A computational model for residual life assessment of dents generated by explosive loads in pipelines
(2003)The present work develops a finite elements computational model that describes the process of dynamic deformation in pipelines under explosive loads. The mechanical response of the material is modeled by means of an ... -
Use of deep learning algorithms for real-time detection of vessels in confined spaces using the Tensorflow framework
(Cartagena de Indias, 2003-01)Over 4515 small boat accidents were registered in the United State of America in 2012, resulting in 651 causalities and 22% of the accidents took place between two boats. It is, therefore, one of the most interesting ... -
