Equity mutual fund loads have fallen, while stock ownership rates and equity mutual fund use have risen, plausibly boosting the stock wealth elasticity of U.S. consumption. Because of limited wealth and diversification needs, load declines likely spurred middle-income families to invest in equity, consistent with cross-section data and the calibration model of Heaton and Lucas (2000). In load-m...

the effect of axial deformation of shell particles on the dynamic instability (flutter) of cantilevered cylindrical shells made of functionally graded materials (fgm) under an end axial follower force is addressed. to this end, at first, results for free vibration of fgm cylindrical shells were verified with previous outcomes and they were in very good agreement. then, the effect of axial defor...

Abstract: In this paper we solve a simple dead load problem for an isotropic constrained material according to the linearized finite theory of elasticity. We show that the solution of such a problem can be obtained by linearizing with respect to the displacement gradient the solution of the corresponding problem in finite elasticity for an isotropic material subject to the same constraint, exac...

In this paper, the Elzaki transform method is used for solving two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in plane polar coordinates. Airy stress function was used to express the stress compatibility equation as a biharmonic equation. Elzaki transform was applied with respect to the radial coordinate to a modified form of the stress compatibility equation, and the biharmonic equation simplified t...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the mechanical properties of rats' calcaneus tendons, of repair arrangements using suture material in the absence of any healing process. METHOD Twelve male Wistar rats were used. They were subjected to placement of a modified Kessler suture stitch in the calcaneus tendon. The sacrifices were performed immediately after and six we...

We will study the inverse scattering problem for the Navier equation in elasticity with live loads. We give the definition of a Born approximation of the load from backscattering data. We will see that in 2D, for non-smooth load matrices the main singularities of the matrices are in fact contained in their Born approximations. The singularities are measured in the scale of Sobolev spaces.

In this work, the nonlocal elastic waves in a fluid conveying armchair thermo elastic single walled carbon nanotube under moving harmonic load is studied using Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory via Euler Bernoulli beam equation. The governing equations that contains partial differential equations for single walled carbon nanotube is derived by considering thermal and Lorenz magnetic force. The...

Today, cloud computing applications are rapidly constructed by services belonging to different cloud providers and service owners. This work presents the inter-cloud elasticity framework, which focuses on cloud load balancing based on dynamic virtual machine reconfiguration when variations on load or on user requests volume are observed. We design a dynamic reconfiguration system, called inter-...

Task resource allocation has always been an important issue in cloud-based data center networks (DCNs). This paper considers provisioning the maximum admissible load (MAL) of virtual machines (VMs) in physical machines (PMs) with underlying tree-structured DCNs using the hose model for communication. The limitation of static load distribution is that it assigns tasks to nodes in a once-and-for-...
