Comparison of Fuzzy and ANN models performance for monthly flow forecast using short time data [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2010 Regarding the bottom outlet gates, the optimal hydraulic design to ensure non-occurrence of destructive vibrations is very important. Forces inserted into the gates due to the flow with high hydrostatic pressure under the gates may cause creation of ...

Soil-Structure Interaction in Nonlinear Soil [PDF]
, 2009 A two-dimensional (2-D) model of a building supported by a semi-circular flexible foundation embedded in nonlinear soil is analyzed. The building, the foundation, and the soil have different physical properties. The model is excited by a half-sine SH wave pulse, which travels toward the foundation.
