THE INFLUENCE OF A SHRINKAGE REDUCING ADMIXTURE ON THE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES IN ALKALI-ACTIVATED SLAG by Martin Alexa, Dalibor Kocáb, Barbara Kucharczyková, Jan Kotrla

“…The specimens (prisms of 40 × 40 × 160mm) were observed for changes in the dynamic modulus of elasticity at ages of 3 days through 2 years using the ultrasonic pulse velocity test and the resonance method. Even though the statistical analysis of the results gave no proof that the shrinkage-reducing admixture affected the final values, the development of the elastic modulus appeared to follow a very interesting trend which is completely different from trends commonly observed in cement-based composites.…”

On the Extended Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for Obtaining Numerous Exact Solutions to Fractional Partial Differential Equations: A Generalized Algorithm and Several Applications by Elena V. Nikolova

“…The expansions made to the original SEsM algorithm are implemented in several directions: (1) In constructing analytical solutions: exact solutions to FNPDE systems are presented by simple or complex composite functions, including combinations of solutions to two or more different simple equations with distinct independent variables (corresponding to different wave velocities); (2) in selecting appropriate fractional derivatives and appropriate wave transformations: the choice of the type of fractional derivatives for each system of FNPDEs depends on the physical nature of the modeled real process. …”
