ABSTRACT: A prismatic beam made of a behaviorally nonlinear material situated on nonlinear elastic foundation is analyzed under a moving harmonic load moving with a known velocity. The vibration equation of motion    is derived using Hamilton principle and Euler Lagrange equation. The amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam can be calculat...

This paper presents for the first time a closed-form solution of dynamic response sigmoid bidirectional functionally graded (SBDFG) microbeams under moving harmonic load and thermal environmental conditions. The formulation is established in context modified couple stress theory to integrate effects microstructure. On basis elasticity theory, nonclassical governing equations are derived by usin...

A method has been developed for preparing load models for power flow and stability. The load modeling (LOADMOD) computer software transforms data on load class mix, composition, and characteristics into the from required for commonly–used power flow and transient stability simulation programs. Typical default data have been developed for load composition and characteristics. This paper defines ...

In this paper, the performance of MIP at different moving speeds is evaluated on an emulation testbed. The emulation result shows that current MIP protocol is not suitable for rapid moving environments. This paper depicts the relationship between the performance and the moving speed and breaks down the handoff latency of MIP. A speed adaptive MIP protocol extension is proposed and implemented o...

This paper proposes a method to estimate position of a small moving object. It is difficult to fit dynamic model of a target object moving fast and anomalously. We focuses on a phenomenon that a high-velocity moving object is observed as a line-shaped region in captured images by motion blur. Shapefrom-silhouette technique is applied to estimate the 3D trajectory of the observed lines. We choos...

Occurrence of top down and bottom up fatigue cracking in asphaltic pavements is common. Conventional pavement analysis methods ignore the existence of cracks in asphaltic layers. However, it seems that the responses of cracked pavement would not be the same as a pavement without crack. This paper describes effects of crack type, position and length, and vehicles tire inflation pressure and axle...

We present an approach to the problem of load balancing on networks of nodes. Our approach is inspired by the phenomenon of negative chemotaxis in living systems. We use a diffusing signal (which is emitted by load, and moves faster than the load) to guide the movement of load towards the balanced state. Our reference system (for comparison) is unguided, diffusing load, moving at the same speed...
