This paper presents a numerical analysis of the seismic behaviour of earth dams. Analysis is conducted for the solid phase. It may correspond to the response of the dam before water filling. Analysis is conducted for a simple case which concerns the elastic response of the dam. Numerical analyses are conducted using the FLAC3D program. The behaviour of the Shell and core of the dam and the foun...

We find the spatial variation of material parameters for pressurized cylinders and spheres composed of either an incompressible Hookean, neo-Hookean, or Mooney–Rivlin material so that during their axisymmetric deformations either the in-plane shear stress or the hoop stress has a desired spatial variation. It is shown that for a cylinder and a sphere made of an incompressible Hookean material, ...

in hilbert space l2(rn), we prove the equivalence between the mod-ulus of smoothness and the k-functionals constructed by the sobolev space cor-responding to the fourier transform. for this purpose, using a spherical meanoperator.

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

Statistical study In general 3 experiments were taken into account in order to calculate dispersion parameters as standard deviation and variation coefficient (RSD). The last column in Table S1 shows the percentage variation of the interfacial impedance modulus when recognition reaction was taking place. Indeed the interfacial impedance variation on a surface coated with BSA is in a linear rela...

to investigate the saturation induced collapse deformation behavior of rockfill material, a set of large-scale triaxial tests were conducted in saturated and dry-saturated conditions. specimens were tested under various confining pressures. for dry-saturated tests, specimens were sheared in various stress levels. results of all dry saturated tests indicate a sudden reduction in the specimen vol...

in this paper, using the tools involving measures of noncompactness and darbo fixed point theorem forcondensing operator, we study the existence of solutions for a large class of generalized nonlinear quadraticfunctional integral equations. also, we show that solutions of these integral equations are locally attractive.furthermore, we present an example to show the efficiency and usefulness of ...
