This document presents, in a concise manner, different methods that have been developed for slope stability analysis. These methods are compared from the point of view of the assumptions that each of these methods uses to ...

The objective of the present work is to study the temperature dependence of the flammability limits for pure compounds, and to develop a methodology to determine these limits in air at atmospheric pressure and at different ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Enhanced Limit Method, which combines finite element and limit equilibrium analysis in slope stability studies, and to describe its use in practical geotechnical applications. ...

We have studied the quantum equivalence in the respective strong coupling limits of the bidimensional gauged Thirring model with both Schwinger and Thirring models. It is achieved following a nonperturbative quantization ...

Neste trabalho temos como principal objetivo determinar quota inferior para o número máximo de ciclos limites de um sistema diferencial polinomial de Liénard descontínuo de grau n com m zonas, para m=2,4. A principal ...
