[1] Fold topography preserves a potentially accessible record of the structure and evolution of an underlying thrust fault system, provided we understand the factors that shape that topography. Here we examine the morphology and fault geometry of two active folds at the northwest Himalayan front. The Chandigarh and Mohand anticlines show the following patterns: (1) most (∼60%–70%) growth in cat...

In this study we explore the use of a novel numerical modelling approach to effect pillar reinforcement on stability. Case studies in literature indicate that tendons, strapping pillars, and shotcrete or thin spray-on liners are commonly used reinforce pillars. No clear methodology exists select type support design capacity required, however. This has led ongoing collapses some mines spite heav...

This paper discusses numerical modeling and experimental results on stress transfer in wood composites. The numerical model treats adhesive bonds using the concept of an imperfect interface. The displacement discontinuity at an imperfect interface is proportional to the tractions at the interface. A stiff interface will result in little discontinuity and maximum translation of wood component me...

geometrically nonlinear governing equations for a plate with linear viscoelastic material are derived. the material model is of boltzmann superposi¬tion principle type. a third-order displacement field is used to model the shear deformation effects. for the solution of the nonlinear governing equations the dynamic relaxation (dr) iterative method together with the finite difference discretizati...

A generalized modal scattering matrix formulation is presented for the calculation of discontinuity-distorted waveguide multiport junctions. Unlike common approaches based on three-plane mode-matching techniques, and modifications thereof, which calculate only the fundamental-mode scattering matrix, this algorithm computes the generalized modal scattering matrix of the junction. Therefore, the ...

— Moving pixel displacement detection algorithm using correlation functions for making panorama image on the continuous images is presented in this paper. The input images get from a CMOS image sensor (CIS). The camera is maintained by constant brightness and uniform sensing area in test input pattern. For simple navigation and capture image has to 70% overlapped region. A correlation rate in t...

CRACKS in ductile single crystals are analyzed here for geometries and orientations such that twodimensional states of anti-plane shear constitute possible deformation fields. The crystals are modelled as ideally plastic and yield according to critical resolved shear stresses on their slip systems. Restrictions on the asymptotic forms of stress and deformation fields at crack tips are establish...

Basic thermofluid processes of a positive displacement compressor are strongly dependent upon the acoustic behavior of the manifolds. Hence manifold tuning is very important so as to increase flow capacity while reducing energy consumption and fluidborne noise; recently we developed a computer simulation program used to examine the tuning phenomena analytically. However, such numerical predicti...
