distinct target of this paper is development of 'implicit discrete element method (dem)' in three dimensions for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on layered (non-homogeneous) soils consisting of sand overlying sand or clay overlying sand and vice versa with different shear resisting parameters. in this method, shear resisting parameters and density of ea...

Dynamic behaviour of nonlinear free vibration of circular plate resting on two-parameters foundation is studied. The governing ordinary differential equation is solved analytically using hybrid Laplace Adomian decomposition method. The analytical solutions obtained are verified with existing results in literature. The analytical solutions are used to determine the influence of elastic fou...

Normally off devices like Metal Oxide Semiconductor Transistors (MOSFET) are sensitive to light and can be controlled optically. These devices have high package density, low power consumption and dynamic operating range. In this paper modelling and simulation of MOSFET devices is carried out in 1GHz to 10GHz frequency band. Devices are controlled optically by varying optical power of incident r...

An overview of offshore wind turbine (OWT) foundations is presented, focusing primarily on the monopile foundation. The uncertainty in offshore soil conditions as well as random wind and wave loading is currently treated with a deterministic design procedure, though some standards allow engineers to use a probability-based approach. Laterally loaded monopile foundations are typically designed u...

In this paper we develop the formalism for stochastic approach to inflation at all order in slow-roll parameters. This is done by including momentum and Hamiltonian constraints into equations. We then specialise widely used Starobinski approximation where interactions between IR UV modes are neglected. show that, whenever holds, no significant deviations observed when comparing two-point correl...

similar to other domains of inquiry and knowledge, social sciences are influenced by various philosophical views and different axioms about the creation and humanity. given that in social sciences human being is both the object and subject of inquiry and is the focal point of analysis, anthropological foundations become especially relevant for these sciences. considering that motahhari and kant...

Static analysis of shear deformable plates resting on two-parameter foundations is presented by the method of discrete singular convolution (DSC). The influence of foundation parameters on the deflections of the plate has been investigated. Numerical studies are performed and the DSC results are compared well with other analytical solutions and some numerical results.

In the present paper, bending and stress analyses of two-directional functionally graded (FG) circular plates resting on non-uniform two-parameter foundations (Winkler-Pasternak foundations) are investigated using a first-order shear-deformation theory. To enhance the accuracy of the results, the transverse stress components are derived based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The s...

naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. the main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. in t...
