Let A and B be n × m matrices. The matrix B is said to be g-row majorized (respectively g-column majorized) by A, if every row (respectively column) of B, is g-majorized by the corresponding row (respectively column) of A. In this paper all kinds of g-majorization are studied on Mn,m, and the possible structure of their linear preservers will be found. Also all linear operators T : Mn,m ---> Mn...

There has been a rapid advancement in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology in the past decade and its application in structural monitoring has been the focus of several research projects. The evaluation of the newly developed hardware platform and software system is an important aspect of such research efforts. Although much of this evaluation is done in the laboratories and using generic s...

This paper describes an experimental investigation into the influence of beam reinforcement detailing, column axial load and shear on joint strength reinforced concrete external beam-column connections. A series twelve specimens were tested in three groups four specimens. Series 1 investigated anchorage type bend radius. 2 studied while 3 intermediate bars reinforcement. The presents results co...

In order to investigate the seismic performance of prestressed concrete rocking frame (PCRF), a theoretical model based on rigid body is established for one-story single-span PCRF. The PCRF studied in this paper has connecting interfaces set at column feet and inner faces beam–column joints, allowing columns be uplifted with accompanying separation interface rotation beam around interface. tend...

A new plastic hinge integration method overcomes the problems with nonobjective response caused by strain-softening behavior in force-based beam–column finite elements. The integration method uses the common concept of a plastic hinge length in a numerically consistent manner. The method, derived from the Gauss–Radau quadrature rule, integrates deformations over specified plastic hinge lengths ...
