The Stability and Properties of Mn+@ C26-2nBnNn(M= alkaline and earth alkaline metals; n=0, 3) Complexes for Synthesis Application
The structural and electronic properties of C24-2nBn Nn and M@ C24-2nBn Nn (M= alkaline and earth alkaline metals; n=3 and 6) molecules are studied using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). It was found that the most interaction is in M@ C24-2nBn Nn complexes (M=Be, Mg; n=3 and 6). The negative nucleus-independent chemical shifts confirm that C24-2nBn Nn (n=3 and 6) cages exhibit aromatic char...
متن کاملAN FT-IR SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF IONIC SOLVATION OF ALKALINE EARTH CATIONS WITH DIMETWYLSULFOXIDE IN ANHYDROUS ACETONITRILE
The interaction between DMSO and alkaline earth perchlorates in anhydrous acetonitrile was investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy. A quantitative study was performed to determine the average number of bonded DMSO molecules using v (SO) and v (C-S) vibrations. Changes in coordination numbers were observed both with increasing atomic numbers and the solvent composition. None of the investigated...
متن کاملBreak fill-dam simulation using GeoStudio (case study: Safarood earth dam, Kerman)
One of the main reason of earth-dam breaks is inner erosion which is caused by washing fine soil particles and finally lead to seepage inside the dam. Seepage will decrease effective tension in the earth-dam's core and arching phenomena is occurred. More settlement of core than to shell is the consequence of arching and occurrence of cracking. In this paper, GeoStudio software based on finite e...
متن کاملA Rapid Optimization Method for Slip Surface in Earth Slopes Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper introduces an accurate, fast, and applicable method for optimization of slip surfaces in earth slopes. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is one of the modern and non-classic optimization methods, in conjunction with the well -known Bishop applied method, the optimum slip surface in an earth slope is investigated and its corresponding lowest safety factor is determined. Investigati...
متن کاملDevelopment of a mechanical earth model in an Iranian off-shore gas field
Wellbore instability is a quite common event during drilling, and causes many problems such as stuck pipe and lost circulation. It is primarily due to the inadequate understanding of the rock properties, pore pressure, and earth stress environment prior to well construction. This study aims to use the existing relevant logs, drilling, and other data from offset wells to construct a precise mech...
