Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...

in this paper, three dimensional (3d) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) is presented. using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. a weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, ...

We propose an interface applicable to actual use case for efficiently utilizing costly urban 3D data. We invent Topological Network Model as an interface model for combining numerical urban 3D data and varieties of contents text data. As a result, both types of data can be managed independently and usability of these data enhances. Moreover, we propose a new method of submitting query for urban...

Abstract. 3D prestack depth migration is an important and commonly used way to obtain the images of complex structures in seismic date processing. In this paper, 3D prestack depth migration with hybrid four-way splitting scheme is investigated. Wavefield extrapolation is based on the 3D acoustic one-way. The hybrid four-way splitting algorithm based on factorization is derived. Numerical calcul...

lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. one among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. this paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3d graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of b2c e-commerce websit...

A mixed semi-analytical cum numerical approach is presented in this paper which accounts for the coupled mechanical and electrical response of piezoelectric, functionally graded (FG) and layered composite hollow circular cylinders of finite length. Under axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings, the three-dimensional problem (3D) gets reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain proble...
