The presence of sloping ground surfaces is common. In slightly inclined natural slopes, susceptible to deep landslides, the unsaturated condition of shallow soil horizons affects deep pore water pressures and, therefore, global stability. The stability of steep mountains covered by shallow deposits is often guaranteed by a shear strength contribution related to the unsaturated condition. In this case, the degree of saturation plays a key role in determining which rainfall events can act as landslide triggers, consequently controlling the post-failure evolution. Partial saturation is the basic characteristic of soils used as construction materials of geo-structures such as levees, dikes, and dams. It governs the structure behavior during construction phases, in serviceability, and in extreme scenarios. Hoping to provide a bridge between theoretical research and practical applications, this Special Issue collects quality contributions related to natural and artificial slopes under unsaturated conditions, focusing on aspects such as: water retention and transport properties, mechanical behavior, advances in experimental methods, laboratory and in situ characterization, field monitoring, geotechnical and geophysical field tests, landslide investigation and prevention, the design and maintenance of engineered slopes, and the constitutive and numerical modeling of hydro-mechanical behavior. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $acalibration 610 $acapillary barriers 610 $acommercial experimental techniques 610 $adebris flow 610 $ain situ characterization 610 $ainfiltration 610 $ainstallation 610 $aLAMP 610 $alandslide 610 $alateral resistance 610 $alimit equilibrium solution 610 $amonitoring 610 $an/a 610 $apyroclastic soils 610 $arainfall 610 $ariverbank 610 $aRuedlingen field experiment 610 $asilty sands 610 $aslope stability 610 $asoil moisture 610 $asoil slide 610 $asoil water content 610 $astability analysis 610 $asuction 610 $atransient seepage 610 $atriaxial tests 610 $aunsaturated conditions 610 $aunsaturated permeability curve 610 $aunsaturated slope 610 $aunsaturated soils 610 $awater retention 610 $awater retention curve 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aVassallo$b Roberto$4edt$01324796 702 $aComegna$b Luca$4edt 702 $aValentino$b Roberto$4edt 702 $aVassallo$b Roberto$4oth 702 $aComegna$b Luca$4oth 702 $aValentino$b Roberto$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557747003321 996 $aNatural and Artificial Unsaturated Soil Slopes$93036311 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05204nam 2201333z- 450 001 9910557118503321 005 20210501 035 $a(CKB)5400000000040861 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68284 035 $a(oapen)doab68284 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000040861 100 $a20202105d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aThermal and Electro-thermal System Simulation 2020 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (310 p.) 311 08$a3-03943-831-X 311 08$a3-03943-832-8 330 $aThis book, edited by Prof. Marta Rencz and Prof Andras Poppe, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and by Prof. Lorenzo Codecasa, Politecnico di Milano, collects fourteen papers carefully selected for the "thermal and electro-thermal system simulation" Special Issue of Energies. These contributions present the latest results in a currently very "hot" topic in electronics: the thermal and electro-thermal simulation of electronic components and systems. Several papers here proposed have turned out to be extended versions of papers presented at THERMINIC 2019, which was one of the 2019 stages of choice for presenting outstanding contributions on thermal and electro-thermal simulation of electronic systems. The papers proposed to the thermal community in this book deal with modeling and simulation of state-of-the-art applications which are highly critical from the thermal point of view, and around which there is great research activity in both industry and academia. In particular, contributions are proposed on the multi-physics simulation of families of electronic packages, multi-physics advanced modeling in power electronics, multiphysics modeling and simulation of LEDs, batteries and other micro and nano-structures. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $a3D IC 610 $aaccuracy repeatability and reproducibility of thermal measurements 610 $aAlGaN-GaN HEMT 610 $aBCI-DCTM 610 $abeyond CMOS 610 $aBGA 610 $aCFD 610 $aCoB LEDs 610 $acompact thermal model 610 $acomputation time 610 $aDelphi4LED 610 $adetailed thermal model 610 $adigital luminaire design 610 $adigital twin 610 $aDVFS 610 $aelectro-thermal model 610 $aelectro-thermal simulation 610 $aelectronic packages 610 $aelectronics cooling 610 $aexperimental validation 610 $afinite volume method 610 $aheat generation 610 $aheat transfer mechanisms 610 $ahotspot 610 $aIndustry 4.0 610 $aJoint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) metrics 610 $aLED 610 $aLED lifetime modelling 610 $aLED multi-domain modelling 610 $alife testing 610 $alifetime extrapolation and modelling of LEDs 610 $aLight-emitting diodes 610 $aliquid cooling 610 $alithium-ion battery 610 $aLM-80 610 $amagnetic nanoparticle 610 $ameasurements 610 $amicrochannels 610 $amicrofluidics 610 $amodal approach 610 $amodelling 610 $amodule temperature 610 $amulti-domain modeling 610 $anon-destructive testing 610 $anonlinear thermal model 610 $aOpenFOAM 610 $aoptical efficiency 610 $aphonon transport mechanisms 610 $aphosphor modeling 610 $apower LED measurement and simulation 610 $apower LEDs 610 $apulse transformer 610 $areliability testing 610 $arheology 610 $aROM 610 $aself-heating 610 $asize effect 610 $asolar energy 610 $aSPICE 610 $aSpice-like modelling of LEDs 610 $astatistical analysis 610 $aTDTR 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $athermal impedance 610 $athermal interface resistance 610 $athermal modelling 610 $athermal pads 610 $athermal phenomena 610 $athermal resistance 610 $athermal simulation 610 $athermal testability 610 $athermal testing standards 610 $athermal transient testing 610 $athermal-aware task scheduling 610 $athermal-electronic circuits 610 $aTM-21 610 $atwo-phase solver 610 $avertical structure 610 $aVO2 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aRencz$b Márta$4edt$01275267 702 $aCodecasa$b Lorenzo$4edt 702 $aPoppe$b Andras$4edt 702 $aRencz$b Márta$4oth 702 $aCodecasa$b Lorenzo$4oth 702 $aPoppe$b Andras$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557118503321 996 $aThermal and Electro-thermal System Simulation 2020$93038145 997 $aUNINA
