The fundamental concern of this article has been to apply the residual power series method (RPSM) effectively to determine of the unknown spacewise dependent coefficient in the time fractional heat equation in the Caputo sense with over measured data. First, the fractional power series solution of inverse problem of unknown spacewise dependent coefficient is obtained by residual power series me...

Laser materials processing normally induces a certain residual stress distribution in the target material. Distributions favoring microcrack propagation lead to reduced fatigue life of the material. This paper investigates the feasibility of altering the stress field by using underwater shock waves in the micron scale. Shock pressure was computed and the stress analysis was conducted, in which ...

  In this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. But near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. Therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tu...

Plastic deformation causes very small changes in the thermoelastic response of metallic materials; this variation of the thermoelastic constant has the potential to form the basis of a new non-destructive, non-contact, full-field technique for residual stress assessment that is quicker and cheaper than existing methods. The effect of plastic strain on the thermoelastic constant is presented as ...

Foreign direct investment in developing countries has recently received a renewed attention as a major determinant of financial development. Indeed, where markets are financially constrained, foreign investment offers a viable financing opportunity assorted with a transfer of technological and managerial know-how. In this paper, we examine the determinants of foreign investors’ participation in...

The experiment was conducted using Randomized Complete Block Design with Row Column arrangement and three replications. Grain yield, phenological and other traits were recorded. The Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) combined analysis of variance across locations showed very highly significant (P

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a commonly used statistical analysis in agricultural experiments. Additivity, variance homogeneity, and normality are often considered prerequisites for ANOVA (Cochran, 1943; Eisenhart, 1947). The interpretation of ANOVA is valid when the random errors are independently distributed according to a normal distribution with zero mean and an unknown but fixed varianc...
