Primarily, two models are commonly used to describe rocking of rigid bodies; the Housner model, and the Winkler foundation model. The first deals with the motion of a rigid block rocking about its base corners on a rigid foundation. The second deals with the motion of a rigid block rocking and bouncing on a flexible foundation of distributed linear springs and dashpots (Winkler foundation). The...

Over the last years, time-efficient approaches for the discovery of links between knowledge bases have been regarded as a key requirement towards implementing the idea of a Data Web. Thus, efficient and effective measures for comparing the labels of resources are central to facilitate the discovery of links between datasets on the Web of Data as well as their integration and fusion. We present ...

Mapping ontologies is a crucial process when facilitating system interoperability and information exchange. Ontology Mapping systems commonly utilize string metrics in the mapping process to compare concept names. String metrics can be extended using the Winkler method, which increases the similarity value of two strings if these have a common prefix. A common occurrence for two corresponding o...

A recently published revision of the absorption cocfficienLs for oxygen in water has prompted a reinvestigation of the subject by a new microgasometric technique. A known volume of gas-free water (approximately 1 ml) was brought into contact with oxygen at constant pressure and temperature. The oxygen uptake and the amount of water were measured with a micrometer burette. The results obtained a...

In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

This paper describes new set covering algorithms associated with the DISCRETE edit system. DISCRETE is based on the Fellegi-Holt model (JASA 1976) of editing. A new implicit-edit generation algorithm replaces algorithms of Garfinkel, Kunnathur, and Liepins (Operations Research 1986) and Winkler (1995). The new set-covering algorithms correctly generate implicit edits for large subclasses and re...

Abstract Variational principles and variationally consistent boundary conditions are derived for a system of double Rayleigh beams undergoing vibrations subject to axial loads. The elastic layer connecting the modelled as three-parameter nonlinear Winkler–Pasternak with Winkler having linear components Pasternak only component. forced freely vibrating beam using semi-inverse approach. Hamilton’...
