Semi-solid materials undergo strain localization and shear band formation as a result of granular nature of semi-solid deformation. In the present study, to analyze the shear localization, a unified viscoplastic constitutive model was developed for the homogeneous flow. Then, a linearized analysis of the stability performed by examining the necessary condition for the perturbation growth. For t...

Faculty of Science School of Computing Sciences Doctor of Philosophy by Khaled S. Alotaibi Recent advances in the field of data mining have led to major concerns about privacy. Sharing data with external parties for analysis puts private information at risk. The original data are often perturbed before external release to protect private information. However, data perturbation can decrease the ...

A review of perturbation diagnostics applied to microwave resonant cavity discharges is presented. The classical microwave perturbation technique examines the shift in the resonant frequency and cavity quality factor of the resonant cavity caused by low-electron density discharges. However, the modifications presented allow the analysis to be applied to discharges with electron densities beyond...

This paper relates the singular perturbation approximation technique for model reduction to the direct truncation technique if the system model to be reduced is stable, minimal, and internally balanced. It shows that these two methods constitute two fully compatible model reduction techniques for a continuous-time system, and both methods yield a stable, minimal, and internally balanced reduced...

A new algorithm is presented for solving Troesch’s problem. The numerical scheme based on the sinc-collocation technique is deduced. The equation is reduced to systems of nonlinear algebraic equations. Some numerical experiments are made. Compared with the modified homotopy perturbation technique (MHP), the variational iteration method and the Adomian decomposition method. It is shown that the ...

The importance of lattice gauge field interpolation for our recent non-perturbative formulation of chiral gauge theory is emphasized. We illustrate how the requisite properties are satisfied by our recent four-dimensional non-abelian interpolation scheme, by going through the simpler case of U (1) gauge fields in two dimensions.

In order to the second order Cauchy problem (CP2): x"(t) Ax(t), z(O) z E D(A"), z"(O) y D(A") on a Banach space, Arendt and Kellermann recently introduced the integrated cosine function. This paper is concerned with its basic theory, which contain some properties, perturbation and approximation theorems, the relationship to analytic integrated semigroups, interpolation and extrapolation theorems.

The purpose of this study was to investigate univariate relationships between perceived dysphonia and variation in pitch perturbation, amplitude perturbation, and additive noise. A time-domain, pitch-synchronous synthesis technique was used to generate sustained vowels varying in each of the three acoustic dimensions. A panel of trained listeners provided direct magnitude estimates of roughness...

In this paper, Elzaki Homotopy Perturbation Method is employed for solving linear and nonlinear differential equations with a variable coffecient. This method is a combination of Elzaki transform and Homotopy Perturbation Method. The aim of using Elzaki transform is to overcome the deficiencies that mainly caused by unsatised conditions in some semi-analytical methods such as Homotopy Perturbat...

in this paper, first a new homotopy perturbation method for solving a fractional order nonlinear telegraph equation is introduced. by applying the proposed method, the nonlinear equation is translated to linear equations for per iteration of homotopy perturbation method. then, the obtained problems are solved with separation method. in the examples, it is illustrated that the exact solution is ...
