Elementary Structural Analysis and Design

response articles: micro and macro analysis

the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to cr...

Structural and Dynamic Restrictions of Elementary Object Systems

Elementary object systems (Eos for short) are Petri nets in which tokens may be Petri nets again. Originally proposed by Valk for a two levelled structure, the formalism was later generalised for arbitrary nesting structures. However, even if restricted to a nesting depth of two, Eos are Turingcomplete and thus many problems like reachability and liveness are undecidable for them. Nonetheless, ...

Optimization Design and Structural Dynamic Analysis of Cycling

In this paper, the research object is the cycling equipment which is a common fitness equipment. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were optimized in a virtual prototype, and analysis was carried out on its structural mechanical characteristics and dynamic performance, etc. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were obtained through modal, random response and ha...

Geometric Considerations of Plasticity in Structural Concrete Analysis and Design

The shift, provoked perhaps by a world war involving air raids, away from a linear elastic idealisation of material performance in structural analytical methods to one of perfect plasticity inspired research in many countries but the pioneering research in Cambridge and Copenhagen continues to stand out as a landmark. Such methods have been embraced by the designer for reasons of simplicity and...
