A composite model is used to represent the heterogeneity of plain concrete consisting of coarse aggregates, mortar matrix and the mortar-aggregate interface. The composite elements of plain concrete are modeled using triangular finite element units which have six interface nodes along the sides. Fracture is captured through a constitutive single branch softening-fracture law at the interface nodes, which bounds the elastic domain inside each triangular unit. The inelastic displacement at an interface node represents the crack opening or sliding displacement and is conjugate to the internodal force. The path-dependent softening behaviour is developed within a quasi-prescribed displacement control formulation. The crack profile is restricted to the interface boundaries of the defined mesh. No re-meshing is carried out. Solutions to the rate formulation are obtained using a mathematical programming procedure in the form of a linear complementary problem. An event by event solution strategy is adopted to eliminate solutions with simultaneous formation of softening zones in symmetric problems. The composite plain concrete model is compared to experimental results for the tensile crack growth in a Brazilian test and three-point bending tests on different sized specimens. The model is also used to simulate wedge-type shear-compression failure directly under the loading platen of a Brazilian test.

In the present paper, we offer a new flat shell finite element. It is the result of the combination of a membrane element and a bending element, both based on the strain-based formulation. It is known that $C^{\circ}$ plane membrane elements provide poor deflection and stress for problems where bending is dominant. In addition, they encounter continuity and compliance problems when they connect to C1 class plate elements. The reach of the present work is to surmount these problems when a membrane element is coupled with a thin plate element in order to construct a shell element. The membrane element used is a triangular element with four nodes, three nodes at the vertices of the triangle and the fourth one at its barycenter. Each node has three degrees of freedom, two translations and one rotation around the normal. The coefficients related to the degrees of freedom at the internal node are subsequently removed from the element stiffness matrix by using the static condensation technique. The interpolation functions of strain, displacements and stresses fields are developed from equilibrium conditions. The plate element used for the construction of the present shell element is a triangular four-node thin plate element based on Kirchhoff plate theory, the strain approach, the four fictitious node, the static condensation and the analytic integration. The shell element result of this combination is robust, competitive and efficient.

본 논문에서는 유한요소법에서 희소행렬의 효율적인 저장을 위한 2차원 가변길이 벡터 저장구조를 제안한다. 제안한 저장구조는 유한요소 전체 방정식의 거대희소행렬 $N{\times}N$ 대신, 전체 행의 개수 N의 상삼각행렬에서 0이 아닌 실제 필요한 값들만 2차원 가변길이 벡터를 이용하여 저장하는 방법이다. 이 방법을 이용하면, 해석대상의 2차원 격자구조에서는 각 절점당 최소 1개에서 최대 5개까지의 저장 공간이 필요하게 되고, 3차원 격자구조에서는 각 절점당 최소 1개에서 최대 14개까지의 저장 공간이 필요하게 된다. 인덱스를 포함해도 2배 이상을 넘지 않는다. 본 논문의 실험 결과에 의해, 제안한 저장구조는 총 절점 개수가 많아질수록 기존의 최대칼럼 높이를 저장하는 스카이 라인 저장구조보다 메모리 공간을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 구조임을 알 수 있었다.

The modern development in design of airships and aerostats has led to unconventional configurations quite different from the classical ellipsoidal and spherical ones. This new class of air-vehicles presents a mass-to-volume ratio that can be considered very similar to the density of the fluid displaced by the vehicle itself, and as a consequence, modeling and simulation should consider the added masses in the equations of motion. The concept of added masses deals with the inertia added to a system, since an accelerating or decelerating body moving into a fluid displaces a volume of the neighboring fluid. The aim of this paper is to provide designers with the added masses matrix for more than twenty Lighter Than Air vehicles with unconventional shapes. Starting from a CAD model of a given shape, by applying a panel-like method, its external surface is properly meshed, using triangular elements. The methodology has been validated by comparing results obtained with data available in literature for a known benchmark shape, and the inaccuracies of predictions agree with the typical precision required in conceptual design. For each configuration, a CAD model and a related added masses matrix are provided, with the purpose of assisting the practitioner in the design and flight simulation of modern airships and scientific balloons.

In this paper, we present a closed-form approximation of the average sum rate of zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming (BF) with semi-orthogonal user selection (SUS). We first derive the survival probability associated with the SUS that absolute square of the channel correlation between two users is less than the orthogonalization level threshold (OLT).With this result, each distribution for the number of surviving users at each iteration of the SUS and the number of streams for transmission is calculated. Secondly, the received signal power of ZF-BF is represented as a function of the elements of the upper triangular matrix from QR decomposition of the channel matrix. Thirdly, we approximate the received signal power of ZF-BF with the SUS as the maximum of scaled chisquare random variables where the scaling factor is approximated as a function of both OLT and the number of users in the system. Putting all the above derivations and order statistics together, the approximated ergodic sum rate of ZF-BF with the SUS is shown in a closed form. The simulation results verify that the approximation tightly matches with the sample average for any OLT and even for a small number of users.

A lot of industrial chemical processes contain certain input nonlinearities even though they are controlled by several linear controllers. Here we investigate a sequential loop closing identification method for MIMO Hammerstein nonlinear processes with diagonal nonlinearities. The proposed method separates the identification of the nonlinear static function from that of the linear subsystem by using a relay feedback test and a triangular type signal test. From 2 n activations for n n MIMO nonlinear processes, we sequentially identify the whole range of the nonlinear static function as well as the transfer function matrix of the linear subsystem.

Let $M_C=\(\array{A&C\\0&B}\)$ be a $2{\times}2$ upper triangular operator matrix acting on the Hilbert space $H{\bigoplus}K\;and\;let\;{\sigma}_w(\cdot)$ denote the Weyl spectrum. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for operators A and B which ${\sigma}_w\(\array{A&C\\0&B}\)={\sigma}_w\(\array{A&C\\0&B}\)\;or\;{\sigma}_w\(\array{A&C\\0&B}\)={\sigma}_w(A){\cup}{\sigma}_w(B)$ holds for every $C{\in}B(K,\;H)$. We also study the Weyl's theorem for operator matrices.

In this paper first, we find a canonical symmetrical trapezoidal(triangular) for the solution of the fuzzy linear system $A\tilde{x}=\tilde{b}$, where the elements in A and $\tilde{b}$ are crisp and arbitrary fuzzy numbers, respectively. Then, a model for fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy variables (FLPFV), in which, the right hand side of constraints are arbitrary numbers, and coefficients of the objective function and constraint matrix are regarded as crisp numbers, is discussed. A numerical procedure for calculating a canonical symmetrical trapezoidal representation for the solution of fuzzy linear system and the optimal solution of FLPFV, (if there exist) is proposed. Several examples illustrate these ideas.
