a novel mathematical model has been developed to aid the formulation of emulsion explosives. this mathematical model calculated heat of explosion, oxygen balance and raw material cost as a function of explosive ingredients, and the solution of the mathematical model was obtained by a ms excel program. the effects of the different content of nh4no3, nano3, h2o, and span-80 and composite fuel oil...

analysis of the stresses, displacements, and horizontal strains of the ground subsidence due to underground excavation in rocks can be accomplished by means of a hybridized higher order indirect boundary element/finite difference (be/fd) formulation. a semi-infinite displacement discontinuity field is discretized (numerically) using the cubic displacement discontinuity elements (i.e. each highe...

Background: Environmental problems of the plastic materials used in food packaging and the demand for food quality improvements lead to the development of packaging in natural materials. Edible films such as calcium alginate extend the shelf life by acting as a selective barrier against moisture and oxygen. The main objective of this study was to explore a calcium alginate based edible film to ...

based on the notion of micro-structure in linear elasticity presented by mindlin, a newextended continuum mechanics (ecm) formulation is derived which can be utilized to model thematerial behavior at atomic scale. an attempt has been made to present a formulation capable ofproducing the molecular dynamics (md) simulation results with less computational effort. to thisend, some new kinematical v...
