  • It is proved that if for each n, $1\leqp_n\leq2 \;and \;the(p_n, p’_n)$ Clarkson inequality holds in each Banach space X$_{n}$ then the (t, t’) Clarkson inequality holds in ($\sum^\infty_{n=1}\; X_n)_r, \;the \ell^r-sum \;of\; X_n’s,\; where\; 1\leqr<\infty,\; t=min{p, r, r’} \;and \;p = \;inf{p_n}.$ The (p, p’) Clarkson inequality is preserved by quotient maps and a new proof of a Takahashi-Kato theorem stating that the (p, p’) Clarkson inequality holds in a Banach space X if and only if it holds in its dual space $X_*$ is given.n.

  • This paper describes the application of a novel virtual prototyping methodology to wind turbine blade design. Numeric modelling data and experimental data about turbine blade geometry and structural/dynamical behaviour are combined to obtain an affordable digital twin model useful in reducing the undesirable uncertainties during the entire turbine lifecycle. Moreover, this model can be used to track and predict blade structural changes, due for example to structural damage, and to assess its remaining life. A new interactive and recursive process is proposed. It includes CAD geometry generation and finite element analyses, combined with experimental data gathered from the structural testing of a new generation wind turbine blade. The goal of the research is to show how the unique features of a complex wind turbine blade are considered in the virtual model updating process, fully exploiting the computational capabilities available to the designer in modern engineering. A composite Sandia National Laboratories Blade System Design Study (BSDS) turbine blade is used to exemplify the proposed process. Static, modal and fatigue experimental testing are conducted at Clarkson University Blade Test Facility. A digital model was created and updated to conform to all the information available from experimental testing. When an updated virtual digital model is available the performance of the blade during operation can be assessed with higher confidence.

  • Based on the transfer matrix approach and integral transforms, a solution method is developed for the stress analysis of axisymmetrically loaded transversely isotropic elastic media with generalized interlayer and support conditions. Transfer functions (Green's functions in the transformed domain) are obtained in explicit integral form. For several problems of practical interest with different loading and support conditions, solutions are worked out in detail. For the inversion operation, an efficient technique is introduced to remedy the slow convergence of numerical integrals involving oscillating functions. Several illustrative examples are considered and numerical results are presented.

  • 금년(1999년) 6월 미국 미시간주에 사는 Nayan Hajratwala라는 사람은 2,098,960자리의 소수 $2^{6,972,593}$-1을 발견하였다. 이 소수는 인간이 발견한 소수 중 처음으로 백만자리를 넘는 소수로, 작년에 Clarkson(당시 만 19세)이 발견한 909,526 자리의 소수 $2^{3,021,377}$-1보다 자리수에서 두 배도 더 된다. 현재 백만자리 이하의 모든 메르센 수의 소수성은 검증이 되었다. Spence가 1997년에 발견한 소수$2^{2,976,221}$-1은 36번째의 메르센 소수로 판명되었고, 작년에 Clarkson이 발견한 소수 $2^{3,021,377}$-1은 37번째의 메르센 소수로 판명되었다. 백만자리까지는 모두 37개의 메르센 소수가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 백만자리를 넘는 메르센 수 중에 이번에 발견한 소수보다 작은 소수가 있는지는 아직 모른다.

  • Using a reference slurry, ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS), an anionic and environmentally friendly surfactant, was investigated as an alternative to BTA for its inhibition and lubrication characteristics. Results demonstrated that the inhibition efficiency of ADS was superior to that of BTA. Coefficient of friction (COF) was the lowest when the slurry contained ADS. This suggested that adsorbed ADS on the surface provided lubricating action thereby reducing the wear between the contacting surfaces. Temperature results were consistent with the COF and removal rate data. ADS showed the lowest temperature rise again confirming the softening effect of the adsorbed surfactant layer and less energy dissipation due to friction. Spectral analysis of shear force showed that increasing the pad-wafer sliding velocity at constant wafer pressure shifted the high frequency spectral peaks to lower frequencies while increasing the variance of the frictional force. Addition of ADS reduced the fluctuating component of the shear force and the extent of the pre-existing stick-slip phenomena caused by the kinematics of the process and collision event between pad asperities with the wafer. By contrast, in the case of BTA, there were no such observed benefits but instead undesirable effects were seen at some polishing conditions. This work underscored the importance of real-time force spectroscopy in elucidating the adsorption, lubrication and inhibition of additives in slurries in CMP.

  • Low-power radio frequency (RF) chip transceiver technology and the associated structural health monitoring platforms have matured recently to enable high-rate, lossless transmission of measurement data across large-scale sensor networks. The intrinsic value of these advanced capabilities is the allowance for high-quality, rapid operational modal analysis of in-service structures using distributed accelerometers to experimentally characterize the dynamic response. From the analysis afforded through these dynamic data sets, structural identification techniques can then be utilized to develop a well calibrated finite element (FE) model of the structure for baseline development, extended analytical structural evaluation, and load response assessment. This paper presents a case study in which operational modal analysis is performed on a three-span prestressed reinforced concrete bridge using a wireless sensor network. The low-power wireless platform deployed supported a high-rate, lossless transmission protocol enabling real-time remote acquisition of the vibration response as recorded by twenty-nine accelerometers at a 256 Sps sampling rate. Several instrumentation layouts were utilized to assess the global multi-span response using a stationary sensor array as well as the spatially refined response of a single span using roving sensors and reference-based techniques. Subsequent structural identification using FE modeling and iterative updating through comparison with the experimental analysis is then documented to demonstrate the inherent value in dynamic response measurement across structural systems using high-rate wireless sensor networks.
