Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

The monopole singularity string, infinite direct line in the rest reference frame, is considered as a rigid physical line, and behavior of its geometrical form under the Lorentz transformations is studied. The method to test the form of any rigid line or surface in relativistical terms is based on the use of light signals emitted from the origin of the reference frame. Influence of the motion o...

We present a method for a structural simulation of destructible 3-dimensional metal frame buildings at interactive frame rates. Beams, floor slabs, and wall sections are simulated as rigid bodies and joined together by rigid constraints. Each constraint is given a set of breaking thresholds for the force and torque around each axis, allowing them to fail if the structure is overloaded or damage...

This paper focuses on three research questions which are connected with combinations of modal logics: (i) Under which conditions can (frame-)completeness (and related properties) be transferred from a propositional modal logic (PML) to its quantificational counterpart (QML)? (ii) Does (frame-) completeness generally transfer from monomodal QMLs to their multimodal combination? (iii) Can complet...

In this dissertation I address the problem of visual recognition of non rigid objects I introduce the frame alignment approach to recognition and illustrate it in two types of non rigid objects contour textures and elongated exible objects Frame alignment is based on matching stored models to images and has three stages rst a frame curve and a corresponding object are computed in the image Seco...
