This study proposed a framework of optimal design for flexible cable dome structures based on progressive collapse resistance. First, quantitative evaluation method nonlinear robustness control theory to reflect the structural resistance was proposed. Second, an actual engineering structure used as case evaluate effects parameters robustness. Finally, genetic algorithm optimisation further opti...

Purpose : Finite element modeling (FEM) of the stress-strain state five-storey frame building with girderless floors and basement caused by progressive collapse. Methodology FEM is performed in MicroFe software removal medium column using limit equilibrium theory. Development three-dimensional model on a rigid base. Research findings It shown that collapse impossible after experimental building.

Posttraumatic delayed vertebral collapse, known as Kummell's disease, is increasing in number of patients. This disease is already progressive kyphosis due to vertebral collapse at the time of diagnosis and it causes intractable pain or neurologic deficit due to intravertebral instability. Treatment is very difficult after progression of the disease, and the range of treatment, in hospital day,...

This article proposes an progressive-collapse mechanism for suspended-dome structures subjected to cable rupture, based on experimental and finite element results. The anti-collapse can be succinctly described as a node-buckling mechanism: the potential node buckling in local arch-like spatial grid centered unsupported directly determines whether progressive collapse will occur overall structur...

This paper details the first publicly available implementation of progressive mesh compression algorithm described in entitled "Compressed Progressive Meshes" [R. Pajarola and J. Rossignac, IEEE Transactions on Visualization Computer Graphics, 6 (2000), pp. 79-93]. Our is generic, modular, includes several improvements stopping criteria final encoding. Given an input 2-manifold triangle mesh, i...

The indications for collapse therapy in the treatment of tuberculosis, simply stated, are—an active pulmonary lesion. Collapse therapy has come to the front as the most effective treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and ahead of the older measures of rest, fresh air, diet, and climatic change. There is little difference of opinion about the effectiveness of collapse therapy as determined by clin...
