A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…

Authors of those introduc- tions face many challenges, such as the need to produce something that is both theoreti- cally sound and practically valuable, or to find a way to integrate discussions on a vari- ety of topics into one comprehensible teaching t…
SafetyMAP (Safety Management Achievement Program) is an audit tool that provides the means to undertake an independent audit and review of an organization’s health and safety management system. This helps to establish safer working environments that will protect people at work by eliminating, or better managing, health and safety hazards. This is consistent with the requirements of health and…

LaTeX is a high-quality open source typesetting software that produces professional prints and PDF files. However, as LaTeX is a powerful and complex tool, getting started can be intimidating. There is no official support and certain aspects such as layout modifications can seem rather complicated. It may seem more straightforward to use Word or other WYSIWG programs, but once you've become acq…
