Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel-Support Interaction Through a Probabilistic ApproachPierpaolo OresteThe analysis of the behavior of a tunnel requires the evaluation of numerous parameters, relative to the ground and the support structure and which are generally only known with a certain degree of approximation. The uncertainty of these parameters is reflected on the results of the calculation, that is, on the state of stress in the support structure. In order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Determination of the Tunnel Structure Loads Through the Analysis of the Interaction between the Void and the Support Using the Convergence-Confinement MethodPierpaolo OresteThe evaluation of the load acting on a tunnel support is of fundamental importance for the correct dimensioning of the structure when analytical calculation methods are used. The load acting on the support depends on various factors and for this reason its evaluation can appear somewhat complex. One way of evaluating the load acting on a support is to use … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Application of Turbulence Models in the Calculation of Supersonic Gas JetIlina Ekaterina Evgenevna, Ilina Tamara Evgenevna, Bulat Pavel ViktorovichThis article considers the adequacy of the usage of various two-parameter differential turbulence models for the calculation of supersonic non-calculative (overexpanded and underexpanded) gas jet flowing into the environment that have a pressure equal to atmospheric. A brief historical background on the development of methods for calculating turbulent supersonic jet, which contain developed shock wave structures, is given. For each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLUSTER BASED DUPLICATE DETECTIONA. Venkatesh Kumar, S. VengataasalamWe propose a clustering technique for entropy based text dis-similarity calculation of de-duplication system. Improve the quality of grouping; in this study we propose a Multi-Level Group Detection (MLGD) algorithm which produces a most accurate group with most closely related object using Alternative Decision Tree (ADT) technique. Our propose a two new algorithm; first one is Multi-Level Group Detection (MLGD) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2013 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Gravity Field of a CubeJames Michael Chappell, Mark John Chappell, Azhar Iqbal, Derek AbbottWe calculate the Newtonian gravitational potential and field of a cubic, homogeneous asteroid and we apply it to the orbit of possible satellites. Large astronomical objects such as stars or planets, naturally tend to form spherical shapes due to the dominance of the gravitational forces, but as a thought experiment, we consider the properties of a planet in the form … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2013 · 15,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultilevel Evaluation of Coulomb Lattice Sums of Charge SystemsV. Ilyin, A. Brandt, I. SuwanProblem statement: Due to the long range nature of interactions of the N-body systems, direct computation of the Coulomb potential energy involves O(N2) operations. To decrease such complexity, a simple Multilevel Summation method has been developed. Approach: In the frame of the Multilevel Summation method, the two-body interaction is decomposed into two parts: a local part and a smooth part. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2012 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Wear of Tunnel Boring Machine Excavation Tools in RockClaudio Oggeri, Pierpaolo OresteSome of the most important aspects in the study of the fragmentation of rock due to the action of TBM disks concern the abrasiveness of the rock and the wear of the tools. The wear of the disks in fact means that they have to be substituted, with consequent effects on the efficiency of the excavation, on the speed of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Aug 2012 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Runner Design of Francis Turbine using Computational Fluid DynamicsSuthep Kaewnai, Somchai WongwisesProblem statement: The objective of this study is to improve runner design of the Francis turbine and analyze its performance with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Approach: A runner design process uses a direct method with the following design conditions: flow rate of 3.12m3/sec head of 46.4 m and speed of 750 rpm or dimensionless specific speed of 0.472. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
