the effect of boundary conditions on the solution of the inverse problem of identifying the geometry and location of a cavity inside an elastic solid body using displacement measurements obtained from a tension test is investigated. the boundary elements method (bem) coupled with the genetic algorithm (ga) and the conjugate gradient method (cgm) are implemented in this identification problem. a...

the adsorption study was conducted on three japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of arsenic (as). double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on as adsorption. for this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. the as adsorption showed two phase kinetics. an initial and rapid adsorpt...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...

the present paper investigates the potential application of graphene sheets with attached nanoparticles as resonant sensors by introducing a nonlocal shear deformation plate model. to take into account an elastic connection between the nanoplate and the attached nanoparticle, the nanoparticle is considered as a mass-spring system. then, a combination of pseudo-spectral and integral quadrature m...

in this paper, a numerical efficient method is proposed for the solution of time fractionalmobile/immobile equation. the fractional derivative of equation is described in the caputosense. the proposed method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and legendrespectral method in space. in this approach the time fractional derivative of mentioned equationis approximated by a scheme of order o...

this paper has been devoted to apply the reconstruction of variational iteration method (rvim) to handle the systems of integro-differential equations. rvim has been induced with laplace transform from the variational iteration method (vim) which was developed from the inokuti method. actually, rvim overcome to shortcoming of vim method to determine the lagrange multiplier. so that, rvim method...

in this paper, we propose a new numerical method for solution of urysohn two dimensional mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations of the second kind on a non-rectangular domain. the method approximates the solution by the discrete collocation method based on inverse multiquadric radialbasis functions (rbfs) constructed on a set of disordered data. the method is a meshless method, because it i...

in this work, we conduct a comparative study among the combine laplace transform and modied adomian decomposition method (lmadm) and two traditional methods for an analytic and approximate treatment of special type of nonlinear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind. the nonlinear part of integro-differential is approximated by adomian polynomials, and the equation is red...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...
