In present study, a mathematical model of the vehicle–floating slab track (FST) interaction is established to investigate the coupled behaviour of vehicle–track system. The FST is modelled as the double Euler -Bernoulli beam including the rail and slab. The railway vehicle is simplified as a multi-rigid-body model. The wheel–rail interface is treated using a nonlinear Hertzian contact model, co...

This paper describes a continuum model for analyzing the inelastic behavior of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in different loading conditions. Because of limitations in using molecular dynamics (and other atomic methods) to model the failure load of the SWCNT, continuum mechanics methods are considered in this paper. Based on some experimental and theoretical results, an elasto-plastic...

in this paper, we discuss the dynamical properties of a chemical reactor model including lyapunov exponents, bifurcation, stability of equilibrium and chaotic attractors as well as necessary conditions for this system to generate chaos. we study the synchronization of chemical reactors model via sliding mode control scheme. the stability of proposed method is proved by barbalate’s lemma. numeri...

In this work both experimental and numerical analysis are carried out to investigate the effect of solar radiation on the cabin air temperature of Maruti Suzuki Celerio car parked for 90 min under solar load condition. The experimental and numerical analysis encompasses on temperature increment of air at various locations ins...

One of the most important methods of soil compaction is dynamic compaction, which is one of the oldest and economical methods of soil improvement up to great depths. This method is applied due to its many benefits, including its economic procedure to correct many kinds of soil. One of the most important issues that affect soil improvement methods is being economic. The three main method...

the mechanism of flow and sediment transport in channel bend is much complex. because of secondary current, the sediment moves away from outer bank toward inner bank and therefore outer bank of the bend is one of best positions for lateral diversion. in this paper, the mechanism of sediment transport was simulated with ssiim software in the u shape channel with lateral intake. in order to verif...

A single server finite population queueing model with compulsory server vacation and with fixed batch service has been considered. For this model the system steady state probabilities are obtained. Some performance measures are calculated and numerical examples are also given.
