while significant advances have been made on the blast analysis, applications of nonlinear analysis of structures under explosion have been limited to the frames and structural behavior of bridges subjected to blast is an issue that has attracted attention of researchers in recent years. nonlinear dynamic analysis can be lead to the most accurate responses of the structure under blast but the u...

this paper describes a modified structural dynamics model for aeroelastic analysis of high-aspect-ratio wings undergoing large deformation behavior. to gain this aim, a moderate deflection beam model is modified with some important large deflection terms and then coupled with a state space unsteady aerodynamics model. finite element method is used to discretize the equations of motion. a dynami...

Thermal deformation is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon and is one of the significant factors for the accuracy of machine tools. In this study, a dynamic feed-forward neural network model is built to predict the thermal deformation of machine tool. The temperatures and thermal deformations data at present and past sampling time interval are used train the proposed neural model. Thus, it can model...

Many materials exhibit a highly nonlinear elastic behavior, such as textiles or finger flesh. An efficient way of enforcing the nonlinearity of these materials is through strain-limiting constraints, which is often the model of choice in computer graphics. Strain-limiting allows to model highly non-linear stiff materials by eliminating degrees of freedom from the computations and by enforcing a...

finding a suitable estimation of stability domain around stable equilibrium points is an important issue in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. this paper intends to apply a set of analytical-numerical methods to estimate the region of attraction for autonomous nonlinear systems. in mechanical and structural engineering, autonomous systems could be found in large deformation problems or c...

We introduce a new notion for the deformation of Gabor systems. Such deformations are in general nonlinear and, in particular, include the standard jitter error and linear deformations of phase space. With this new notion we prove a strong deformation result for Gabor frames and Gabor Riesz sequences that covers the known perturbation and deformation results. Our proof of the deformation theore...

Cartoon animation, image warping, and several other tasks in two-dimensional computer graphics reduce to the formulation of a reasonable model for planar deformation. A deformation is a map from a given shape to a new one, and its quality is determined by the type of distortion it introduces. In many applications, a desirable map is as isometric as possible. Finding such deformations, however, ...

Flexible parts comparing with rigid parts can be deformed by contact force during assembly. For successfil assembly, information about their deformation as well as possible wisalignment between matingparts is essential. However, because of the nonlinear and complex relationship between parts deformation and reaction forces, it is dificult to acquire all required information from the reaction fo...

We suggest a novel shape matching algorithm for three-dimensional surface meshes of disk or sphere topology. The method is based on the physical theory of nonlinear elasticity and can hence handle large rotations and deformations. Deformation boundary conditions that supplement the underlying equations are usually unknown. Given an initial guess, these are optimized such that the mechanical bou...

Conventional measures of model fit for indexed data (e.g., time series or spatial data) summarize errors in y, for instance by integrating (or summing) the squared difference between predicted and measured values over a range of x. We propose an approach which recognizes that errors can occur in the x-direction as well. Instead of just measuring the difference between the predictions and observ...
