The present work addresses the problem of maximizing a structure load-bearing capacity subject to given material strength properties and volume constraint. This can be viewed as an extension limit analysis problems which consist in finding maximum load for fixed geometry. We show that it is also closely linked minimizing total under constraint carrying loading. Formulating these topology optimi...

This paper proposes mathematical modeling and analysis of ferrofluid lubricated newly designed slider bearing having convex pad (surface or plate) stator with two porous layers attached to the slider. The problem considers the effect of slip velocity proposed by Sparrow et. al.[1] and modified by Shah et. al.[2] at the film-porous interface. The squeeze velocity V=−which appears when the upper ...

The objective of this research is to predict how strip footings behave when rested on an undrained clay layer enhanced using a top replacement with and without geo-grid. study was conducted in several stages, including collecting load-settlement curves from "Finite Element Method" (FEM) models different strengths, thicknesses, axial stiffnesses the These were then idealized hyperbolic model, pa...
