrain telescope, situated in the state of Western Australia about 80-km north Perth. facility plays niche role Australian astronomy, as it only meter class dedicated to automated follow-up imaging alerts or triggers received from different external instruments/detectors spanning entire electromagnetic spectrum. Furthermore, location at longitude not covered by other facilities provides an important resource for time critical projects. This paper...
GRANDMA is an international project that coordinates telescope observations of transient sources with large localization uncertainties. Such include gravitational wave events, gamma-ray bursts and neutrino events. currently 25 telescopes (70 scientists), the aim optimizing imaging strategy to maximize probability identifying optical counterpart a source. This paper describes motivation for project, organizational structure, methodology initial results.
Spall failure is of interest due to its prevalence in high strain rate problems which the spallation driven by interaction release waves. In this article, a porosity-based damage model that includes microinertial effects used examine spall failure. The successfully calibrated plate impact-driven experiments and then evaluate experimental conditions producing more extreme conditions, such as those laser-driven experiments. incorporation microinertia allows us better understand increase...
