In the current research the maximum deflection of circular plates made of AA5010 and AA1100 alloys under blast load was investigated. Shock waves were produced by exploding a spherical charge in different distances from the center of plates. The ABAQUS software uses conwep equation for blast loading analysis. It was found the results of these simulations have about 30% to 40% inaccuracy in comp...

The Friedlander{Milnor Conjecture 1] asserts that if G is a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed eld k, then the comparison map H et (BG k ; Z=p) ?! H (BG; Z=p) is an isomorphism for all primes p not equal to the characteristic of k. Gabber's rigidity theorem 2] implies that this map is indeed an isomorphism for the stable general linear group GL (this is due to Suslin 6], als...

In the above correspondence (Y. Jin and B. Friedlander, “Detection of distributed sources using sensor arrays,” IEEE Trans. Signal Process., vol. 52, no. 6, pp. 1537–1548, June 2004), Jin and Friedlander develop a GLR-based detector for detecting a random spatially distributed signal source using an array of sensors. We show that the expression for required SNR (RSNR) has been incorrectly deriv...

As we observed in [3], one can also interpret the sums S(α;β) as special cases of the correlation sums arising in our work on algebraic twists of modular forms, and we also noted that our more general results and techniques had, as special case, this theorem of Birch and Bombieri. Very recently, Y. Zhang [12, Lemma 12] made a crucial use of this estimate in his work on bounded gaps between prim...
