Abstract—A finite element procedure for three-dimensional adaptive trusses using shape memory alloys is formulated in the present study, in which the extended form of Brinson’s constitutive equation considering asymmetric tensile and compressive behavior is expressed in a tangentially incremental form. The validity of the present computational modeling is demonstrated by conducting numerical st...

Applying spectral dynamics methods to one typical N -body model with a barlens, we dissect the modelled bar into separate components supported by completely different types of orbits. We identify at least four components: narrow elongated bar, boxy and two contributing barlens. analyse vertical structure all that make up thick part which has boxy/peanut shape (B/P bulge). show ‘peanut’ is mainl...

By looking at the pseudoscalar-vector meson spectra in $\bar{B}\to J/\psi \rho\bar{K}$ and \bar{K}^*\pi$ weak decays, we theoretically investigate double-pole structure of $K_1(1270)$ resonance by using Chiral Unitary approach to account for final state interactions between pseudoscalar vector mesons. The appears as dynamically generated through these coupled channels influence shape invariant ...

Vegetation was added to a fully developed sandy point bar in the meander of a constructed stream. Significant changes in the flow structure and bed topography were observed. As expected, the addition of vegetative resistance decreased the depth-averaged streamwise velocity over the bar and increased it in the open region. In addition, the secondary circulation increased in strength but became c...

‎Let $tau$ be a subgroup functor and $H$ a $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$‎. ‎Let $bar{G}=G/H_{G}$ and $bar{H}=H/H_{G}$‎. ‎We say that $H$ is $Phi$-$tau$-quasinormal in $G$ if for some $S$-quasinormal subgroup $bar{T}$ of $bar{G}$ and some $tau$-subgroup $bar{S}$ of $bar{G}$ contained in $bar{H}$‎, ‎$bar{H}bar{T}$ is $S$-quasinormal in $bar{G}$ and $bar{H}capbar{T}leq bar{S}Phi(bar{H})$‎. ‎I...

car body lightening and crashworthiness are two important objectives of car design. due to their excellent performance, composite materials are extensively used in the car industries. in addition, reducing the weight of vehicle is effective in decreasing the fuel consumption. hat shape energy absorber is used in car’s doors for side impact protection. the aim of these numerical models and exper...

Normalization of case data 2 The bottom right of Figure 1 shows a bar plot of the cumulative sum, for each age, of all 3 laboratory-confirmed pH1N1 in 2009; it does not take the age structure of the population 4 into account. We investigated the potential effects of age structure on the shape of the bar 5 plot. Figure 5 compares the total incidence across age (panel a) with per capita incidence...

When two video frames are alternated at the appropriate rate, one with a central bar and the other with two flanking bars, the central bar becomes invisible. Competing explanations for this standing wave illusion are examined, with the results showing an influence of higher level shape representations on lower level edge processes. In Experiment 1, flanking bar duration was found to be more imp...
