Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...

e have developed a new spring force law which can be used in bead-spring chain models of the orm-like chain. The bead-spring chain has no bending potentials between the springs, and so iffers from the current models only in the functional form of the force law. This new model can ccurately represent a chain that contains many persistence lengths even if each spring represents nly a few persiste...

Spring-like leg behavior is found in both humans and animals when running. In a spring-mass model, running proves to be self-stable in terms of external perturbations or variations in leg properties (for example, landing angle). However, biological limbs are not made of springs, rather, they consist of segments where spring-like behavior can be localized at the joint level. Here, we use a two-s...

On account of having real-time behavior and being easy to implement, spring meshes have been used for modeling deformable objects. Determining spring stiffness parameters for simulation of soft objects with high accuracy still remains a challenge. Allen Van Gelder derived an approximate formula for determining spring stiffness parameters based on strain analysis. Even though the experimental re...

Spring is the most popular application development framework for enterprise Java. Millions of developers around the world use Spring Framework to create high performing, easily testable, reusable code. Spring framework is an open source Java platform and it was initially written by Rod Johnson and was first released under the Apache 2.0 license in June 2003. Spring is lightweight when it comes ...

Tourism in hot spring areas has been popular in Taiwan recently. However, hot spring resources are limited and scarce, so it is important to use hot spring resources effectively and appropriately, and study hot spring industrial symbiosis and industry chain. Therefore, the study constructs a hot spring industrial park model through ecological viewpoint. PDCA cycle is adopted to install the oper...

In this work, a four-dimensional lattice spring model is developed for studying the mechanical responses of solids. Our results indicate that the Poisson's ratio limitation of the classical lattice spring model defined in three-dimensional space can be released by introducing an extra fourth-dimensional interaction. The fourth-dimensional lattice spring model adopts central interactions only, a...

In this paper, we present a novel deformable model for soft tissue simulation in a real-time manner. The innovative model consists of two submodels: the surface one and the internal one, which are based on Mass-Spring system and Medial Representation respectively. This proposed model is more accurate and efficient than the pure surface Mass-Spring one by taking advantages of Medial Representati...
