The paper presents analyses of deformations and stress of the circular rotationally symmetric tanks. The reinforced concrete tanks – water reservoirs – resting on elastic subsoil have been analyzed. The elastic subsoil has been modeled using three basic subsoil models: half-space model, two-parametric model and one-parametric (Winkler) subsoil model. Particular modifications have been applied to the basic models which yield in seven models presented. The cylindrical tank has been analyzed in the interaction with the subsoil, while the elastic subsoil has been characterized by different parameters. The differences in modeling using individual calculation models have been highlighted. The results from analytical and numerical solutions have been presented and compared in graphs and tables. The method for the calculation of settlement of the circular foundation plate was verified experimentally. The settlement of the circular plate was measured while the silo was fully loaded by its contents. The experimentally obtained values have been compared with the calculation results. In the conclusion the recommendations for the suitable model subsoil for these types of structures have been presented.

The study of pollution movement is an important basis for solving water quality problems, which is of vital importance in almost every country. This research proposes the motion of flowing pollution by using a mathematical model in one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation which includes terms of decay and enlargement process. We are assuming an added pollutant sources along the river in two cases: uniformly and exponentially increasing terms. The unsteady state analytical solutions are obtained by using the Laplace transformation, and the finite difference technique is utilized for numerical solutions. Solutions are compared by relative error values. The result appears acceptable between the analytical and numerical solutions. Varying the value of the rate of pollutant addition along the river (q) and the arbitrary constant of exponential pollution source term (λ) is displayed to explain the behavior of the incremental concentration. It is shown that the concentration increases as q and λ increase, and the exponentially increasing pollution source is a suitable model for the behavior of incremental pollution along the river. The results are presented and discussed graphically. This work can be applied to other physical situations described by advection-dispersion phenomena which are affected by the increase of those source concentrations.

In the soil environment,through analyzing the numerical solutions of pollutant migration, the time-space law of the transmission of organic pollutants in soil can be mastered, which has both theoretical and practical significance. The general mathematical model of the migration of volatile pollutant in soil was established; and typical models of pollution sources emission were calculated, and the influence of various parameters in model on calculation results were compared, such as diffusion, convection, adsorption and degradation parameters; finally a correlation analysis and discussion was made on calculation results of the pollutant concentration distribution. The calculation results show that the convection is the main reason causing pollutants migration, and the influence of volatility to migration process cannot be ignored. It provides the scientific basis and approach for the pollution forecasting and prevention.

Abstract The paper presents detailed analysis of the case – a construction of deep excavation of metro station in Warsaw. Basing on this example, the great impact of the accuracy of the geotechnical investigation on the static analysis of diaphragm walls is discussed. Geotechnical studies for the construction of the central section of the second metro line were carried out in stages. Basic geotechnical soil investigation took place in the first stage of investment process, e.g. building permit and tender design stages in 2003–2004, 2007 and 2010. In subsequent years, complementary soil investigations have been performed by the contractor, and the results occurred to differ significantly. In the first part of the paper detailed description of the case is introduced. The geological conditions in the area of the station and the interpretation of the results of the three successive stages of geotechnical investigation are presented. As a result, two locations were selected with a great diversity of the soil profile depending on the stage of investigation. For each location, detailed, multiple static analysis of diaphragm walls were performed, taking into account changes in the soil profile. In the paper, one selected location is described in detail. The discussion of calculation results for this location in relation to the changing geotechnical data is presented and final conclusions are provided.

In the fields of fluid dynamics and mechanical engineering, most nanofluids are generally not linear in character, and the fractional order model is the most suitable model for representing such phenomena rather than other traditional approaches. The forced convection fractional order boundary layer flow comprising single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with variable wall temperatures passing over a needle was examined. The numerical solutions for the similarity equations were obtained for the integer and fractional values by applying the Adams-type predictor corrector method. A comparison of the SWCNTs and MWCNTs for the classical and fractional schemes was investigated. The classical and fractional order impact of the physical parameters such as skin fraction and Nusselt number are presented physically and numerically. It was observed that the impact of the physical parameters over the momentum and thermal boundary layers in the classical model were limited; however, while utilizing the fractional model, the impact of the parameters varied at different intervals.

