This work considers the problem of modeling visco-elastically coupled rigid bodies, with application to modeling and computer simulation of spatial, flexural mechanisms. Two modeling methods are presented, both of which use elements of screw theory and dual number calculus. The potential utility of the methods is demonstrated by simulating the behavior of a complex spatial, flexural mechanism. ...

YANG -the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Data Modeling Language -supports modeling of a tree of data elements that represent the configuration and runtime status of a particular network element managed via NETCONF. This memo suggests enhancing YANG with supplementary modeling features and language abstractions with the aim to improve the model extensibility and reuse.

Hardened nickel coating is widely used in many industrial applications and manufacturing processes because of its benefits in improving the corrosion fatigue life. It is clear that increasing the coating thickness provides good protection against corrosion. However, it reduces the fatigue life. Thus, applying a thin layer of coated nickel might give an acceptable corrosion protection with minim...

Multimedia computer systems are required to store, retrieve, and communicate objects comprised of mixed data types including images, text, and voice. An important aspect of multimedia systems is the integration of elements retrieved from databases distributed across a network. Integration of object components requires consideration of the temporal characteristics of multimedia elements. We prop...

Object process (modeling) Methodology (OPM) Provides a Collaborative modeling environment that can fit and relies on generic modeling OPM, a holistic,bi-modal textual visual approach to the study and development of systems, integrates the object – oriented and process oriented paradigms into a single frame. These refine abstract Mechanism combines with characteristics, makes OPM ideal for proce...

Manger ou se nourrir, occupe une place fondamentale dans l’ensemble des actes sociaux les plus ordinaires. C’est même un marquage social déterminant qui touche à domaines comme l’identité, l’altérité, la culture, l’art, religion. Ainsi, manger rue, lorsqu’on est personne sans-abri, oblige réflexion redéfinit anthropolog...

We present a volumetric iso-geometric finite element analysis based on Catmull-Clark solids. This concept allows one to use the same representation for the modeling, the physical simulation, and the visualization, which optimizes the design process and narrows the gap between CAD and CAE. In our method the boundary of the solid model is a Catmull-Clark surface with optional corners and creases ...
