Discrete Element Modeling on Mechanical Behavior of Heterogeneous Rock Containing X-Shaped Fissure under Uniaxial Compression by Ming Chen, Jian Liu, Zhengyong Xie, Jianjun Liu, Xunjian Hu, Bingyang Li, Yue Cen

“…The failure mode was mainly split along the axial direction, and the failure surface started from the tips of the fissure and extended to both ends of models. (5) The uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus increased exponentially with the increase of the homogeneity factor. When the homogeneity factor was small, the microcracks were more evenly distributed in the models; when the homogeneity factor was large, the microcracks were mainly concentrated at the tips of the fissure in the models. …”

The Monotonicity Results for the Ratio of Certain Mixed Means and Their Applications by Zhen-Hang Yang

“…We continue to adopt notations and methods used in the papers illustrated by Yang (2009, 2010) to investigate the monotonicity properties of the ratio of mixed two-parameter homogeneous means. As consequences of our results, the monotonicity properties of four ratios of mixed Stolarsky means are presented, which generalize certain known results, and some known and new inequalities of ratios of means are established.…”

Invariant f-structures on the flag manifolds SO(n)/SO(2)×SO(n−3) by Vitaly V. Balashchenko, Anna Sakovich

“…We consider manifolds of oriented flags SO(n)/SO(2)×SO(n−3)(n≥4) as 4- and 6-symmetric spaces and indicate characteristic conditions for invariant Riemannian metrics under which the canonical f-structures on these homogeneous Φ-spaces belong to the classes Kill f, NKf, and G1f of generalized Hermitian geometry.…”
