The results of a 3-dimensional SNSPH simulation of the core collapse of a 23M⊙ star are presented. This simulation did not launch an explosion until over 600ms after collapse, allowing an ideal opportunity to study the evolution and structure of the convection below the accretion shock to late times. This late-time convection allows us to study several of the recent claims in the literature abo...

I construct a spherically symmetric solution for a massless real scalar field minimally coupled to general relativity which is discretely self-similar (DSS) and regular. This solution coincides with the intermediate attractor found by Choptuik in critical gravitational collapse. The echoing period is ∆ = 3.4453 ± 0.0005. The solution is continued to the future self-similarity horizon, which is ...

progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. the current progressive collapse analyses and design methods in guidelines and codes focus on the alternate load path method. this method is suitable especially in the case of blast-induced progressive ...

The gravitational wave (GW) signal resulting from stellar core collapse encodes a wealth of information about the physical parameters progenitor star and core-collapse supernova (CCSN). We present novel approach to constrain CCSN properties at using two most detectable parts GW signal: core-bounce evolution dominant frequency mode protoneutron star. focus on period after bounce but before explo...

Critical collapse in general relativity refers to phenomena that occur at the threshold, in the space of initial data, between data that lead to black hole formation (collapse) and those that do not. Regular initial data can be classified as supercritical or subcritical according to whether or not they form a black hole. We refer to the boundary between supercritical and subcritical data as the...

in the present paper, resonant frequencies and modes of a three-atom photonic molecule and a photonic crystal placed within a cavity are numerically calculated. first, governing formulation in transverse electric field mode (te) is obtained using maxwell equations. then, an algorithm based on a finite difference scheme and matrix algebra is presented. the algorithm is then implemented in a comp...

Progressive collapse is a kind of failure in which whole or large part of a structure collapse when a local damage occurs and distributes to other parts. Many researchers focus on the column removal analysis and study of the structure behavior under effect of gravity loads, so these investigations are mostly carried out on the tall building. Earthquake inspections indicate structural element ca...

Background: Several multiphase flow analyses have been developed to predict the fate of particles used in inhalation drug delivery; however, the collapse of droplets during their passage through respiratory tract has not been investigated. Objective: To assess the probability of droplet collapse in the upper respiratory tract.Methods: A 3D model of mouth-to-second generation airway after the tr...

Investigation of the effect of using nanomaterials for improving and Stabilizing the gypseous soil was carried out using laboratory works. The gypseous soils were collected from a site of intake in Bahar Al-Najaf and mixed with two types of nanomaterials (Nano-silica and, Nano-clay) where the nanomaterials were added in small amounts as a percent of the dry weight of the soil sample. Tests to d...

in recent years, the trend in solving optimization problems has been directed toward using heuristic algorithms such as neural networks, genetic and ant colony algorithms. the main reason for this trend can be attributed to the fact that these algorithms can be efficiently adjusted to the specific search space to which they are applied and consequently they can be used for many optimization pro...
