TMSim_Consol
2021-06-04
Implemented in GoldSim, TMSim_Consol uses an explicit finite difference method to calculate the void ratio at each time step. Excess pore pressure and effective stress in each layer are then derived from void ratio. In addition to the specific gravity (Gs) and geometric properties of the deposit,...

Jibran, Wania, Hogan, James D., McDonald, André
In this study, a 33 full factorial design methodology was used to analyze the effects of spray parameters on the thickness, hardness, and surface porosity of low-pressure cold-sprayed WC-17Ni coatings. Three levels were selected for the spray parameters included in the design which were the...

Tradeoffs Between Forestry Resource and Conservation Values Under Alternate Forest Policy Regimes: A Spatial Analysis of the Western Canadian Boreal Plains
Download2007
Cumming, Steve, Jagodzinski, Robert, Weber, Marian, Schmiegelow, Fiona, Adamowicz, Wiktor, Hauer, Grant
An important element of resource management and conservation is an understanding of the tradeoffs between marketed products such as timber and measures of environmental quality such as biodiversity. In this paper, we develop an integrated economic -- ecological spatial optimization model. The...

Electricity is an essential part of our daily life which can be supplied by power systems with fossil fuels or renewable energy sources. Nowadays, traditional power systems are evolving towards new smart grid with the development of advanced information and communication technology. Compared with...

Unsaturated Flow Model
2019-06-06
Xiaochuan Tony Zheng, Tony Zheng
The un-saturated flow sub-model is based on a previously developed infiltration-drainage model. This research improves the original model by adding capabilities of handling dynamic boundary conditions and inter-layer overflow mechanisms. Additional validation cases are conducted to build...

Pavements in cold regions are prone to frost damages during winter as a result of prolong sever below zero temperature. Frost heave can negatively affect the performance and ride quality of the road. At the end of the frost season, when thawing begins in the sublayers, pore water pressure builds...

Oftentimes, machine learning applications using neural networks involve solving discrete optimization problems, such as in pruning, parameter-isolation-based continual learning and training of binary networks. Still, these discrete problems are combinatorial in nature and are also not amenable to...
