The Global Magnetorotational Instability (MRI) is investigated for a configuration in which the rotation frequency changes only in a narrow transition region. If the vertical wavelength of the unstable mode is of the same order or smaller than the width of this region, the growth rates can differ significantly from those given by a local analysis. In addition, the non-axisymmetric spectrum admi...

stretching process of sheet metals in both cases of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric is analyzed. a rigid-plastic, normal anisotrop material is assumed and large strain formulation is applied. triangular elements are used and stiffness equations of elements are obtained from virtual work principle. these nonlinear equations are linearized by newton-raphsons method and are solved by gaussian el...

The present experiment investigates whether patterns of shifts of feature locations could affect the same/different decisions of simultaneously presented pairs of geometrical figures. A shift of locations was defined as the angular distance from the location of a feature in one figure to the location of the same feature in another figure. It was hypothesized that the difficulty in discriminatin...

In previous work stable approximately axisymmetric equilibrium configurations for magnetic stars were found by numerical simulation. Here I investigate the conditions under which more complex, non-axisymmetric configurations can form. I present numerical simulations of the formation of stable equilibria from turbulent initial conditions and demonstrate the existence of non-axisymmetric equilibr...

mechanical properties of non-split pistachio nuts are among the lada required for the design of equipment needed for processing of the nut. unsplit pistachio nut samples were uniaxially loaded to determine the nut’s needed splitting force and energy, as well as poisson’s ratio and young’s modulus of elasticity. the tests were carried out at four moisture contents (5, 10, 15 and 20% wb), under f...

BEl-rt's reciprocal theorem is used to determine the normal displacements due to a normal point force at the plane surface o fa generally-anisotropic half-space or a transversely-isotropic general elastic foundation, using a state of plane sinusoidal loading as auxiliary solution. The method is also extended to give a dual integral equation formulation of the axisymmetric contact problem for an...

We study the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the entire three-dimensional space under the assumption that the data are axisymmetric. We extend the regularity criterion for axisymmetric weak solutions given in [10].
