Advanced monitoring and numerical modelling of the stability, safety and reliability indicators of the earthen dam of Songloulou (Cameroon).

For the determination of global stability after long term advanced monitoring, artificial intelligence have been used for the data analysis of water level and displacements of Songloulou earth dam at Cameroon. Measurements of safety and reliability indicators follow changes set by piezometric and pendulums measurements. The results obtained from the artificial intelligence on the base of many years recording data have confirmed the relevance and robustness of this model.

Investigation of the macroscopic behaviour of laminates shells (MBLS) under varying loads using low order CSFE-sh FEM and the N-T's 2-D shell equations.

The target in this survey is to investigate deformations of laminates shells (DLS), due to asymmetric and axisymmetric loads, including several other loadings using N-T shell equations. We point out here, the contribution of the metric change in thickness for the analysis of static and linear behavior of laminated composite shells. To achieve this objective, we've applied N-T's shells equations on the same monolayer laminate composite shell and derive the law of MBLS.

Comparing in Cylinder Pressure Modelling of a DI Diesel Engine Fuelled on Alternative Fuel Using Two Tabulated Chemistry Approaches.

The present work presents the comparative simulation of a diesel engine fuelled on diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel. Two models, based on tabulated chemistry, were implemented for the simulation purpose and results were compared with experimental data obtained from a single cylinder diesel engine. The first model is a single zone model based on the Krieger and Bormann combustion model while the second model is a two-zone model based on Olikara and Bormann combustion model.
