large panel precast structures are analyzed based on the connection rigidity. however, the connections undergo nonlinear and inelastic response, when subjected to seismic loads. thus, to study the actual behavior of structure, the connection nonlinearity should be implemented in the joints. in this paper, three conventional connection types are modeled based on the envelope of their cyclic resp...

The paper describes the hierarchy of models used in the modeling of interconnects in high-speed designs and focuses on the development of techniques needed for the high-frequency simulation of complete modules.

We propose an evolution of the hyper-connection axiomatic in order to improve the consistency of hyper-connected filters and to simplify their design. Our idea relies on the principle that the decomposition of an image into h-components must be necessary and sufficient. We propose a set of three equivalent axioms to achieve this goal. We show that an existing h-connection already fulfills these...
