In this study, earthquake resistance of Souk Tlata earth dam was examined.It corresponds to a preliminary investigation of the behaviour of the Oven dam under earthquake loading with a dominant frequency close to the fundamental frequency of the dam.The dam was modeled with plane-strain finite elements using Plaxis-2D program.The behaviour of both
Concerns about the state of decline of the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have prompted their consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act.Data suggest a substantial Boomboxes decline (> 80%) in overwintering numbers for both eastern and western monarch populations.Making an accurate status assessment is diffic
It is a difficult to accurately estimate the rotor position in a surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM), especially for low speed conditions because the back electromotive force (EMF) is almost zero.In this paper, an improved sliding mode GIFT-SET observer (SMO) with a continuous sliding mode switching function (which could reduce the c
