Fluid motion driven by planetary libration may play a key role in maintaining the magnetism of synchronous planets and moons that are thermally or chemically non-convective. We present a fully discrete finite element method on a triaxial ellipsoidal domain for simulating a three-dimensional nonlinear flow in a latitudinally librating triaxial ellipsoidal cavity, for which the usual pseudo-spect...

Geopolymer cement was evaluated as wellbore sealing material for carbon dioxide geosequestration application. Curing of cement system in saline water and strength testing in triaxial stress state condition under lateral confinement is relevant to primary cementing in CO2 geosequestration wellbore in saline aquifer. Geopolymer cement was cured in saline water (both at ambient conditions for 28 d...

An interactive program is described for calculating the second virial coefficient contribution to the thermodynamic nonideality of solutions of rigid macromolecules based on their triaxial dimensions. The FORTRAN-77 program, available in precompiled form for the PC, is based on theory for the covolume of triaxial ellipsoid particles [Rallison, J. M., and S.E Harding. (1985). J. Colloid Interfac...

The triaxial deformation in 10 Be is investigated using a microscopic α+α+n+n model. The states of two valence neutrons are classified based on the molecular-orbit (MO) model, and the π-orbit is introduced about the axis connecting the two α-clusters for the description of the rotational bands. There appear two rotational bands comprised mainly of K π = 0 + and K π = 2 + , respectively, at low ...

The orientation of the angular momentum vector with respect to the triaxial density distribution selects a left-handed or right-handed system principal axes. This breaking of chiral symmetry manifests itself as pairs of nearly identical ∆I = 1-bands. The chiral structures combine high-j particles and high-j holes with a triaxial rotor. Tilted axis cranking calculations predict the existence of ...

A triaxial accelerometer is placed at the back of the subject at the height of the center of mass. Force plate data are collected simultaneously. Subjects stand in a comfortable position with eyes open, eyes closed and doing cognitive tasks; and with feet together with eyes open and closed. The cognitive tasks are: mathematical, auditory Stroop and memory. The force plate data are processed to ...

Currently, over half of China’s trunk railways are located in permafrost regions. But to tackle the railway subgrade disease has always been the difficulty in the railway construction there. The influence that the dynamics performance of frozen silty clay has on permafrost subgrade is an important component in the researches towards permafrost subgrade. In this paper, the dynamics performance o...
