This paper introduces the foundations of a new mechanical level of detail method dedicated to knitted fabric simulation. This method consists as a reduction of the knitted cloth parameters number, decreasing the configurations space dimension of the studied cloth. We stress the importance of the choice of an efficient parameters reduction function in order to make the method usable. The consequ...

Convergence studies for the static analysis of thin plates resting on Pasternak foundations is performed. The are discretized using two different finite elements, formulations which based Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin plate theories. shear locking problem arises when full integration used in element implementation theory eliminated with selective integration. foundation accounted by adding par...

A coupled-line circuit structure is proposed in this paper to design a modified Schiffman phase shifter with short reference line. Based on the traditional transmission line theory and ABCD parameters, closed-form mathematical equations for electrical and scattering parameters are obtained. Obviously, this proposed coupled-line phase shifter has several advantages such as arbitrary phase differ...
