in this paper, the effect of bedrock inclination on seismic performance of slopes is investigated. the study was conducted based on dynamic analysis of different slopes, evaluation of the earthquake acceleration in sliding mass, and calculating the permanent displacement of the slope, using newmark sliding block. the investigation indicates that variation of the bedrock inclination may cause th...

[1] Crustal motion can be described as a vector displacement field, which depends on both the physical deformation and the reference frame. Self-consistent descriptions of surface kinematics must account for the dynamic relationship between the Earth’s surface and the frame origin at some defined center of the Earth, which is governed by the Earth’s response to the degree-one spherical harmonic...

analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...

The sensitivity of 1-3 piezocomposites can be improved by the addition of a third phase or interlayer around the piezoceramic rods which results in a composite with 1-1-3 connectivity. In the current investigation, dynamic surface displacements of both 1-3 and 1-1-3 piezocomposites were measured using a laser Doppler heterodyne interferometer. Dynamic displacement profiles showing the nonunifor...

Dithiothreitol (DTT)-based displacement is widely utilized for separating ligands from their gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates, a critical step for differentiating and quantifying surface-bound functional ligands and therefore the effective surface density of these species on nanoparticle-based therapeutics and other functional constructs. The underlying assumption is that DTT is smaller and ...

The development of full displacement field measurements as an alternative to the optical lever technique to measure the mechanical response for MEMS components in their environment calls for a modeling of chemically-induced mechanical fields (i.e., stress, strain, and displacements). As these phenomena usually arise from species adsorption, adsorbate modification or surface reconstruction, they...
