Initial and replacement riding surface for the orthotropic San Mateo/Hayward Bridge

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Proposal for a Failure Surface for Orthotropic Composite Materials

Orthotropic Thin Shell Elasticity Estimation for Surface Registration

Elastic physical models have been widely used to regularize deformations in different medical object registration tasks. Traditional approaches usually assume uniform isotropic tissue elasticity (a constant regularization weight) across the whole domain, which contradicts human tissue elasticity being not only inhomogeneous but also anisotropic. We focus on producing more physically realistic d...

the study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media

امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
