Considering pseudo-Riemannian $g$-natural metrics on tangent bundles, we prove that the condition of being Ricci soliton is hereditary in sense a structure bundle gives rise to base manifold. Restricting ourselves some class metrics, show if and only manifold flat potential vector field complete lift conformal field. We give then classification fields Riemannian When unit bundles over constant ...

A finite element solution based on equevalent elements is proposed for the static and dynamic analysis of tallhigh tensioned cable antennas. To reduce high number of degrees of freedom in space frame body of a structure, a simple equivalent beam element is defined for each simulative substructure. This numerical procedure is applicable to analyze complex three dimensional assemblies of substruc...

in this paper, biharmonic slant helices are studied according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for slant helices to be biharmonic. the biharmonic slant helices arecharacterized in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give some characterizations for tangent bishop spherical images of b-slant helix. additionally, we illu...

The cold compaction of an aggregate of powder is treated from the viewpoint of crystal plasticity theory. The contacts between particles are treated as compaction planes which yield under both normal and shear straining. The hardening of each plane represents both geometric and material hardening at the contacts between particles; the macroscopic tangent stiffness can be written in terms of the...

Abstract--Simplified procedures for finite-deformation analyses of space frames, using one beam clement to model each member of the frame, are presented. Each element can undergo three-dimensional. arbitrarily large, rigid motions as well as moderately large non-rigid rotations. Bach element can withstand three moments and three forces. The nonlinear bending-stretching coupling in each element ...

A simple method to follow the postbuckling paths in the finite element analysis is presented. During a standard path-following by means of arc-length method, the signs of diagonal elements in the triangularized tangent stiffness matrix are monitored to determine the existence of singular points between two adjacent solution points on paths. A simple approach to identify limit or bifurcation poi...

background : previous studies have investigated different effects of muscle fatigue on body systems. however, there are no reports on the effect of fatigue protocol and its level on musculotendinous stiffness (mts) of the tricep-surae. this study was designed to compare the effects of 2 levels of submaximal fatigue contraction on mts of triceps-surae. methods: twenty female students by simple r...

We present a robust and computationally efficient parameter estimation strategy for fluid-structure interaction problems. The method is based on a filtering algorithm restricted to the parameter space, known as the reduced-order unscented Kalman filter. It does not require any adjoint or tangent problems. In addition, it can easily be run in parallel, which is of great interest in fluid-structu...

This paper presents a method for modeling and analysis of cablestayed bridges under the action of moving vehicles. Accurate and efficient finite elements are used for modeling the bridge structure. A beam element is adopted for modeling the girder and the pylons. Whereas, a two-node catenary cable element derived using exact analytical expressions for the elastic catenary, is adopted for modeli...

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of unidirectional carbon fiber composites with a silicone matrix, loaded transversally to the fibers. The experiments show nonlinear behavior with significant strain softening under cyclic loading. The numerical study uses a plane-strain finite element continuum model of the composite material in which the fiber distribution is based on ex...
