    Determination of the mechanical behaviour of agricultural soil by numerical simulation

    No full text
    In this work a numerical modelling of an agricultural soil by mean the soil shear stress tests simulation has been performed. A soil shearometer available on the market has been used to perform soil shear yests. A special equipment has been realized that has allowed the automated detecting of the soil shear stress

    In this report a numerical simulation of the interaction between soil and plough mouldboard has been performed by mean a 3D-free- surface model as well as a medium soil with constitutive relationship of Non-newtonian pseudo-plastic materia

    Innovation, human capital destruction and firm's in training

    We analyse the effeect of human capital obsolescence due to the introduction of technological innovations on the long-run growth rate, and show that in equilibrium the pace of technical change may be faster than is socially optimal. In such cases, the existence of market imperfections, and their costs for firms, may improve the welfare for the society as a whole. In particular, we assume that ¢rms do not have full information on workers' skills but can arrange some form of internal training that permits them to acquire the lacking information. Training costs reduce research and development investments by firms and in this way draw the market equilibrium closer to the social optimum
