We measure shear response in packings of glass beads by pulling a thin, rough, metal plate vertically through a bed of volume fraction φ, which is set, before the plate is pulled, in the range 0.575 to 0.628. The yield stress is velocity independent over 4 decades and increases exponentially with φ, with a transition at φ ≈ 0.595. An analysis of the measured force fluctuations indicates that th...

This paper investigates a physical model of the wheel traction in the relationship of the motion dynamics, and thereby studies the cases where a rover negotiates with natural rough terrain, slips and stacks on a steep slope. Experiments are carried out with a rover test bed to observe the physical phenomena and extract essential parameters, and the dynamic simulations are carried out to be comp...

the aim of this paper is to introduce and study set- valued homomorphism on lattices and t-rough lattice with respect to a sublattice. this paper deals with t-rough set approach on the lattice theory. the result of this study contributes to, t-rough fuzzy set and approximation theory and proved in several papers. keywords: approximation space; lattice; prime ideal; rough ideal; t-rough set; set...

Appropriate surface wettability and roughness of biomaterials is an important factor in cell attachment and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the correlation between surface wettability and roughness, and biological response in human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs). We prepared wettable and rough gradient polyethylene (PE) surfaces by increasing the power of a radio frequency co...

Unlike a transonic flow in compressible aerodynamics, a ship cruising steadily in a channel at nearly the linearized long wave speed generates unsteady wave motion. In a channel of limited width, solitons are radiated periodically up-stream. Such waves may have been the cause of a fatal accident at the Port of Harwich, England, and were described by a witness “like the white cliffs of Dover”. A...
