Two approaches for beam-to-beam contact modeling are considered in the paper. The first is the classic continuum approach with point-to-point contact discretization. The other is the coarsegrained approach where the physical intermolecular fields are applied for the modeling of interaction of continuous bodies. To describe the contact, the repulsiv...

The paper analyzes four variants of conformal azimuthal projections for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. In the procedure, a double conformal mapping was applied. As it is common practice to perform mapping in azimuthal projections from a sphere to a plane, it was initially necessary to perform a conformal mapping from the ellipsoid to the ...

This paper presents the application of geodetic and hydrological measurements to define the water balance in the example of a lake in an alluvial medium. The purpose of the above is to provide insight into parts of the lake's water balance since evaporation from the water surface (evaporation) and precipitation, along with infiltration and surface ...
