This study presents a new approach for physical and material modeling of space frame-raft-soil system. The physical modeling consists of a modified Thimoshenko beam bending element with six degrees of freedom per node to model the beams and columns of the superstructure, a modified Mindlin's plate bending element with five degrees of freedom per node to represent the structural slabs and raft, ...

In 1958, the Dutch artist M.C. Escher became the first person to create artistic patterns in hyperbolic geometry. He used the Poincar é circle model of hyperbolic geometry. Slightly more than 20 years later, my students and I implemented a computer program that could draw repeating hyperbolic patterns in this model. The ...

Thermoelastic damping (TED) in a circular micro-plate resonator subjected to an electrostatic pressure is studied. The coupled thermo-elastic equations of a capacitive circular micro plate are derived considering hyperbolic heat conduction model and solved by applying Galerkin discretization method. Applying complex-frequency approach to the coupled thermo-elastic equations, TED is obtained for...

Hyperbolic trigonometry is developed and illustrated in this article along lines parallel to Euclidean trigonometry by exposing the hyperbolic trigonometric law of cosines and of sines in the Poincaré ball model of n-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, as well as their application. The Poincaré ball model of 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry is becoming increasingly important in the construction o...

for determination of economic damage threshold of four wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars in different densities of wild mustard (sinapis arvensis l.), experiments were conducted at agricultural research station gorgan during 2010-2012. the experimental design consisted of four randomized complete blocks in a factorial arrangement. the treatments comprised of factorial combination of wild m...
