in this paper shear behavior of two calcareous sands having different physical properties areinvestigated using drained and undrained triaxial tests. the investigated sands are obtained from two differentzones located in persian gulf, kish island and tonbak region. analysis based on energy aspects show thatfriction angle in these soils, having crushable particles, is formed of three components:...

We discuss some characteristic features of the wobbling motion excited on the triaxial superdeformed Lu nucleus. We show how these features are connected to the moments of inertia microscopically calculated by means of the quasiparticle RPA in the rotating frame.

It is shown that the rotating mean field of triaxial nuclei can break the chiral symmetry. Two nearly degenerate DeltaI=1 rotational bands originate from the left-handed and right-handed solutions.

Abstract With recent developments in direct imaging techniques using x-ray and neutron imaging, there is an increasing need for efficient test setups to study the mechanical and/or transport behavior of porous rocks. Bespoke designs from commercial suppliers are expensive often difficult modify. This paper presents a novel design portable triaxial cell deformation (and suggested adaptation intr...

We construct self-consistent dynamical models for disk galaxies with triaxial, cuspy halos. We begin with an equilibrium, axisymmetric, disk-bulge-halo system and apply an artificial acceleration to the halo particles. By design, this acceleration conserves energy and thereby preserving the system’s differential energy distribution even as its phase space distribution function is altered. The h...

This paper presents an adaptive variable structure controller with on-line identification of the upper bounds of uncertainties and disturbance for MEMS triaxial angular sensors device that is able to detect rotation in three orthogonal axes, using a single vibrating mass. A robust adaptive sliding mode controller is developed and the stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed with th...

[1] Understanding the mechanical behavior of rock is critical for researchers and decision-makers in fields from petroleum recovery to hazardous waste disposal. Traditional continuum-based numerical models are hampered by inadequate constitutive relationships governing fracture initiation and growth. To overcome limits associated with continuum models we employed a discrete model based on the f...

Despite the widespread installation of accelerometers in almost all mobile phones and wearable devices, activity recognition using accelerometers is still immature due to the poor recognition accuracy of existing recognition methods and the scarcity of labeled training data. We consider the problem of human activity recognition using triaxial accelerometers and deep learning paradigms. This pap...

Residual stress present in coupons used for fracture testing will influence the experimental determination of fracture toughness. Triaxial residual stress (e.g., due to welding) can alter both the driving force for fracture and the crack-tip constraint at a specified load, so that the apparent toughness of a coupon depends on the residual stress present. In this paper, we employ a micromechanic...

The nuclear wobbling motion in the Lu region is studied by the microscopic cranked mean-field plus RPA method. The Woods-Saxon potential is used as a mean-field with a new parameterization which gives reliable description of rapidly rotating nuclei. The prescription of symmetry-preserving residual interaction makes the calculation of the RPA step parameter-free, and we find the wobbling-like RP...
