Global Optimization of Stacking Sequence in a Laminated Cylindrical Shell Using Differential Quadrature Method

Based on 3-D elasticity approach, differential quadrature method (DQM) in axial direction is adopted along with Globalized Nelder–Mead (GNM) algorithm to optimize the stacking sequence of a laminated cylindrical shell. The anisotropic cylindrical shell has finite length with simply supported boundary conditions. The elasticity approach, combining the state space method and DQM is used to obtain...

A Sensitive Sequence Comparison Method

Biologists highly rely on good algorithms to find the homologous regions in bimolecular sequences. One advanced homology search program, PatternHunter, has been developed in 2002. Unlike the well-known program Blast using a consecutive model, it benefited from gapped (nonconsecutive) model to work better. By observing and analyzing some significant properties of gapped-models, we propose a new ...

A convenient Simple Method for Synthesis of Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)

Radioiodinated meta iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is one of the important radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Medicine. [123/131I]MIBG is used for imaging of Adrenal medulla, studying heart sympathetic nerves, treatment of pheochromacytoma and neuroblastoma. For clinical application, radioiodinated MIBG is prepared through isotopic exchange method, which includes replacement of radioactive iodine in a...

A Simple Method for Modeling Open Cracked Beam

Abstract A simple method is proposed to model the open cracked beam structures. In this method, crack is modeled as a beam element. Hence cracked beam can be assumed to be a beam with stepped cross sections, and problem of determining natural frequency and mode shape of cracked beam, can be solved as determining these characteristics for a beam with different length and cross section. With this...
