the aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the soil- foundation- structure interaction (sfsi) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on asce 41-06 standard. to this end, the beam on the nonlinear winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. at first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...

Every frame in Hilbert space contains a subsequence equivalent to an orthogonal basis. If a frame is n-dimensional then this sub-sequence has length (1 − ε)n. On the other hand, there is a frame which does not contain bases with brackets.

Recently Flanagan [1] has argued that the Palatini form of 1/R gravity is ruled out by experiments such as electron-electron scattering. His argument involves adding minimally coupled fermions in the Jordan frame and transforming to the Einstein frame. This produces additional terms that are ruled out experimentally. Here I argue that this conclusion is false. It is well known that conformally ...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between refractive error as measured by autorefraction and that measured by trial frame refraction among a sample of adults with vision impairment seen in a university-based low-vision clinic and to determine if autorefraction might be a suitable replacement for trial frame refraction. METHODS A retrospective chart review of all new patients 19 years or o...

The dynamic behavior of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is studied based on the flexibly connected space-frame model which was proposed to simulate the static elastic properties of SWCNTs by the authors previously. The frequencies of SWCNTs with the clamped-free and clamped-clamped boundary conditions and the different ratios of length to diameter are computed. The resulting frequen...

Although traditional per-phase equivalent circuit has been widely used in steady-state analysis and design of induction motors, it is not appropriate to predict dynamic performance of the motor. In order to understand and analyze vector control of induction motors, the dynamic model is necessary. Unfortunately, the dynamic model equations are complex and there are many different forms of the mo...
