Clone-and-Own is a common practice in families of software products, where parts from legacy products are reused in new developments. In industrial scenarios, CAO consumes high amounts of time and effort, not guaranteeing good results. We propose a novel approach, Computer Assisted CAO for Models (CACAO4M), that uses a MultiObjective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) with two objectives (Model Frag...

In this paper we use the symmetry reduction method to obtain invariant solutions of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in (3+1) dimensions. These equations are invariant under a Galilean-similitude Lie algebra for which the classification by conjugacy classes of r-dimensional subalgebras (1 ≤ r ≤ 4) was already known. So we restrict our study to the three-dimensional Galilean-similitude su...

A Supersonic similitude has been used to obtain stability derivatives in pitch and roll of a delta wing with straight leading edge for the attached shock case. Ghosh’s strip theory is been used in which strips at different span wise locations are independent of each other. This combines with the similitude to give a piston theory which gives the closed form of solution to stability derivatives ...

Scaled experimentation can potentially provide significant benefits such as reduced costs materials and time in testing but is afflicted by the phenomena of scale effects, where behaviour at be markedly different to that full size. The design scaled experiments presently predominantly founded on theory dimensional analysis, which itself grounded invariance dimensionless governing equations with...

An important experimental approach for the testing of earthquake-resistant structures is scaled experimentation with designs impacted upon by similitude theory dimensional analysis. Unfortunately, type provided analysis seldom applies to complex structures, which particularly problematic when scaling ratios are large. The issue one scale effects where behaviour version any full-size structure c...

Scaling laws governing the cardiovascular system of mammals are discussed in the present review in a manner emphasizing their experimental basis. Specific attention is given to the well-known experimental laws requiring the rate of oxygen consumption and the heart rate of mammals to vary with body mass raised to the powers 3/4 and -1/4, respectively. This review involves reconsideration and fur...
