Kantorovich-Vlasov Method for Simply Supported Rectangular Plates under Unifo...IJCMESJOURNAL
In this study, the Kantorovich-Vlasov method has been applied to the flexural analysis of simply supported Kirchhoff plates under transverse uniformly distributed load on the entire plate domain. Vlasov method was used to construct the coordinate functions in the x direction and the Kantorovich method was used to consider the assumed displacement field over the plate. The total potential energy functional and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations were obtained. This was solved subject to the boundary conditions to obtain the displacement field over the plate. Bending moments were then obtained using the moment curvature equations. The solutions obtained were rapidly convergent series for deflection, and bending moments. Maximum deflection and maximum bending moments occurred at the center and were also obtained as rapidly convergent series. The series were computed for varying plate aspect ratios. The results were identical with Levy-Nadai solutions for the same problem.

Glacial Lake Ontonagon and the Development of Large Scale LandslidesStan Vitton
Glacial Lake Ontonagon was one of the first pro-glacier lakes formed during the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the end of the Wisconsin Glacial period. The lake was just south of present day Lake Superior but flowed westward toward the Mississippi River due to Lake Superior still being filled with ice. The lake form significant lacustrine deposit over lying a river sand. A recent large scale landslide occurred on an ox bow of the river, with the failure being generated by soil liquefaction in the lower sand unit.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

2. In Situ & Induced Stresses
• Introduction
• In Situ Stresses
• The World Stress Map
• The White Pine Mine Stress Map
• Analysis of Induced Stresses
• Numerical Methods of Stress Analysis
• Examples of 2D Stress Analysis
3. Introduction
• Rock at depth is subjected to the following stresses:
• weight of the overlying strata
• Locked in or residual stresses of tectonic origin
• Excavating openings in rock disrupt the existing stress field and
induces a new set of stresses around the opening
4. In situ Stresses - Vertical Stresses
𝜎𝜎𝑣𝑣 = 𝛾𝛾𝛾𝛾
γ = unit weight of rock
Z = depth
5. In situ Stresses - Horizontal Stresses
• The horizontal stresses acting on an element of rock at a depth z
below the surface are much more difficult to estimate than the
vertical stresses.
• Normally, the ratio of the average horizontal stress to the vertical
stress is denoted by the letter k such that:
𝜎𝜎ℎ = 𝑘𝑘𝜎𝜎𝑣𝑣
k = coefficient of lateral earth pressure
σv = vertical stress
𝑘𝑘 =
𝜎𝜎ℎ
𝜎𝜎𝑣𝑣
or
6. In situ Stresses - Horizontal Stresses
• Terzaghi and Richart (1952) suggested that, for a gravitationally
loaded rock mass in which no lateral strain was permitted during
formation of the overlying strata, the value of k is independent of
depth and related to the rock’s Poisson's ratio.
• 𝑘𝑘 =
𝜐𝜐
1 − 𝜈𝜈
where ν = rock’s Poisson’s Ratio
• This relationship was widely used in the early days of rock mechanics
but, as discussed below, it proved to be inaccurate and is seldom
used today.
7. In situ Stresses - Horizontal Stresses
• Measurements of horizontal stresses at civil and mining sites around the
world show that the ratio k tends to be high at shallow depth and that
it decreases at depth (Brown and Hoek, 1978, Herget, 1988).
• This issue was discussed long before Brown & Hoek in 1950s.
• In order to understand the reason for these horizontal stress variations
it is necessary to consider the problem on a much larger scale than that
of a single site.
• Sheorey (1994) developed an elasto-static thermal stress model of the
earth. This model considers curvature of the crust and variation of
elastic constants, density and thermal expansion coefficients through
the crust and mantle.
8. In situ Stresses - Sheorey’s model

10. The World stress map
• World Stress Map project, completed in July 1992, involved over 30
scientists from 18 countries and was carried out under the auspices of
the International Lithosphere Project (Zoback, 1992).
• The World Stress Map (WSM) is now maintained and it has been
extended by the Geophysical Institute of Karlsruhe University as a
research project of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and
Humanities.
23. Analysis of Induced Stresses
• When an underground opening is excavated into a stressed rock
mass, the stresses in the vicinity of the new opening are re-
distributed.
• Consider the example of the stresses induced in the rock surrounding
a horizontal circular tunnel as illustrated in Figure 5, showing a
vertical slice normal to the tunnel axis.
26. Numerical methods of stress analysis
• Boundary discretization methods, in which only the boundary of the
excavation is divided into elements and the interior of the rock mass
is represented mathematically as an infinite continuum. These
methods are normally restricted to elastic analyses.
• Domain discretization methods, in which the interior of the rock
mass is divided into geometrically simple elements each with
assumed properties.
• Finite Element Method (FEM)
• Finite Element Method (FEM)
27. Boundary Element Method
• The boundary element method derives its name from the fact that
only the boundaries of the problem geometry are divided into
elements.
• Indirect (Fictitious Stress) method
• Direct method
• Displacement discontinuity method
• The differences between the first two methods are not apparent to
the program user. The direct method has certain advantages in terms
of program development, which is no longer an issue.
28. Finite element and finite difference methods
• In practice, the finite element method is usually indistinguishable
from the finite difference method.
• For the boundary element method, it was seen that conditions on a
domain boundary could be related to the state at all points
throughout the remaining rock, even to infinity.
• In comparison, the finite element method relates the conditions at a
few points within the rock (nodal points) to the state within a finite
closed region formed by these points (the element).
• In the finite element method the physical problem is modelled
numerically by dividing the entire problem region into elements.
29. Comparison Boundary and FEM
• The finite element method is well suited to solving problems involving
heterogeneous or non-linear material properties, since each element
explicitly models the response of its contained material.
• However, finite elements are not well suited to modelling infinite
boundaries, such as occur in underground excavation problems.
• Most commercially available finite element packages use implicit (i.e.
matrix) solution techniques. For linear problems and problems of moderate
non-linearity, implicit techniques tend to perform faster than explicit
solution techniques.
• However, as the degree of non-linearity of the system increases, imposed
loads must be applied in smaller increments which implies a greater
number of matrix re-formations and reductions, and hence increased
computational expense.
35. Rocscience Programs:
• RS2 – 2D finite Element Program
• RS3 – 3D Finite Element Program
• EX3 – 3D Boundary Element Program
36. Examples of two-dimensional stress analysis
• A boundary element program called EXAMINE2D is available as a free
download from www.rocscience.com. This program no longer exists!
• There is a 3D version available for $3,000.
• While this program is limited to elastic analyses it can provide a very
useful introduction for those who are not familiar with the numerical
stress analysis methods described above.
• The following examples demonstrate the use of this program to
explore some common problems in tunneling.
