Planetary magnetic fields are generated by motions of electrically conducting fluids in their interiors. The dynamo problem has thus received much attention spherical geometries, even though planetary bodies non-spherical. To go beyond the assumption, we develop an algorithm that exploits a fully spectral description field triaxial ellipsoids to solve induction equation with local boundary cond...

A series of tests were performed to investigate the creep characteristics of soil in interactive marine and terrestrial deposit of Pearl River Delta. The secondary consolidation test results show that the influence of consolidation pressure on coefficient of secondary consolidation is conditional, which is decided by the consolidation state. The ratio of coefficient of secondary consolidation a...

This paper deals with new analytical solutions to predict tensile and in-plane shear strengths of triaxial weave fabric (TWF) composites accounting for the interaction between angularly interlacing yarns. The triaxial yarns in three directions of 0 ° and ±60 ° in micromechanical unit cell (UC) are idealized as the curved beams with a path depicted by using sinusoidal shape functions. The tensil...

This paper presents a coupled elastoplastic constitutive model for predicting the hydraulic and stress-strain-strength behaviour of unsaturated soils. Hydraulic hysteresis in the water-retention behaviour is modeled as an elastoplastic process with the elastic region of the saturation degree. The effect of change in degree of saturation on the stress-strain-strength behaviour and the effect of ...

In this paper, application of energy-based excess pore pressure generation model proposed by Park et al. (2008) to develop an improved model for the analysis of liquefaction potential and to predict excess pore pressure (EPP) is examined through experimental and analytical investigations. For more realistic description of the dynamic responses of saturated sand undrained dynamic triaxial tests ...

The spatiul veotoreardiogram was recorded on 34 normal mongrel dogs employing the equilateral tetrahedral reference system. The QRS sE-loop was long, narrow, and elliptical, and oriented slightly to the left, ventrad and caudad, the majority of the maximal vectors lying in the fifth sextant of the triaxial reference system in both the anterior and left sagittal plane projections. The trace was ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the production feasibility of triaxial whiteware using sand from cast iron moulds as a raw material instead of silica, and recycled glass in place of feldspar. Formulations were prepared using sand, glass waste, and white-firing clay such that only 50% of the composition was virgin material (clay). The ceramic bodies were formed by pressing and fired at...
