The stability analysis of rock slopes is a complex task for the geotechnical engineers due to the complex nature of the rock mass in a tropical climate that often has discontinuities in several forms, and consequently, in several types of slope failures. In this work, a rock mass classification scheme is followed in a tropical environment using the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Geological St...

Within the framework of Newtonian celestial mechanics, a material system is considered. It consists two spherically symmetrical bodies comparable masses moving inside gas dust ball with density distribution medium in it. Problems are formulated and solved. They give an answer to degree influence gravitational field inhomogeneous on motion stability their mass center relative coordinates bodies,...

in this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the nosrat jacket; located in persian gulf; equipped with semi active tuned mass damper (satmd) system have been derived after modeling the structure in sacs software. owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of satmd was time consuming. for this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...
