The problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. Using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...

Several research works exploring the potential of utilizing grayscale image for the measurement of many physical phenomena has been published. In this present paper we have designed a new linear displacement sensor utilizing the grayscale image. This sensor is based on temporal changes in the intensity of light by the movement of grayscale image with the linear displacement of target. The varia...

Competitive displacement is the most severe outcome of interspecific competition. For the purposes of this review, we define this type of displacement as the removal of a formerly established species from a habitat as a result of direct or indirect competitive interactions with another species. We reviewed the literature for recent putative cases of competitive displacement among insects and ar...

Losing Heart? The Effect of Job Displacement on Health Job reallocation is considered to be a key characteristic of well-functioning labor markets, as more productive firms grow and less productive ones contract or close. However, despite its potential benefits for the economy, there are significant costs that are borne by displaced workers. We study how job displacement in Norway affects cardi...

In this article, the problem of time-dependent stress redistribution of a piezomagnetic rotating thick-walled cylinder under an axisymmetric hygro-thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading is analyzed analytically for the condition of plane strain. Using the constitutive equations, a differential equation is found in which there are creep strains. Primarily, eliminating creep strains, an analyt...

A generalized thermo-elastic diffusion problem in a functionally graded isotropic, unbounded, rotating elastic medium due to a periodically varying heat source in the context of fractional order theory is considered in our present work. The governing equations of the theory for a functionally graded material with GNIII model are established. Analytical solution of the problem is derived in Lapl...

Displacement measurements are useful information for various engineering applications such as structural health monitoring (SHM), earthquake engineering and system identification. Most existing displacement measurement methods are costly, labor-intensive, and have difficulties particularly when applying to full-scale civil structures because the methods require stationary reference points. Indi...

Based on WSO observations of the photospheric magnetic field and the potential field-source surface (PFSS) model, we compare the solid angles occupied by the positive source surface field with that of the negative. We develop an algorithm to quantitatively estimate and understand the positive-negative displacement of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) about Sun’s magnetic dipole equator and t...

Background Quantitative MR myocardial strain analysis is typically performed using rectilinear or Cartesian grid tagging, and regional contractility is visually assessed by the deformation of the grid1. However, it is difficult to visually isolate circumferential and radial components of displacement and strain from parallel straight lines on short axis images. This study evaluates the potentia...
