Mode-I fracture toughness of hygrothermally aged curved filament-wound carbon and glass fibre composites
(2024) [Journal article]This work aims to assess the effect of hygrothermal ageing on the Mode-I fracture toughness behaviour of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composites manufactured by filament winding. Cylinders (136 mm in diameter) are manufactured ... -
Polymers and sustainability : overview of the use of convencional and biodegradable polymers
(2024) [Journal article]This article aims to provide an overview of important moments in the consolidation of the use of conventional and biodegradable polymers throughout history. It begins by discussing the definition of conventional and ... -
Simulação numérica não linear de pilares de concreto armado através do software ANSYS
(2023) [Journal article]O presente artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um modelo de elementos finitos para representar o comportamento de pilares de concreto armado através do softwareANSYS (Analysis Systems Incorporated). Neste modelo, ... -
Impact of stacking sequence on burst pressure in glass/epoxy Type IV composite overwrapped pressure vessels for CNG storage
(2024) [Journal article]The shift from metallic to composite pressure vessels for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) is driven by the goal of reducing environmental impact by using lighter higher-performing structures. This work focuses on ... -
Multi‐Satellite Data Assimilation for Large‐Scale Hydrological‐Hydrodynamic Prediction: Proof of Concept in the Amazon Basin.
(2024) [Journal article]Satellite remote sensing enhances model predictions by providing insights into terrestrial and hydrological processes. While data assimilation techniques have proven promising, there is a lack of standardized and effective ... -
Inception of constructional submarine conduit by asymmetry generated by turbidity current
(2024) [Journal article]Submarine conduits are features responsible for transporting clastic debris from continents to the deep ocean. While the architecture of conduits has been extensively studied, the process of their inception remains unclear. ... -
Assessing the accuracy of OpenET satellite-based evapotranspiration data to support water resource and land management applications
(2024) [Journal article]Remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) data offer strong potential to support data-driven approaches for sustainable water management. However, practitioners require robust and rigorous accuracy assessments of such data. ... -
Influence of land use and land cover on the quality of surface waters and natural wetlands in the Miranda river watershed, brazilian Pantanal
(2024) [Journal article]Water quality assessment stands as a fundamental step in water resource management. In addition to substances and organisms present in the water, land use and land cover are two factors also affecting water quality. This ... -
Estrutura e compactação na permeabilidade de solos do Rio Grande do Sul
(1981) [Journal article]Os trabalhos de preparo do solo destroem a estrutura natural da camada arável e, se realizados sob condições de excesso de umidade, provocam compactação, que reduz as taxas de infiltração e aumentam o volume de escoamento ... -
Determination and characterization of the junction angles in river channels in Brazil with Google Earth Pro images
(2024) [Journal article]The determination of the junction angles and the river dynamics that form them have been studied since the 1930s. These studies normally have three approaches: reduced models, field investigation, and numerical simulation. ...
