The dynamic response of the leg (tether) of a Tension Leg Platform(TLP), subjected to axial load at the top of the leg, is presented. The structural model is very simple, but several complicated factors, such as foundation ...

In this work, the hydrodynamics of multicomponent ideal gas mixtures have been studied. Starting from kinetic equations, the Eulerian approach is used to derive equations of motion for a multicomponent system, where each ...

In this paper, a unified explicit tensorial relation is sought between two stress tensors conjugate to arbitrary and general Hill strains. The approach used for deriving the tensorial relation is based on the eigenprojection ...

In this paper, the stacking sequence optimization of a laminated cylindrical shell has been studied for obtaining maximum natural frequency and buckling stress, simultaneously. An anisotropic cylindrical shell has a finite ...

In this study, an approximate evaluation method for ductile fracture analysis of a circumferentially semi-elliptical-cracked pipe, subjected to combined bending and tension, was newly developed. This method can explicitly ...

The goal of this paper is to describe a simple method for the automated data acquisition and analysis of data taken by programmable instruments. Device controls and communication method are explained and some typical ...

This paper describes a numerical simulation technique that is used to investigate a dynamic train-long suspension bridge interaction. A three-dimensional finite element model is used to represent a long suspension bridge. ...

The ultrasonic velocity of lanthanide chlorides in aqueous t-butanol has been determined, using a single-crystal interferometer at 25, 30, 35 and 40degree C. The velocities are accurate to ± 0.003 %. The velocity data are ...

In this paper, the probe absorption spectrum of a four-level atom in photonic crystals has been investigated. A model is used, which assumes the transitions from the two upper levels to one of the lower levels coupled to ...

This paper presents a hybrid scheduling technique for generating the predictive schedules of passenger trains. The algorithm, which represents a combination of simulated annealing and a constraint-based heuristic, has been ...

In this paper, the seminal work of Eshragh and Modarres has been discussed in a statistical estimation problem called the Decision on Belief (DoB). The proposed approach has been thoroughly investigated and presented in a ...
