In this paper, the effect of initial stress on the radial vibrations of elastic hollow cylinder with rotation is discussed. The one-dimensional equation of elastodynamic is solved in terms of radial displacement. The frequency equation is obtained when the boundaries are free; fixed and mixed boundary condition is examined numerically. The determination is concerned with the eigenvalues of the ...

[1] We show that the spatial coherency of the ambient seismic field can be used for attenuation tomography in the western United States. We evaluate the real portion of the spatial coherency with an elastic geometric spreading term (a Bessel function) and a distance dependent decay (an attenuation coefficient). In order to invert the spatial coherency, a weight stack inversion technique is appl...

The motion of a domain wall in a two-dimensional medium is studied by taking into account the internal elastic degrees of freedom of the wall and geometrical pinning produced by both holes and sample boundaries. This study is used to analyze the geometrical conditions needed for optimizing crossed-ratchet effects in periodic rectangular arrays of asymmetric holes, recently observed experimental...

Gamma ray, density, sonic and core logs obtained from two boreholes drilled over a longwall panel in Southwestern (SW) Pennsylvania were analyzed for formation boundaries, log-derived porosities and densities and for rock elastic properties from sonic transit times. Gamma ray (GR) and density logs (DL) were analyzed using univariate statistical techniques and fractal statistics for similarity a...

Despite the hype surrounding enterprise architectures, they have delivered little on their promise. In this paper, we argue that enterprise architectures built using component-based frameworks are fundamentally flawed, in that they model the enterprise as a set of independent structures with discrete boundaries. Disparate concrete metaphors are used to describe each of these structures, with th...

We study via Monte Carlo simulations the influence of elastic interactions on the ordering and decomposition of a two-dimensional model binary alloy with antiferromagnetic nearest and ferromagnetic next nearest neighbor type interactions following a quench into the coexistence region. The elastic interaction leads to the development of a platelet morphology for the segregated ordered and disord...

We stabilize nematic droplets with handles against surface tension-driven instabilities, using a yield-stress material as outer fluid, and study the complex nematic textures and defect structures that result from the competition between topological constraints and the elasticity of the nematic liquid crystal. We uncover a surprisingly persistent twisted configuration of the nematic director ins...

Physisorbed polymer-tethered lipid bilayers consisting of phospholipids and lipopolymers represent an attractive planar model membrane platform, in which bilayer fluidity and membrane elastic properties can be regulated through lipopolymer molar concentration. Herein we report a method for the fabrication of such a planar model membrane system with a lateral gradient of lipopolymer density. In ...

The design of shallow foundations is dominated by issues of settlement, rather than by bearing capacity per-se. The ability to predict the settlement of foundations at a given factor of safety is hence of key importance in design. In this paper, the energy method for a linear-elastic perfectly plastic method utilizing the von Mises’ yield criterion with associated flow developed by McMahon et a...

Object proposal is utilized as a fundamental preprocessing of various multimedia applications by detecting the candidate regions of objects in images. In this paper, we propose a novel object proposal method, named elastic edge boxes, integrating window scoring and grouping strategies and utilizing both color and depth cues in RGBD images. We first efficiently generate the initial bounding boxe...
