Numerical Simulation Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Earth Structures Using Finite Element Method., Surajit Pal Jan 1997

Numerical Simulation Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Earth Structures Using Finite Element Method., Surajit Pal

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Geosynthetics are widely used as reinforcements in various earth structures. Current design methods are based on some simplified assumptions and are primarily modified versions of limit equilibrium methods used in design of the unreinforced earth structures. All of these design methods are conservative and result in uneconomical design. The best method for verifying the design assumptions and studying the stress-deformation behavior of geosynthetic reinforced earth structures is by constructing a series of large scale test walls with adequate instrumentation and collecting data from them. But the cost involved in such a scheme precludes undertaking this kind of study. Thus Numerical …


Ab Initio Elasticity Of Three High-Pressure Polymorphs Of Silica, Bijaya B. Karki, Lars Stixrude, Jason Crain Jan 1997

Ab Initio Elasticity Of Three High-Pressure Polymorphs Of Silica, Bijaya B. Karki, Lars Stixrude, Jason Crain

Faculty Publications

Full elastic constant tensors of three high-pressure polymorphs of silica: stishovite, CaCl -type and columbite-type (α-PbO structure); are determined at lower mantle pressures from first-principles using the plane wave pseudopotential method within the local density approximation. The calculated zero pressure athermal elastic moduli are within a few percent of the experiments. We find that the elastic properties of silica are strongly pressure dependent. The shear wave velocity decreases rapidly (by 60 %) and the anisotropy increases rapidly (by a factor of five) between 40 and 47 GPa prior to the transition from stishovite to the CaCl structure at 47 GPa. …


Variational Methods, Bounds, And Size Effects For Composites With Highly Conducting Interface, Robert Lipton Jan 1997

Variational Methods, Bounds, And Size Effects For Composites With Highly Conducting Interface, Robert Lipton

Faculty Publications

New variational principles are developed for the effective conductivity tensor for anisotropic two-phase electric conductors. Here the interface between phases is assumed to be highly conducting. Extra geometric information is encoded into the principles through the solution operators of simpler transport problems. These operators can be expressed as gradients of simple layer potentials with densities supported on phase interfaces or in terms of simple Dirichlet problems inside each phase region. New upper bounds on the effective conductivity are found that depend upon component volume fractions, a surface energy tensor and a scale-free matrix of parameters. This matrix corresponds to the …


Reciprocal Relations, Bounds, And Size Effects For Composites With Highly Conducting Interface, Robert Lipton Jan 1997

Reciprocal Relations, Bounds, And Size Effects For Composites With Highly Conducting Interface, Robert Lipton

Faculty Publications

We provide a reciprocal relation linking the effective conductivity of a composite with highly conducting phase interfaces to that of a composite with the same phase geometry but with an electrical contact resistance at phase interfaces. A field relationship linking the electric field inside a composite with highly conducting phase interfaces to the current in a composite with contact resistance between phases is found. New size effects exhibited by isotropic particulate suspensions with highly conducting interface are obtained. The effective properties of periodic composites are shown to be monotonically increasing as the size of the period cell tends to zero. …

Three-Species Monomer-Monomer Model: A Mean-Field Analysis And Monte Carlo Study, Kevin E. Bassler, Dana A. Browne Jan 1997

Three-Species Monomer-Monomer Model: A Mean-Field Analysis And Monte Carlo Study, Kevin E. Bassler, Dana A. Browne

Faculty Publications

We study the phase diagram and critical behavior of a one-dimensional three-species monomer-monomer catalytic surface reaction model. Static Monte Carlo simulations are used to roughly map out the phase diagram consisting of a reactive steady state bordered by three equivalent unreactive phases where the surface is saturated with one monomer species. The transitions from the reactive phase are all continuous, while the transitions between poisoned phases are first order. Of particular interest are the bicritical points where the reactive phase simultaneously meets two poisoned phases. A mean-field cluster analysis fails to predict all of the qualitative features of the phase …


Mean-Field Analysis And Monte Carlo Study Of An Interacting Two-Species Reaction Model, K. S. Brown, K. E. Bassler, D. A. Browne Jan 1997

Mean-Field Analysis And Monte Carlo Study Of An Interacting Two-Species Reaction Model, K. S. Brown, K. E. Bassler, D. A. Browne

Faculty Publications

We study the phase diagram and critical behavior of an interacting one-dimensional two-species monomer-monomer catalytic surface reaction model with a reactive phase as well as two equivalent adsorbing phases where one of the species saturates the system. The model depends on two parameters: the relative adsorption rates of the two species and a repulsive interaction between like neighbors. A mean-field analysis including correlations up to triplets of sites fails to reproduce the phase diagram found by Monte Carlo simulations. The three phases coexist at a bicritical point whose critical behavior is described by the even branching annihilating random-walk universality class. …


A Construction Of Representations Of Affine Weyl Groups, D. S. Sage Jan 1997

A Construction Of Representations Of Affine Weyl Groups, D. S. Sage

Faculty Publications

Let G be a complex, semisimple, simply connected algebraic group with Lie algebra g. We extend scalars to the power series field in one variable C((π)), and consider the space of Iwahori subalgebras containing a fixed nil-elliptic element of g ⊗ C((π)), i.e. fixed point varieties on the full affine flag manifold. We define representations of the affine Weyl group in the homology of these varieties, generalizing Kazhdan and Lusztig's topological construction of Springer's representations to the affine context.


Does The Jones Polynomial Detect Unknottedness?, Oliver T. Dasbach, Stefan Hougardy Jan 1997

Does The Jones Polynomial Detect Unknottedness?, Oliver T. Dasbach, Stefan Hougardy

Faculty Publications

There have been many attempts to settle the question whether there exist nontrivial knots with trivial Jonespolynomial. In this paper we show that such a knot must have crossing number at least 18. Furthermore we give the number of prime alternating knots and an upper bound for the number of prime knots up to 17 crossings. We also compute the number of different HOMFLY, Jonesand Alexander polynomials for knots up to 15 crossings. © A K Peters, Ltd.

The first on-line tests of the ion sources to provide radioactive ion beams of 69,70As and 17,18F for the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility have been performed using the UNISOR facility at HRIBF. For 70As the measured efficiency is 0.8 ± 0.3% with a hold-up time of 3.6 ± 0.3 h as measured with 72As at a target temperature of 1270°C. For 17F the efficiency for Al17F is 0.0024 ± 0.0008% with a hold-up time of 16.4 ± 0.8 m as measured with Al18F at a target temperature of 1470°C.
