Low density, high strength to corrosion and specific strength to weight ratio are properties that made aluminum alloys excellent materials for transportation industry. A promising way to develop ultra-high strength aluminum alloys is achieved by the addition of metallic elements with low solubility in aluminum, promoting the Al3X (X = Sc) nanoparticles formation. Moreover, Al alloys have applications in the aer...
This paper describes the simulation of the phenomenon of nucleation of the precipitate Al3Sc in an Aluminum Scandium alloy using the kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method and the density-based clustering with noise (DBSCAN) method to filter the simulation data. To conduct this task, kMC and DBSCAN algorithms were implemented in C language. The study covers a range of temperatures, concentrations, and dimensions, goi...
The present paper reports the precipitation process of Al3Sc structures in an aluminum scandium alloy, which has been simulated with a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) method. The kMC implementation is based on the vacancy diffusion mechanism. To filter the raw data generated by the kMC simulation, the density-based clustering with noise (DBSCAN) method was employed. kMC and DBSCAN algorithms were implemented in the C...
This paper describes the integration of multi-dimensional data from satellite sensors in a Civil Protection application that simulates fire spread. The approach uses standard Web Coverage Services from OGC to fetch and process land cover and recently burned areas, available in the form of satellite imagery data previously captured by the MODIS sensor, to automatically generate renovated fuel maps. The proposed ...
he CROSS-Fire project focus on developing a grid-based framework for wild fire management using FireStation (FS) as a standalone application that simulates the fire spread over complex topography. The overall software development is made of several components: client applications, which request geo-referenced data and fire spread simulation, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), which provide geo-referenced data...
Fire propagation simulation tools are useful at different levels of forest fire management. From prescribed fire planning to fuel hazard assessment or to the development of fire suppression strategies on wildfires or even training activities. Nevertheless, real time use of such tools is still very limited among the operational authorities for several reasons: lack of good real time data, lack of training or eve...
This paper describes a Sensor Observation Service (SOS) client developed to integrate dynamic geospatial data from meteorological sensors, on a grid-based risk management decision support system. The present work is part of the CROSS-Fire project, which uses forest fires as the main case study and the FireStation application to simulate fire spread. The meteorological data is accessed through the SOS standard f...
The CROSS-Fire is a Portuguese NGI funded project focus-ing on the development of a grid-based risk management decision support system for the Civil Protection (CP), using forest fires as the main case study. The project defines a general approach for the development of a CP application by defining an architecture that integrates three main layers: the CROSS-Fire Platform and two external infrastructures: a Spa...
