Beyond empiricism: a unified physics-based framework for resonance avoidance and carbon-efficient mass optimization of machine foundations
...Show More Authors

Dynamic machine foundations can be considered as a necessary component of the industrial infrastructure. Design of the dynamic equipment foundations has, however, traditionally been grounded on a rule of thumb that is inaccurate and rigid to use at the discretion of the engineers. The conventional rule of thumb, which includes minimum weight ratios and resonance avoidance criteria, has been used singularly with two poles, which can be either conservatively designed systems that are too heavy, or systems that are going to experience too much vibration and fatigue. This paper presents a novel, analytical framework for the reinterpretation of traditional design practices, using a physics-based approach, and results in a single, unified overall performance metric: the Combined Safety Index (CSI). The method utilizes frequency-dependent soil-foundation interaction models, allowing for a systematic evaluation of both inertially related and resonantly related stability under harmonic excitations. Using large-scale validations of real-world, global operational and geotechnical data from numerous case studies, including centrifugal compressors, blowers, and horizontal equipment, the reliability of the framework was demonstrated to be high (> 97%), with greater than 97% of the simulated designs meeting CSI ≥ 1.0. In addition, the method allows for mass optimization resulting in reductions in the amount of concrete used, and thus reductions in cost and environmental impact, of up to 45%. Unlike rule-of-thumb methods, this model allows designers to make informed decisions regarding the trade-off between the amount of mass of the foundation and detuning of the operating frequency, and thus supports economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. Statistical analyses, including local and global sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification of the results, confirmed that the primary variables controlling system safety are the damping ratio (ζ) and the mass of the foundation (Wf). This work therefore provides practicing engineers with a practical, computationally efficient tool for designing safer, more sustainable foundations, and assists in advancing the state-of-the-art in design practice and in advancing digital engineering. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.

Assessment of the bypass of obturation materials beyond fractured instruments after using different obturation techniques in simulated curved canals (An in-vitro study)
...Show More Authors

This study evaluated the extent to which obturation materials bypass fractured endodontic instruments positioned in the middle and apical thirds of severely curved simulated root canals using different obturation techniques. Sixty resin blocks with simulated root canals were used, each with a 50° curvature, a 6.5 mm radius of curvature, and a length of 16.5 mm, prepared to an ISO #15 diameter and taper. Canals were shaped using ProTaper Universal files (Dentsply Maillefer) attached to an X-smart Plus endo motor (Dentsply), set at 3.5 Ncm torque and 250 rpm, up to size S2 at working length. To simulate fractures, F2 and F3 files were weakened 3 mm from the tip, then twisted to break in the apical and middle sections of the canal, re

A novel fusion-based approach for the classification of packets in wireless body area networks
...Show More Authors

This abstract focuses on the significance of wireless body area networks (WBANs) as a cutting-edge and self-governing technology, which has garnered substantial attention from researchers. The central challenge faced by WBANs revolves around upholding quality of service (QoS) within rapidly evolving sectors like healthcare. The intricate task of managing diverse traffic types with limited resources further compounds this challenge. Particularly in medical WBANs, the prioritization of vital data is crucial to ensure prompt delivery of critical information. Given the stringent requirements of these systems, any data loss or delays are untenable, necessitating the implementation of intelligent algorithms. These algorithms play a pivota

A Proposed Framework to Developing the Auditor's Reporting in Iraq in Accordance With the International Standards on Auditing
...Show More Authors

The international reporting auditor witness rapidly developed over the past years, where profession began give attention to the development of auditor reporting and improve its informational report through the issuance and amendment of some relevant international auditing standards. The reality of the situation refers to the failure to inform the auditor in Iraq in  many areas, including: Clearly defined management responsibility for the preparation of financial and auditor's responsibility to express an opinion on these statements and Amendment of opinion when the financial statements as a whole is free from material misstatement based on the evidence is sufficient and appropriate audit, or not to build the auditor's ability to obt
