abstract = {The aerospace industry demands designs capable of withstanding the simultaneous collapse of several structural elements. Examples of this failure scenario are propeller blade or uncontained engine rotor failures, where the structural integrity of the aircraft may be compromised by flying debris. To assess aircraft survivability, reliable simulation of accidental damage scenarios using physics-based models is required. Due to the complexity of characterizing these events, practitioners and researchers have traditionally assumed conservative damage envelopes, restraining potential design improvements. This research presents an object-oriented framework to automatically generate any number of damaged aircraft meshes in a realistic manner, taking into account the randomness of the event. Due to the flexibility in the software design, both random and deterministic input parameters are allowed, such as debris origin, impact orientation, number of impacts, debris size, debris velocity, spread angles and ballistic penetration equations. The tool is applied to a commercial narrow-body aircraft in which real failure scenarios are simulated.},

abstract = {One of the key aspects that must be taken into consideration within the framework of Sustainable Construction is the management of Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris. As for other types of waste, specific handling procedures are required to manage C&D Debris; these include reduction, reuse, recycling, and if all other possibilities fail, recovery or disposal. For public planning strategies aimed at the management of C&D Debris to be effective, it is first necessary to have specific knowledge of the type of waste materials generated in a particular region. After verifying that the methods available to determine the production and composition of C&D Debris are limited, this paper presents a procedure to ascertain the production and composition of C&D Debris, in any region. The procedure utilizes data on the surface areas of newly constructed buildings, renovations and demolitions, which are estimated from available data for recent years, as well as information on the quantity of debris generated per surface area in any type of construction site, which is obtained from recently executed constructions or from the ground plans of older buildings. The method proposed here has been applied to Galicia, one of Spain's autonomous communities, for which the quantity and composition of C&D Debris have been estimated for the horizon year 2011. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
