This paper presents a new model updating approach for structural damage localization and quantification. Based on the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), a new damage-sensitive cost function is introduced by employing the main diagonal and anti-diagonal members of the calculated Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM) for the monitored structure and its analytical model. Then, ...

plane and mulberry trees play a crucial role in purifying the polluted air in tehran as a majorcity. in this research, 13 main districts of tehran city were chosen as study area. 20 completely healthy planeand mulberry species were selected in similar ecological conditions and age range. the uptake of cd and pbwas determined using spectrophotometry, whereas the chlorophyll content was measured ...

Some general remarks are made about the quantum theory of scalar fields and the definition of momentum in curved space. Special emphasis is given to field theory in anti-de Sitter space, as it represents a maximally symmetric space-time of constant curvature which could arise in the local description of matter interactions in the small regions of space-time. Transform space rules for evaluating...
