In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...

Imaging of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect in galaxy clusters combined with cluster plasma x-ray diagnostics can measure the cosmic distance scale to high redshift. However, projecting the inverseCompton scattering and x-ray emission along the cluster line-of-sight introduces systematic errors in the Hubble constant, H0, because the true shape of the cluster is not known. In this paper I pre...

The behavior of sand crushing will appear when the confining pressure is up to a certain value, which results in disappearing of the positive dilatancy of sand. Adopting a new hardening parameter with the crushing stress, an elastoplastic constitutive model considering sand crushing is proposed. Comparing the conventional triaxial compression test results with the model prediction, it shows tha...

This paper describes a method for identifying a person while walking by means of a triaxial accelerometer attached to the waist. Human gait is considered as a dynamical system whose attractor is reconstructed by time delay vectors. A Spectral Analysis on the state space reconstruction is used to characterize the attractor. The method is compared to other common methods used in gait recognition ...

The Bekenstein-Milgrom gravity theory with a modified Poisson equation is tested here for the existence of triaxial equilibrium solutions. Using the nonnegative least square method, we show that self-consistent triaxial galaxies exist for baryonic models with a mild density cusp ρ ∼ Σ r . Self-consistency is achieved for a wide range of central concentrations, Σ ∼ 10 − 1000M⊙pc , representing l...
