Mechanism and modelling of shallow soil slope stability during high intensity and short duration rainfall
(Sharif University of Technology, 2011-12)Shallow landslides in nearly saturated uncohesive to slightly cohesive soils are triggered by high intensity, short duration rainfall which infiltrates into soil and changes intergranular friction and effective stresses. ... -
Micromechanical modelling of size effects in microforming
(Elsevier, 2017)This paper deals with the micromechanical modelling of the size dependent mechanical response of polycrystalline metallic materials at micron scale through a strain gradient crystal plasticity framework. The model is ... -
Mode-I fracture toughness of carbon fiber/epoxy composites interleaved by aramid nonwoven veils
(Techno-Press, 2019)In this study, carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites were interleaved with aramid nonwoven veils with an areal weight density of 8.5 g/m(2) to improve their Mode-I fracture toughness. The control and aramid interleaved ... -
Modeling deficit irrigation in alfalfa production
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995-11)A conceptual agronomic model EPIC was extended to consider the effects of salinity in alfalfa production under optimal and water stress irrigation conditions. The extended model was calibrated and validated with observed ... -
Modeling freight distribution using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2004-06)Studies about freight distribution modeling are limited due to the limitations in data availability. Existing studies in this subject, generally either use the conventional gravity models or the regression based models as ... -
Modeling of seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer of Karaburun Peninsula, western Turkey
(Springer, 2017-11)Seawater intrusion is a major problem to freshwater resources especially in coastal areas where fresh groundwater is surrounded and could be easily influenced by seawater. This study presents the development of a conceptual ... -
Modeling pollutant transport in overland flow over non-planar and non-homogenous infiltrating surfaces
(Zhejiang University Press, 2013-02)Pollutant transport in overland flow over surfaces with spatially varying microtopography, roughness, and infiltration was investigated using the diffusion wave equation and transport rate-based equation. The finite volume ... -
Modeling two-dimensional erosion process over infiltrating surfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001-05)The physics-based modeling of the rainfall-runoff induced erosion process is accomplished. The existing one-dimensional erosion process equations are extended to two dimensions and kinematic wave approximation is used. The ... -
Modeling water stress effect on soil salinity
(Springer, 2011)As it is widely known the earth is experiencing a climate change. The primary effect of this change is the increase trend in global temperature. This, in turn, results in increased number of events in flooding, and drought ... -
Modelling sediment transport from bare rilled hillslopes by areally averaged transport equations
(Elsevier, 2007-06)Treating the dynamics of sediment transport as two-dimensional on interrill-areas and as one-dimensional in rill sections, areally averaged sheet sediment transport equations are developed. The two-dimensional sheet sediment ... -
Modern optimization methods in water resources planning, engineering and management
(Springer, 2017-08)Mathematical (analytical, numerical and optimization) models are employed in many disciplines including the water resources planning, engineering and management. These models can vary from a simple black-box model to a ... -
Modification of carbon fibre/epoxy composites by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based electrospun nanofibres
(Adcotec Ltd., 2016)In this study, the effects of modifying interlaminar region of unidirectional carbon fibre/epoxy composites by the incorporation of electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibres were investigated. PVA nanofibres were ... -
A modified fiber-reinforced plastics concrete interface bond-slip law for shear-strengthened RC elements under cyclic loading
(Wiley, 2016-12-01)The objective of this article is to realistically analyze fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) retrofitted reinforced concrete structures under cyclic loading taking into account FRP–concrete bond-slip law with cyclic bond ... -
Naturally occurring arsenic in terrestrial geothermal systems of western Anatolia, Turkey: Potential role in contamination of freshwater resources
(Elsevier, 2013-11)Arsenic (As) contamination in terrestrial geothermal systems has been identified in many countries worldwide. Concentrations higher than 0.01mg/L are detrimental to human health. We examined potential consequences for As ... -
Nonlinear finite element modeling of reinforced concrete structures under impact loads
(American Concrete Institute, 2009-09)The methods available in the literature for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to impact loads generally exhibit some deficiencies in aspects relating to applicability, practicality, and accuracy. ... -
A novel planar scissor structure transforming between concave and convex configurations
(WIT Press, 2017-06)In this paper, a novel two-dimensional scissor structure that transforms between concave and convex configurations is presented. The structure is designed by a method of assembling kite or anti-kite loops in the flat ... -
Numerical model for biaxial earthquake response of reinforced concrete
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-05)A numerical constitutive model is developed to simulate the biaxial nonlinear flexural response of slender reinforced concrete members subjected to earthquake excitation. The model is tested using data from two types of ... -
Numerical model for sediment transport over nonplanar, nonhomogeneous surfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004-01)Sediment transport on surfaces with spatially variable microtopography, roughness, and infiltration was investigated using the diffusion wave equation. An implicit finite-difference scheme together with multivariate Newton's ... -
Numerical modeling of transport processes at hillslope scale accounting for local physical features
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011-01-01)Hillslope is the basic unit of a watershed. Typical hillslopes may have a size of 1000 m long and 500 m wide. For watershed modeling, it is essential to accurately describe the illslope-scale processes of flow, erosion and ...
