pushover analysis is a simplified nonlinear analysis technique that can be used to estimate the dynamic demands imposed on a structure under earthquake excitations. one of the first steps taken in this approximate solution is to assess the maximum roof displacement, known as target displacement, using the base shear versus roof displacement diagram. that could be done by the so-called dynamic p...

We determine the quantum phase diagram of the Hubbard chain with electron-hole symmetric correlated hopping at 1/2and 1/4-filling using geometric concepts and continuum limit field theory. The long distance behavior of various correlation functions show a very rich phase diagram with several insulating, metallic, and superconducting phases, which might be relevant to (TMTSF)2X compounds. The cl...

Received: June 12, 2017 Revised: October 24, 2017 Accepted: November 03, 2017 Abstract: Background and Objective: Prestressed high strength concrete pipe pile (PHC) shows brittle fracture when subjected to more than its own bearing capacity. Therefore, the non-prestressed steel bar is added to the PHC pipe pile, that is, the mixed reinforced pipe pile (PRC). The mechanical behavior of PRC group...

Consider a standing wave in a stretched string. As we proceed horizontally along the string, the vertical displacement (or amplitude) of the wave increases in one direction, passes through a maximum, decreases to zero and then increases in the opposite direction. The places where the amplitude is zero are called nodes. The nodes lie on a plane called the nodal plane (which lies perpendicular to...

Using an interface displacement model we calculate the shapes of thin liquidlike films adsorbed on flat substrates containing a chemical stripe. We determine the entire phase diagram of morphological phase transitions in these films as function of temperature, undersaturation, and stripe width.

2014 Geometrical aspects of Kossel diagrams obtained in light diffraction experiments are considered. Using a computer, orthogonal projections of spherical Kossel diagrams are drawn for b.c.c. and f.c.c. crystals of different densities. Theoretical diagrams are compared with the experimental results.

Most natural deformation involves simultaneous discrete deformation (e.g. faults) and distributed deformation (e.g. penetrative strain). In order to properly understand the bulk kinematics of a given deformation, the discrete and distributed components must be evaluated simultaneously. The displacement diagram method has previously been utilized to quantify strain accommodated by faults or othe...

Abstract The effect of contact load and relative displacement on tribo-corrosion interaction parallel steel wires main cable in the suspension bridge was investigated this study. A self-made test bench employed to conduct tests 3.5% (wt%) NaCl solution deionized water under different loads displacements. friction coefficient wear were presented. Electrochemical corrosion behavior (Tafel polariz...

Based on Discontinuous Molecular Dynamics (DMD) simulations we present a phase diagram of twodimensional nano-particles with dipole-like short-ranged interactions. Similar to systems with true, long-ranged dipolar interactions the present system undergoes a transition from an isotropic fluid phase into a polymer-like fluid, characterized by an association of most particles into clusters. Furthe...
