Multi-Objective Optimization takes care of different objectives with the objectives keeping their own units. The internal mechanical solution of a Ratio System, producing dimensionless numbers, is preferred. The ratio system creates the opportunity to use a second approach: a Reference Point Theory, which uses the ratios of the ratio system. This overall theory is called MOORA (Multi-Objective ...

in this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposites timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (swbnnt) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. the modified coupled stress (mcst) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. the mechani...

In random network models, sizes for pores and throats are distributed according to a truncated Weibull distribution. As result, parameters defining the shape of distribution critical characteristic network. this paper, an algorithm distribute in was established more representatively describe topology porous media. First, relations between dimensionless throat were studied series standard curves...

We consider the resistance law for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) from the point of view of the similarity theory. In other words, we select the set of the PBL governing parameters and search for an optimal way to express through these parameters the geostrophic drag coefficient Cg=u∗/Ug and the cross isobaric angle α(where u∗ is the friction velocity and Ug is the geostrophic wind speed). ...

The probabilistic response of depth-integrated soil water to given climatic forcing can be described readily using an existing supply-demand-storage model. An apparently complex interaction of numerous soil, climate, and plant controls can be reduced to a relatively simple expression for the equilibrium probability density function of soil water as a function of only two dimensionless parameter...

Dimensionless governing equations of unsteady flow and solutions for the pipeline systems having a surge tank were developed. Frequency domain pressure response expressions two widely used water supply analyzed in dimensionless frequency time domains. One is simple reservoir valve system other with pump check protected by tank. Two different developed performance was compared. The pattern imped...

simultaneous capillary dominated displacement of the wetting and non-wetting phases are processes of interest in many disciplines including modeling of the penetration of polluting liquids in hydrology or the secondary migration in petroleum reservoir engineering. percolation models and in particular invasion percolation is well suited to characterize the slow immiscible displacement of two flu...

This study deals with the vibration response of sandwich plate with nano-composite core and smart magneto-strictive face sheets. Composite core is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and its effective elastic properties are obtained by the rule of Mixture. Terfenol-D films are used as the face sheets of sandwich due to magneto-mechanical coupling in magneto-strictive material (MsM). In order ...
