water saturation and cation exchange capacity are the most significant parameters used to calculate a hydrocarbon zone potential. in clean formations, by applying the famous archie model, which assumes that in the formation the only electric conductor is the formation water, the water saturation can be calculated. additionally, in shaly sand formations this assumption may not be true as the ion...

This study is focused on finite element analysis of a model comprising femur into which a femoral component of a total hip replacement was implanted. The considered prosthesis is fabricated from a functionally graded material (FGM) comprising a layer of a titanium alloy bonded to a layer of hydroxyapatite. The elastic modulus of the FGM was adjusted in the radial, longitudinal, and longitudinal...

a r t i c l e i n f o A powerful and robust numerical homogenization method based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) is formulated to identify the viscoelastic behavior of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in hardened cement paste from its heterogeneous composition. The identification is contingent upon the linearity of the creep law. To characterize cement paste microstructure, the model develope...

‎Some functional inequalities‎ ‎in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces are presented‎. ‎The bi-weighted modular inequality with variable exponent $p(.)$ for the Hardy operator restricted to non‎- ‎increasing function which is‎‎$$‎‎int_0^infty (frac{1}{x}int_0^x f(t)dt)^{p(x)}v(x)dxleq‎‎Cint_0^infty f(x)^{p(x)}u(x)dx‎,‎$$‎ ‎is studied‎. ‎We show that the exponent $p(.)$ for which these modular ine...

abstract. in this paper we study some relations between the power andquotient power graph of a finite group. these interesting relations motivateus to find some graph theoretical properties of the quotient power graphand the proper quotient power graph of a finite group g. in addition, weclassify those groups whose quotient (proper quotient) power graphs areisomorphic to trees or paths.

we prove that for $p>7$ there are‎ ‎[‎ ‎p^{4}+2p^{3}+20p^{2}+147p+(3p+29)gcd (p-1,3)+5gcd (p-1,4)+1246‎ ‎] ‎groups of order $p^{8}$ with exponent $p$‎. ‎if $p$ is a group of order $p^{8}$‎ ‎and exponent $p$‎, ‎and if $p$ has class $c>1$ then $p$ is a descendant of $‎p/gamma _{c}(p)$‎. ‎for each group of exponent $p$ with order less than $‎p^{8} $ we calculate the number of descendants of o...

Thin coupons of white portland cement (WPC) and tricalcium silicate paste were decalcified by leaching in concentrated ammonium nitrate solutions, resulting in calcium-to-silicon molar ratios (C/S) ranging from 3.0 (control) down to 0.3. The microstructure and surface area were measured using both small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and nitrogen gas sorption. The intensity in the SANS data re...

The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...

Indentation is a new method for estimating residual stress. The plastic behavior of the materials under study can affect indentation parameters and, thus, influences the results of residual stress measurement. In this paper, the effect of yield stress and work-hardening exponent on the accuracy of residual stress measurements in steels and aluminums was studied. Results showed that, for m...
