Generally, the evaluation and assessment of the critical condition of rill formation are useful for a better understanding of soil erosion processes. The inherence characteristics of soils, which have much dynamic variations on the hillslopes and are affected by rill formation, are the soil critical shear stress and soil erodibility factors. This study aims to assess experimental rill incision ...

due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. in this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on gurtin-murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

the analysis of the 27al and 35cl quadrupole coupling parameters of aluminum methyl chloride dimers were carried out on the basis of the density functional theory (dft). the available experimental values of quarupole coupling constants were compared with their calculated ones. in this investigation, the correlations were made between calculated 27al and 35cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constant...

Operating system interference in parallel programs can cause tremendous performance degradation. This paper discusses the interference caused by the quiet generation of subnormal floating point values. We analyze the performance impact of subnormal values in a parallel simulation of a stress wave propagating through a three dimensional bar. The floating-point exception handling mechanisms of va...

The present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. Equations of continuity, momentum...
