‎in this paper‎, ‎we propose two iterative methods for finding a common solution of a finite family of equilibrium problems ‎for pseudomonotone bifunctions‎. ‎the first is a parallel hybrid extragradient-cutting algorithm which is extended from the‎ ‎previously known one for variational inequalities to equilibrium problems‎. ‎the second is a new cyclic hybrid‎ ‎extragradient-cutting algorithm‎....

The paper reviews the modeling of damage by the microplane model and presents extensions required for cyclic loading. The general microplane constitutive model is implemented in a three-dimensional finite element code and used in damage and bifurcation analysis of various structures. The results of the analysis are compared with test results and some of the comparisons are shown in the present ...

In this paper, we study the transient behavior of a finite server (representing an ATM switch) which derives its input from a token leaky bucket with renewal cell arrival and deterministic token arrival distributions. We derive expressions for the transient and time averaged state probabilities, and transient and time averaged blocking probabilities for both the leaky bucket and server. We also...

This investigation deals with the combined effects of Navier slip, suction/injection, convective cooling and temperature dependent viscosity on an unsteady third grade fluid flow in a porous channel filled with saturated porous medium. The heat exchange with the ambient at the channel surfaces is assumed to obey Newton’s law of cooling. The model equations governing the flow system are solved u...

An investigation is performed to study the effect of suction/injection on unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection flow of viscous reactive fluid between two vertical porous plates in the presence of thermal diffusion. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved numerically using semi-implicit finite-difference scheme. For steady case, analytical solutions have been ...

Unsaturated soils are commonly widespread around the world, especially at shallow depths from the surface. The mechanical behavior of this near surface soil is influenced by the seasonal variations such as rainfall or drought, which in turn may have a detrimental effect on many structures (e.g. retaining walls, shallow foundations, mechanically stabilized earth walls, soil slopes, and pavements...

in this paper an exponentially fitted finite difference method is presented for solving singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with the boundary layer. a fitting factor is introduced and the model equation is discretized by a finite difference scheme on an uniform mesh. thomas algorithm is used to solve the tri-diagonal system. the stability of the algorithm is investigated. it ...

Prestressing steel wires are commonly used as reinforcement elements in structures bearing fatigue loads. These wires are obtained by a conforming process called cold drawing, where a progressive reduction of the wire diameter is produced, causing residual stress in the commercial wire. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of diverse in-service cyclic loading conditions (cyclic loadin...

objective: endothelium is a selective and permeable membrane for transferring nutrients and vital components to arterial wall. endothelial damage might lead to altered biological function of endothelium and clinical consequences such as atherosclerosis. blood pressure pulse always exerts circumferential tension to the arterial wall. hence, such tension together with other loads, play important ...
