2.5D multizone reproduction using weighted mode matching: Performance analysis and experimental validation

OPTIMUM WEIGHTED MODE COMBINATION FOR NONLINEAR STATIC ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES

In recent years some multi-mode pushover procedures taking into account higher mode effects, have been proposed. The responses of considered modes are combined by the quadratic combination rules, while using the elastic modal combination rules in the inelastic phases is not valid. Here, an optimum weighted mode combination method for nonlinear static analysis is presented. Genetic algorithm is ...

On-Site Experimental Validation of a Coupled Multizone and CFD Model for Building Contaminant Transport Simulations

Previous studies indicated that the coupling of multizone and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models can provide a good compromise between the accuracy and required computation time. The results show that the coupled model predicts contaminant distribution more accurately than multizone model alone for the zones close to the contaminant source location. For all other zones, the multizone mod...

Property Matching and Weighted Matching

In many pattern matching applications the text has some properties attached to various of its parts. Pattern Matching with Properties (Property Matching, for short), involves a string matching between the pattern and the text, and the requirement that the text part satisfies some property. Some immediate examples come from molecular biology where it has long been a practice to consider special ...

FPGA implementation and experimental evaluation of a multizone network cache

Network routers rely on content addressable memories (CAMs) to accelerate the process of looking up the next hop of a packet. The input for this lookup is the destination address of the packet. This article describes our implementation and evaluation of a versatile prototype for a CAM. This prototype allows the empirical evaluation of the idea of caching lookup results in a multizone cache orga...
