The most general approach for the solution of the dynamic response of structural systems is the direct numerical integration of the dynamic equilibrium equations. This involves, after the solution is defined at time zero, the attempt to satisfy dynamic equilibrium at discrete points in time. Most methods use equal time intervals at ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ t t t N t , , ........ 2 3 . Many different numerical t...

non-consolidation and dispersion of agricultural lands is considered as one of the serious barriers against agricultural development. small-size farms along with their being dispersed hinders the efficient use of water, land, labor, mechanization and other factors effective in agricultural production. the main purpose followed in this article is to study the attitude of farmers towards land int...
