The mechanical properties of steel are the most important factor in the safety of structures that must be stable and appropriate. In order to investigate whether the process capability of steel production meets the quality requirements or not, Sung et al. proposed a procedure to evaluate the production and quality control of steel manufacturing. This evaluation model uses statistics to judge th...

We propose a unified framework for identifying and interrelating the main issues underlying the debate about the nature of scientific method. This is done in terms of a process model of the scientific process in which the core elements are the reality to be understood, observations, theory, action resulting from theory and the larger social system, which includes science as a component institut...

The present invention provides a method of analyzing for a specific material in a sample using a sensor including a resonating member having resonating properties. The resonating member has a probe and a known material is disposed on or forms the probe. The method includes the steps of positioning the sensor proximate to the sample, detecting a force dependent change in the resonance properties...

in this paper, the numerical solution methods of one- particale, one – dimensional time- independentschrodinger equation are presented that allows one to obtain accurate bound state eigen values andeigen functions for an arbitrary potential energy function v(x). these methods included the fem(finite element method), cooly, numerov and others. here we considered the numerov method inmore details...

this study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. in this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. a detailed parame...

this paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. the resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. this comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. the variants of the study incl...
