Stability analysis of block-flexural toppling of rock blocks with round edges
One of the most conventional toppling instabilities is the block-flexural toppling failure that occurs in civil and mining engineering projects. In this kind of failure, some rock columns are broken due to tensile bending stresses, and the others are overturned due to their weights, and finally, all of the blocks topple together. A specific feature of spheroidal weathering is the rounding of th...
متن کاملClustering with mixtures of log-concave distributions
The EM algorithm is a popular tool for clustering observations via a parametric mixture model. Two disadvantages of this approach are that its success depends on the appropriateness of the assumed parametric model, and that each model requires a different implementation of the EM algorithm based on model-specific theoretical derivations. We show how this algorithm can be extended to work with t...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Rock Slopes with a Potential of Block-Flexural Toppling Failure
One of the most important instabilities of rock slopes is toppling failure. Among the types of toppling failure, block-flexural failures are more common instability which occurs in nature. In this failure, some rock blocks break because of tensile stresses, and some overturn under their weights, and next to all of them topple together. Physical and theoretical modeling of this failure is studie...
متن کاملLearning Mixtures of Distributions
Learning Mixtures of Distributions by Kamalika Chaudhuri Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Satish Rao, Chair This thesis studies the problem of learning mixtures of distributions, a natural formalization of clustering. A mixture of distributions is a collection of distributions D = {D1, . . .DT}, and mixing weights, {w1, . . . , wT} such that ...
متن کاملTriaxial behavior of sand-mica mixtures using genetic programming
This study investigates an application of genetic programming (GP) for modeling of coarse rotund sand– mica mixtures. An empirical model equation is developed by means of GP technique. The experimental database used for GP modeling is based on a laboratory study of the properties of saturated coarse rotund sand and mica mixtures with various mix ratios under a 100 kPa effective stresses, becaus...
