in this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in abaqus software and the modified colliding bodies optimization (mcbo) algorithm implemented in matlab environment. this approach is then employed to study the influence of variable geometrical and geo-mechan...

tehran shomal highway passes through alborz mountains with a tunnel length of 6400 meters. there are two main tunnels. a full three-dimensional (3d) numerical analysis coupled with elasto-plastic material models was conducted on the inclined access tunnel. bending moment, axial force and the lining displacements due to the internal forces applied on the shotcrete lining are calculated. axial fo...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition and clinical diagnosis is often easily made. A system of direct referral for day-case carpal tunnel surgery was introduced. General practitioners, physicians and surgeons were advised of the service and the criteria for referral, which included female patients with bilateral symptoms and physical signs, and some response to conservative treatment. Al...

In this paper, the author studies about the traffic safety technology of highway tunnel group. In this study measured traffic safety technology in the access zone of tunnels including tunnel luminance under diverse climate conditions were measured and luminance of the threshold zone were estimated. Then operating traffic safety technology of tunnel in China was compared and analyzed and, based ...

A wind tunnel simulation requires high-performance computing power like supercomputers and deep knowledge of this subject. Those requirements make win tunnel simulation difficult. Grid technology will make these difficulties simpler by providing easy to use grid web portal. By using grid web portal, scientist can execute simulation and access to highperformance computing power without any serio...

In this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in ABAQUS software and the Modified Colliding Bodies Optimization (MCBO) algorithm implemented in MATLAB environment.

The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) connects IPv6 hosts/routers over IPv4 networks. ISATAP views the IPv4 network as a link layer for IPv6 and views other nodes on the network as potential IPv6 hosts/routers. ISATAP supports automatic tunneling and a tunnel interface management abstraction similar to the NonBroadcast, Multiple Access (NBMA) and ATM Permanent/Switched Vi...

NASA Ames Research Center has developed several advanced distributed information systems to assist the distribution, analysis and management of data from experimental and numerical tests on aircraft wings and other aeronautical components. These systems provide immediate access to numerical aeronautics simulations and redefine the analysis operations for classic wind tunnel tests. The informati...

Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAMs) are “Spintronics” devices that store data in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) and have high data processing speed, low power consumption and high integration density compared with FLASH memories. Also, MRAM offers relative large Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) at room temperature and it is compatible with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) pro...
