The present investigation is concerned with the deformation of thermoporoelastic half space with incompressible fluid as a result of inclined load of arbitrary orientation. The inclined load is assumed to be linear combination of normal load and tangential load. The Laplace and Fourier transform technique are used to solve the problem. The concentrated force, uniformly distributed force and a m...

abstract lateral intake is a hydraulic structure which is used for diversion of some portion of water from a river for the purpose of irrigation, storage and industrial. most of lateral intakes from canal are installed at canal with inclined banks which has not received the attention of the researchers in the past. since the flow discharge and sediment which enters the intake canal depends on t...

In the present study, the boundary value problems in generalized thermodiffusive elastic medium has been investigated as a result of inclined load. The inclined load is assumed to be a linear combination of normal load and tangential load. Laplace transform with respect to time variable and Fourier transform with respect to space variable are applied to solve the problem. As an application of t...

Foundations of structures which are subjected to uplift loading require anchoring systems to resist pullout loads. Such anchors can be broadly classified as gravity anchors, pile anchors and plate anchors. Plate anchors can be circular, square or strip in shape. The loading applied on plate anchors can be vertical, inclined or horizontal depending on the anchor orientation. In this study, vario...

Ali Khounsary Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory Argonne,IL60649 The high heat load associated with the powerful and concentrated x-ray beams generated by insertion devices (IDs) at a number of present and many of the future (planned or under construction) synchrotron radiation facilities poses a formidable engineering challenge for the design of monochromators and other optical...

The plane strain deformation of an isotropic, homogeneous, poroelastic medium caused by an inclined line-load is studied using the Biot linearized theory for fluid saturated porous materials. The analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses in the medium are obtained by applying suitable boundary conditions. The solutions are obtained analytically for the limiting case of undrained...

due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. in this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on gurtin-murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

It has been found that young guinea pigs when progressing over a surface inclined at an angle alpha with the horizontal, orient upward in a way such that the path described by an oriented animal is at a mean angle theta with the base of the inclined surface. The magnitude of mean theta increases as the angle of inclination alpha increases. The function relating theta and alpha is compound, bein...
