The problem due to the statically indeterminate contact forces arising in indeterminate frictional enveloping grasps is addressed in the paper. First of all, we show that the statical model for the contact forces is incomplete in the sense that the mathematical frictional forces may have an infeasible component. To resolve this infeasibility, we directly derive the enveloping grasp infeasibilit...

The authors discuss modifications to a simple linearmodel of intraseasonal moisturemodes.Wind–evaporation feedbacks were shown in an earlier study to induce westward propagation in an eastward mean low-level flow in this model. Here additional processes, which provide effective sources of moist static energy to the disturbances and which also depend on the low-level wind, are considered. Severa...

utilizing polymeric materials for damping mechanical waves is of great importance in various fields of applications such as military camouflage, prevention of structural vibrational energy transfer, and noise attenuation. this ability originates from segmental dynamics of chain-like polymer molecules. damping properties of styrene-butadiene rubbercontaining 10 wt% of monosize polystyrene partic...

a reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure due to gustiness of wind velocity is carried out using the concept of pra (probabilistic risk analysis) procedure. for this purpose, the bending stresses at the critical nodes of the bridge deck are obtained for buffeting forces using a spectral analysis technique and a finite element approach. for the purpose of reliability...

it is evident for everyone that translation is of importance in communication. the reason is due to the fact that translation is considered both as a building bridge and a common bond among various cultures and people around the world. many researchers and theorists in the translation field consider style in the literary translation as a significant subject. the present study tries to evaluate ...

A kinetic formulation developed to analyze wave propagation in dusty plasmas, which takes into account the variation of the charge of the dust particles due to inelastic collisions with electrons and ions, is utilized to study the propagation and damping of electrostatic waves with wave number exactly parallel to the external magnetic field and Maxwellian distributions for the electrons and ion...
