This paper briefly reports the GeoMFree3D, a meshfree / meshless software package designed for analyzing problems of large deformations and crack propagations rock soil masses in geotechnics. The GeoMFree3D is developed based on RPIM, accelerated by exploiting parallel computing multi-core CPU many-core GPU. currently being under intensive developments. To demonstrate correctness effectiveness ...

On behalf of the editorial board and MDPI Publishing, may we extend a very warm welcome to this first Geotechnics—a new international, open access, scholarly journal aimed at showcasing nurturing high-quality research developmental activities in soil rock engineering geo-environmental engineering, worldwide [...]

Airborne magnetic systems for mapping unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other shallow metals have been developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) over the past five years .We have recently completed testing of a time-domain electromagnetic (EM) system to supplement the magnetic system for UXO investigations. The test was conducted at the Badlands Bombing Range (BBR) in South Dakota in Septem...

A substantial part of the energy of wake waves from high-speed ships sailing in shallow water is concentrated in nonlinear components which at times have a solitonic nature. Recent results of investigations into solitonic wave interactions within the framework of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and their implications for rogue wave theory are reviewed. A surface elevation four times as high...

Periodontitis is the commonest bacterial disease of humans and is the major cause of adult tooth loss. About half of the oral microflora is unculturable; and 16S rRNA PCR, cloning, and sequencing techniques have demonstrated the high level of species richness of the oral microflora. In the present study, a PCR primer set specific for the genera Porphyromonas and Tannerella was designed and used...

The aim of this study is to bridge a gap in the existence of Trilobites in the marine Permian successions of Iran by exploring a stratigraphic section of the Permian in Jamal Formation (Dizlu section).  Based on comprehensive field studies and laboratory investigations three Trilobite specimens were identified in the study area including Pseudophillipsia (Carniphillipsia) dizluensis sp. nov., P...

Landslides, earthquakes, and other natural events can change the landscape generate human economic losses, affecting transportation public service infrastructure. In every geotechnical project, investigation phase plays a fundamental role in reducing risk of occurrence mitigating catastrophes. As result, governments have created entities to study disasters identify triggering factors that huge ...
