Abstract: In typical reservoir a sediment layer of considerable depth may be deposited on top of exposed bedrock foundation. The effect of sediment on the dissipation and damping of earthquake induced hydrodynamic waves is by and ...

Abstract: In visual pattern recognition, since it is generally difficult to obtain images with all the desired characteristics, researchers often reuse standard test images obtained under fixed conditions. This practice may compromise ...

Abstract: Statistics published by the Federal Highway Administration indicate that maintenance and rehabilitation of highway pavements in the United States requires an expenditure of over $17 billion a year. In conventional visual ...

Abstract: The response due to a dynamic loading of a poroviscoelastic one-dimensional column is treated analytically. Biot’s theory of poroelasticity is generalized to poroviscoelasticity using the ...

Abstract: The plane strain fundamental solution of an instantaneous and a continuous point displacement discontinuity is presented in this paper. These solutions, together with the one of a fluid source, ...

Abstract: Frenkel was a brilliant Russian physicist who made fundamental contributions to the theory of liquid, the theory of metal, the drop theory, defects in crystals, and excitons, among many other subjects in physics, astronomy, ...

Abstract: Deep learning is a state-of-the-art approach to pixel-level crack detection. However, it relies on a large number of source–target image pairs for the training, which is very expensive. This paper proposes a self-supervised ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on correlating micromorphology and nanomorphology to the performance of nano-enhanced polymers subjected to blast loading, studying the behavior of these materials at high strain rates, and evaluating ...
