rock slope stability depends very much on the strength features of the rock and the geometrical and strength characteristics of the discontinuities (e.g., roughness, wall strength and persistence). since a rock mass is not a continuum, its behavior is dominated by such discontinuities as faults, joints and bedding planes. also, rock slope instability is a major hazard for human activities and o...

Let E be an elliptic curve over the finite field F_{q}, P a point in E(F_{q}) of order n, and Q a point in the group generated by P. The discrete logarithm problem on E is to find the number k such that Q = kP. In this paper we reduce the discrete logarithm problem on E[n] to the discrete logarithm on the group F*_{q} , the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of Fq, in the case where n | q...

The discrete element method (DEM) is used to reveal the main features of fracture in materials with different degree heterogeneity. It shown that this adequately describes properties process such as brittle and ductile behavior, two-staged nature heterogeneous materials, heterogeneity spatial distribution local internal stresses depending on Keywords: method, computer modelling.

A pattern synthesis method based on Evolutionary Algorithm is presented to generate a dual radiation pattern from a planar array of isotropic antennas. The desired patterns are obtained by finding out optimum set of elements excitations. Flat-top and Pencil beams share a common optimum amplitude distribution among the array elements. Flat-top beam is generated by updating the zero phases with t...

In this paper the effect of faults in the elements and parts of discrete event systems is investigated. In the occurrence of faults, some states of the system must be changed and some of them must be forbidden. For this goal, different states of these elements are examined and a model for fail-safe behavior of each state is introduced. Replacing new models of the target elements in the prelimin...

discrete element method (dem) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by dem simulation. in this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...

soft-sphere discrete element method (dem) and navier-stokes equations were coupled with equations of energy for gas and solids to investigate the process of agglomeration in fluidized bed of polyethylene particles at high temperature. the newton’s second law of motion was adapted for translational and rotational motion of particles and agglomerates. the cohesive force for polyethylene particles...
