Brittleness is an essential parameter to determine the deformation and failure behavior of rocks, it useful quantify brittleness rocks in numerus engineering practices. A novel energy-based evaluation index proposed this study, which redefines dissipated proportion ultimate elastic strain energy relative post-peak residual energy. series conventional triaxial compression (CTC) tests were perfor...

in the present work, the structural and electronic properties, and conductivity of (5,5) and (6,6) single walled carbon nanotubes in the ground state have done by using the hartree-fock and density functional theory dft-b3lyp/6-31g* level. delocalization of charge density between the bonding or lone pair and antibonding orbitals calculated by nbo (natural bond orbital) analysis. these methods a...

The well-to-wheels assessment is widely used in the automotive sector to analyze the efficiency and competitiveness of different powertrain/fuel options. The paper proposes a global index that takes into account both the energy and environmental aspects on an uniform basis, through the assignment of the costs associated to the energy and to the pollutant emissions. The European market is analyz...
