a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

The roof slab of the nuclear reactor supports all components and sub-systems. Roof needs to resist seismic loads in accordance with load-carrying criteria. static stress analysis reveals that high-stress concentration was present pump penetration shell (PPS) which primary sodium pump. This paper presents assessment collapse load optimization shell, through reliability approach, accounting for m...

We study non-Gaussianity induced by a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson with a cosine-type scalar potential. We focus on how the non-Gaussianity is affected when the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson rolls down from near the top of the scalar potential where the deviation from a quadratic potential is large. We find that the resultant non-Gaussianity is similar to that obtained in the quadratic potential...
