In the present study, the transient stress distribution caused by a break in the fibers of an adhesive bonding is investigated. Transient stress is a dynamic response of the system to any discontinuity in the fibers from detachment time till their equilibrium state (or steady state). To derive the governing dynamic equilibrium equations shear lag model is used. Here, it is assumed that the tens...

This paper describes how the state space basis of models identi ed with subspace identi cation algorithms can be determined. It is shown that this basis is determined by the input spectrum and by user de ned input and output weightings. Through the connections between subspace identi cation and frequency weighted balancing, the state space basis of the subspace identi ed models is shown to coin...

Equilibrium selection in coordination games has generated a large literature. Kandori, Mailath and Rob [Econometrica 61 (1993) 29] and Young [Econometrica 61 (1993) 57] studied dynamic models of aggregate behaviour where agents best-respond to observations of population play. Crucially, infrequent mistakes (“mutations”) allow agents to take actions contrary to current trends and prevent initial...

21 goes up. This seems quite reasonable in a nite size system with continuous degrees of freedom since in spite of the absence of a perfectly crystalline ground state only a few conngurations of the particles are expected to really minimize the Hamiltonian. The natural next step in this analysis should consist in trying to get the behaviour of quantities averaged over diierent N values. We adva...

We consider the stability under adaptive learning dynamics of steady state equilibria in Diamond’s (1965) overlapping generations growth model with capital and money. Interior steady state equilibria of this model can be either dynamically inefficient or dynamically efficient. We show that a necessary condition for an equilibrium of this model to be stable under adaptive learning is that the eq...
