In modern elastic systems, an important task is to predict changes in load processes. Estimating the change rate helps adapt system structure advance maintain quality of user experience. solutions, little attention paid analysis which directly affects how far it necessary turn nodes on or off from computing process. most cases, these trigger intervals are set pre-set static values. order determ...

A fundamental problem with a large class of image registration techniques is that the estimated transformation from image A to B does not equal the inverse of the estimated transform from B to A. This inconsistency is a result of the matching criteria’s inability to uniquely describe the correspondences between two images. This paper seeks to overcome this limitation by jointly estimating the t...

The elastic properties of uniform polycrystalline materials without defects depend on both the constitutive properties of the constituents and the microstructural characteristics like the distribution of grain orientations and grain shapes. For an overview concerning the homogenization of elastic properties see, e.g., [1]. The elementary bounds by Voigt and Reuss take into account only the volu...

Edward J. Nicolson and Ronald S. Fearing Department of EE&CS University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract A linear elastic plane strain model for a cylindrical nger with a solid core and elastic surface is developed. This model is used to determine the subsurface strain impulse responses as well as pressure distributions in the contact region for indentation of the cylinder by rigid obj...

Seismically isolated bridges with inverted T-cap beams are not investigated in depth until now. Elastic response spectrum analysis is typically preferred in design of bridges. In this study, it has been demonstrated that elastic response spectrum analysis may not be the right analysis tool to design bridges with inverted T cap beams since pounding effects are ignored. Pier design forces determi...

We present an analysis of the instabilities engendered by van der Waals forces in bilayer systems composed of a soft elastic film (<10 microm) and a thin (<100 nm) viscous liquid film. We consider two configurations of such systems: (a) Confined bilayers, where the bilayer is sandwiched between two rigid substrates, and (b) free bilayers, where the viscous film is sandwiched between a rigid sub...
