An anchored sheet wall is commonly used in retaining deep excavations. Anchor force is one of the critical design parameters in practice. Based on the kinematical admissible failure mechanism, a limit analysis approach to determine the anchor force is presented. The explicit formula for the anchor force is given, which makes it easy to calculate using a simple calculation program such as MS Off...

in this paper, the deep drawing process of tailor welded blanks is simulated using the finite element modelling and verified using the experimental results available in the literature. then the effect of die and material properties on the welding line movement is investigated. it is seen that the most effective material parameters on weld line movement are different between sheet metal thicknes...

slope stability is one of the major and determiner parameters in the economy and safety of open pit mines. failure and consequently rupture of the slope caused no compensable economic and humanity losses. so, probability assessment of the further failure for presentation of damages and additional costs is of prime importance. in this research, stability analysis and probability assessment of th...

In the present paper, discrete element method (DEM) is used to study wave propagation phenomenon in granular soils. The effect of factors such as coefficient of friction, frequency, normal stiffness and soil gradation on the wave velocity is studied. Using the wall motion based on the sinusoidal function is the method of loading used in this simulation, through which the pressure wave is transf...

An analysis is suggested to study the impact of Hall currents in Jeffrey fluid which is chemically reactive through a porous medium limited by a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate within the existence of heat generation. An evenly distributed magnetic field turns vertically on the porous surface which absorbs the Jeffrey fluid with a changed suction velocity with time. The analytical expres...

the galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar newtonian and power-law model non-newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. the governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. to accelerate convergence a combinat...

The overall object of this paper is a systematic study of gaseous flows and thermal transport in twodimensional microand nano-channels using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. In the flow study, a validation of DSMC code was conducted by simulating a continuum flow in microchannel and the results show that the discrepancy of friction coefficient from theoretical prediction is well bel...

The problems of exact state reconstruction and approximate state estimation based on wall information in a wall-bounded incompressible unsteady flow are addressed. It is shown that, if in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of time t precise measurements are made of the two components of wall skin friction and the wall pressure, all terms in the Taylor-series expansions of the unsteady flow state...

This study examines the possibility of orthotropic porous medium whose streamwise permeability is larger than wall-normal to reduce turbulent friction inspired by recent numerical studies Rosti et al. (2018); G´omez-de Segura and Garc´ıa-Mayoral (2019). Because (2019) used Brinkman equation approximate flow in media, it uncertain that such media really friction. We make a layered medium, which ...
