Prediction of Depth-Induced Stress Distribution and Maintenance Cost Implications for Submerged Structural Components
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of water depth on stress distribution and structural integrity of submerged mechanical components . Structural models fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper alloy were examined under hydrostatic loading corresponding to water depths between 30 cm and 150 cm. Results indicate that normal and shear stresses increased proportionally with depth due to intensified hydrostatic pressure. Mild steel exhibited the highest stress concentrations, …

A Review on: Cotard’s Syndrome
Abstract: Cotard’s Syndrome is a rare and severe mental health condition characterized by nihilistic delusions, in which individuals firmly believe that they are dead, no longer exist, or that parts of their body are decaying or missing. These beliefs are not symbolic or metaphorical but are experienced as absolute truths, making the disorder particularly distressing and difficult to manage. The syndrome is most commonly observed in association with major depressive disorder, …
