Location of Tension Cracks at Slope Crests in Stability Analysis of Slopes
Over the conventional limit equilibrium method and limit analysis method, the finite element method is advantageous, especially for slopes involving complex failure mechanisms where the critical slip surfaces cannot be represented by log spirals and ...

Extending a Hybrid Godunov Method for Radiation Hydrodynamics to Multiple Dimensions [PDF]
This paper presents a hybrid Godunov method for three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics. The multidimensional technique outlined in this paper is an extension of the one-dimensional method that was developed by Sekora & Stone 2009, 2010.

A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS METHODS [PDF]
One of the most common problem faced by geotechnical engineers is slope stability assessment. The predictions of slope stability in soil or rock masses is very important for the designing of reservoir dams, roads, tunnels, excavations, open pit mines ...

Accurate and efficient splitting methods for dissipative particle dynamics [PDF]
We study numerical methods for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), which is a system of stochastic differential equations and a popular stochastic momentum-conserving thermostat for simulating complex hydrodynamic behavior at mesoscales.

Ground state energies of quantum dots in high magnetic fields: A new approach [PDF]
We present a new method for calculating ground state properties of quantum dots in high magnetic fields. It takes into account the equilibrium positions of electrons in a Wigner cluster to minimize the interaction energy in the high field limit. Assuming

Stability assessment for hard anti-inclined bedded rock slopes using a limit equilibrium method
The failure mechanism of hard anti-inclined bedded rock slopes with the possibility of undergoing flexural toppling is very complex so that it is difficult to effectively perform their stability assessment.

Inelastic quantum transport: the self-consistent Born approximation and correlated electron-ion dynamics [PDF]
A dynamical method for inelastic transport simulations in nanostructures is compared with a steady-state method based on non-equilibrium Green's functions. A simplified form of the dynamical method produces, in the steady state in the weak-coupling limit,

Airy-based equilibrium mesh-free method for static limit analysis of plane problems
This paper presents a numerical procedure for lower bound limit analysis of plane problems governed by von Mises yield criterion. The stress fields are calculated based on the Airy function which is approximated using the moving least squares technique.
