the spline finite strip method (s.f.s.m.) for buckling analysis of plates and plate assemblies subjected to longitudinal compression and bending, transverse compression as well as shear is described. the method allows for the boundary conditions. local buckling coefficients of plates with different boundary conditions under compression, bending and shear are calculated. convergence studies with...

introduction: one of the most common syndromes in parkinson's disease (pd) is rigidity. currently, an index is used to evaluate the level of pd by the clinical measurement of rigidity in the upper extremity. the index uses a subjective method called unified parkinson's disease rating system (updrs). the subjective nature of this method makes the influence of physician in the measureme...

Francis Flanagan Wake Forest University Abstract I introduce a general many-to-one matching framework which includes the matching with contracts model as well as models of matching with preferences over colleagues as special cases. I show that this general model can be embedded into the model with contracts, thus the models are equivalent, and all results from the many-to-one matching with pref...

In this paper we study the performance of a symplectic numerical integrator based on the splitting method. This method is applied to a subtle problem i.e. higher order resonance of the elastic pendulum. In order to numerically study the phase space of the elastic pendulum at higher order resonance, a numerical integrator which preserves qualitative features after long integration times is neede...

This paper introduces a method to selectively reduce large time-reversed focal events to provide the potential to illuminate smaller events which have been masked by the larger one. The method is demonstrated for two elastic wave pulses emitted simultaneously from two spatially separated sources. The method improves upon the spatial resolution abilities of time reversed acoustics in nondestruct...

We present a new real-time method that can animate a moving elastic object that could collide with other objects in a virtual environment. For simulating physical motions of elastic objects, we exploit a Boundary Element Method (BEM), which can achieve efficient computations and desired deformation as opposed to spring models and a Finite Element Method. In case that real-time processes are req...
