Abstract This study investigates nonlinear modeling and verification of a reinforced concrete element using the fiber section method. At first, theory related to approach hysteresis models used for cyclic analysis is given. Then, column tested previously in literature modeled simulation results are compared with test results. An acceptable approximation made utilizing only few input parameters:...

In recent years, the trend in solving optimization problems has been directed toward using heuristic algorithms such as neural networks, genetic and ant colony algorithms. The main reason for this trend can be attributed to the fact that these algorithms can be efficiently adjusted to the specific search space to which they are applied and consequently they can be used for many optimization pro...

In this paper, a mathematical modeling is developed for plastic analysis of planar frames. To this end, the researcher tried to design an optimization model in linear format in order to solve large scale samples. The computational result of CPU time requirement is shown for different samples to prove efficiency of this method for large scale models. The fundamental concept of this model is ob...

This paper presents the participation of our group in the ImageCLEF 2012 Photo Annotation Task. Our approach is based on visual and textual features as we experiment with different strategies in order to extract the semantics inside an image. First, we construct a textual dictionary of tags using the most frequent words present in the user tag annotated images from the training data sets. A lin...

For the distribution characteristics in a slice of pathological cell image, the system transforms them into the characteristic vectores by quantization and clustering in HSV color model, it promotes the concerned isolated pixel color description into the color feature ralative to its neighborhood’s color histogram and color moments. By choosing appropriate neighborhood window size, it uses colo...

The transverse velocities of steadily rotating, non–axisymmetric patterns in flat galaxies may be determined by a purely kinematical method, using two dimensional maps of a tracer surface brightness and radial current density. The data–maps could be viewed as the zeroth and first velocity moments of the line–of–sight velocity distribution, which is the natural output of integral– field spectrog...
