a few of the presented soil behavior models are capable of predicting the triggering and post liquefaction and also shear band mechanism through the soil media. the assessment of earth-dam body behavior as a soil structure made of cohesive soil in core and non-cohesive soil as the core supports, including water interaction at upstream through earthquake upon a multi-line constitutive equations ...

In this paper, a mechatronic tracking system used for increasing the energetic efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) modules is designed and simulated. The tracking system is approached in the concurrent engineering concept, integrating the mechanical device and the control system at the virtual prototype level. The virtual prototype is a control loop composed by the multi-body (MBS) mechanical m...

Magnesium-rare earth based alloys are increasingly being investigated due to the formation of highly stable strengthening phases, activation of additional deformation modes and improvement in mechanical properties. Several investigations have been done to study the effect of rare earths when they are alloyed to pure magnesium and other Mg alloys. In this review, the mechanical properties of the...

Abstract Optimum perforation location selection is an important study to improve well production and hence in the reservoir development process, especially for unconventional high-pressure formations such as under study. Reservoir geomechanics one of key factors find optimal location. This aims detect optimum by investigating changes geomechanical properties wellbore stress studying difference ...
