in this paper, the capabilities of modeling linear viscoelasticty in a finite element method software package (comsol multiphysics) have been investigated. the governing equations of linear viscoelasticity have been developed for 2d cases of plane stress and plane strain. these equations have been verified by solving a related engineering example. since the developed equations are suitable for ...

Throughout our study of the enumeration of plane partitions we make use of bijective proofs to find generating functions. In particular, we consider bounded plane partitions, symmetric plane partitions and weak reverse plane partitions. Using the combinatorial interpretations of Schur functions in relation to semistandard Young tableaux, we rely on the properties of symmetric functions. In our ...

In a transport network scenario, Data Plane connections controlled by either a Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Control Plane (Soft Permanent Connections SPC) or a Management System (Permanent Connections PC) may independently coexist. The ability of transforming an existing PC into an SPC and vice versa -without actually affecting Data Plane traffic being carried over it -is a...

This work presents the design and implementation of an optical transparent IP/WDM network testbed. The implemented software allows the characterization of the transport, control and management planes of the network. Furthermore, it was developed a graphic user network interface for the client/management relation in the optical network. We adopted a centralized the control and management planes,...

Abstract This document specifies an ATM-based protocol for communication between ST2+ agents. The ST2+ over ATM protocol supports the matching of one hop in an ST2+ tree-structure stream with one ATM connection. In this docu...

purpose: this study aimed to assess the effect of boston brace on trunk muscles length as well as lower limbs and trunk range of motion in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. methods: five patients with idiopathic scoliosis with c shape curve and mean (sd) age, height, and weight of respectively 12.61(1.16) years, 1.53(0.08) m, and 35.6(6.1) kg participated in this study. spatiotemporal paramet...
