We developed a three-dimensional finite-difference codes which can simulate the fully triaxial induction tool in a stratified, cross-bedded anisotropic formation. The sensitivity of the fully triaxial induction measurements in cross-bedded anisotropic formation is studied for the first time. The results show that the tensor measurements are sensitive to the formation resistivity anisotropy, for...

Shear yielding of glassy polymers is usually described in terms of the pressure-dependent Tresca or von Mises yield criteria. We test these criteria against molecular dynamics simulations of deformation in amorphous polymer glasses under triaxial loading conditions that are difficult to realize in experiments. Difficulties and ambiguities in extending several standard definitions of the yield p...

The true shapes of the globular clusters (GCs) in M 31 have been derived from observed ellipticities. The nonparametric kernel estimates for the axis ratios distributions in the case of oblate or prolate spheroid hypothesis and the parametric estimates in the case of triaxial ellipsoid hypothesis have been used. The cluster shapes are inconsistent with the oblate/prolate hypothesis and only the...

SYNOPSIS Results of unconsolidated-undrained triaxial tests, field vane shear tests and cone penetration tests have been used to develop correlations between undrained shear strength and cone resistance for a soft to medium alluvial clay in the Lopez Canyon area of San Diego. When comparing uu triaxial results with cone resistance, the average cone factor was 11 with a standard deviation of 1.5...

We demonstrate that the nuclei of galaxies containing supermassive black holes can be triaxial in shape. Schwarzschild’s method was first used to construct self-consistent orbital superpositions representing nuclei with axis ratios of 1 : 0.79 : 0.5 and containing a central point mass representing a black hole. Two different density laws were considered, ρ ∝ r−γ , γ = {1, 2}. Only non-chaotic o...

We have constructed fully self-consistent models of triaxial galaxies with central density cusps. The triaxial generalizations of Dehnen's (1993) spherical mass models are presented, which have densities that vary as r −γ near the center and r −4 at large radii. We computed libraries of ∼ 7000 orbits in each of two triaxial models with γ = 1 (" weak cusp ") and γ = 2 (" strong cusp "); these tw...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and acceleration of postural sway in the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (CTSIB) by using a triaxial accelerometer for quantitative assessment. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-seven stroke patients participated in this study. Balance ability was evaluated with the BBS, and po...

Triaxial induction tools are used to evaluate fractured and lowresistivity reservoirs composed of thinly laminated sand-shale sequences. Thinly laminated and fractured reservoirs demonstrate transversely isotropic or fully anisotropic biaxial anisotropic electrical properties. Compared to the number of studies on transverse isotropy, relatively little work covers biaxial anisotropy because of t...

This paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities that are performed using bodyworn miniature inertial and magnetic sensors. The classification techniques implemented and compared in this study are: Bayesian decision making (BDM), the least-squares method (LSM), the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN), dynamic time warping (DTW), support vector ...