<p>Wave fields generated by tropical cyclones (TC) are of strong interest for marine engineering, navigation safety, determination of coastal sea levels and coastal erosion. Considerable efforts have been made to improve knowledge about the surface waves in TC, both from measurements and numerical experiments. Full sophisticated spectral wave models certainly have the capability to provide detailed wave information, but they require large computer power, precise well-resolved surface winds and/or needs to consider large ensembles of solutions. In this context, more simplified but robust solutions are demanded.</p><p>This work is based on 2D-parametric model of waves evolution forced by wind field varying in space and time, non-linear wave interactions and wave breaking dissipation [submitted to J. Geoph. Res., see also preprint DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10504620.1]. Numerical solutions of model provide efficient visualization on how waves develop under TC and leave it as swell. Superposition of wave-rays exhibits coherent spatial patterns of wave parameters depending on TC characteristics, - maximal wind speed (um), radius (Rm), and translation velocity (V).</p><p>In this presentation we demonstrate how solutions of 2D-parametric model can be described analytically through self-similar functionsusing proper scaling involving the main TC parameters: um, Rm, and V. These self-similar solutions can be treated as TC-wave Geophysical Model Function (TC-wave GMF), to help analytically derive azimuthal-radial distributions of the primary wave system parameters (SWH, wavelength, direction) under TC characterized by arbitrary sets of um, Rm and V conditions. Self-similar solutions describe the main properties of wave field under TC, in particular: right-to-left half asymmetry of wave field under TC; strong dependence of wave energy and wavelength on V, um and Rm caused by group velocity resonance; division of TCs on “slow” and “fast” when TC-induced waves outrun TC and form wake of swell trailing TC.</p><p>Comparisons between self-similar solutions and measurements of TC-generated waves reported in the literature, demonstrate excellent agreement to warrant their use for research and practical applications.</p><p>The core support for this work was provided by the Russian Science Foundation through the Project №21-47-00038 at RSHU.

Currently dampers based on magnetorheological (MR) fluids are being used in many applications such as construction, biomechanical and semi-active suspension to improve their behaviour. The main advantage of MR dampers is its very low time response (≈ 10 ms). In many cases, it is necessary to establish a suitable model of MR damper which characterizes its behaviour so that this model can be used in the simulation stage. In this paper, a new non-parametric model is proposed based on neural networks using a recursive lazy learning to model the MR damper behaviour. The proposed method is validated by comparison with experimental obtained responses. Results show that the estimated model correlates very well with the data obtained experimentally and learns quickly.

This study deals with a new method for the free vibration analysis of beams under different boundary conditions. We show that it is possible to apply a static approach for solving free vibration systems, i.e., we obtain natural frequencies for free vibration of beams by analyzing static beam bending problems. Specifically, the basic governing equation for beams with harmonic loadings and resting on an elastic foundation is solved and the solutions are used directly to yield the beam free vibration solutions. In the free vibration analysis, the natural frequency can be a real number or an imaginary number while in the static analysis, the foundation stiffness can be either positive or negative. We show that one can solve the deflection of a beam subjected to a given concentrated force and subsequently deduce the possible infinite deflection when the stiffness becomes zero or negative. In such cases, there exists an equivalent relationship between the free vibration frequencies and the negative stiffness. Consequently, determining the natural frequencies becomes a problem of determining an appropriate negative foundation elastic constant. In general, the numerical vibration solutions can be obtained by analyzing the relationship between loadings and frequencies. For comparison, a comparison with the classical free vibration solutions is presented and excellent agreement is illustrated. We further show that this static approach for free vibration solutions has a clear edge over the classical free vibration approach in computational beam vibration solutions. Very accurate and convergent numerical solutions can be obtained using a very simple numerical solution method. This static approach for free vibration problems can be extended for plate, shell and other structural systems.

One way to find out the quality of exam questions is by looking at the rules for writing exam questions made based on the subject or discussion contained in the learning plan document. Therefore, the exam questions that are arranged must be adjusted to the main material in each subject learning achievement. This study discusses the implementation of the concept in information retrieval systems using the Vector Space Model method. The Vector Space Model method has an advantage in query matching because it is able to match only part of the query with existing documents. In addition, the Vector Space Model method is also easy to adapt by adjusting parameters, including weighting parameters. The weighting calculation for each term that appears in the document uses TF-IDF. The purpose of this study is to design an information retrieval system to find the suitability of the exam question query with the subject contained in the learning plan document. The suitability is sorted based on the similarity value of the calculation results, from the largest value to the smallest value in the form of a percentage.
