A multi-scale (macro-micro) finite element framework for analysis of polycrystalline solids is suggested. The proposed frame work is strongly-coupled in a sense that the two scale calculation is performed at the same time. The issue of averaging micro-scale material stress and stiffness is addressed and a strategy is proposed. The proposed framework is implemented and applied to two examples having different geometries and loading modes. It is concluded that the proposed multi-scale framework can be used for more detailed and accurate analysis compared with the single-scale finite element analysis.

In the present study, a new computational closure model is proposed in order to contain physical models in the k- and .epsilon.- equations. The time scale of the third-order diffusive transport of turbulent kinetic energy in a curved streamline flow field is assumed as a function of a velocity time scale and a curvature time scale, the latter being derived from the analogy between buoyancy and streamline curvature effects on turbulence. The curvature time scale is represented by a combination of Brunt-Vaisala frequency of the curvature instability and the velocity time scale. Besides the modification of diffusive transport time scale, the destruction term in the dissipation rate equation is modeled to incorporate the streamline curvature effect on the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy as a function of the ratio between velocity time scale and curvature time scale. The new curvature dependent 2-equation model is found to yield very good prediction accuracy for the various turbulent recirculating flows. Particurarly, the recovery of the mean velocity profile in the redeveloping region after the reattachment is correctly simulated by the present model.

In this paper, the open-loop state response of the two-time-scale systems by unified approach using the $\delta$-operator is presented with an example of the aircraft longitudinal dynamics. First, the $\delta$-operator system unifies both the continuous system and the discrete system simultaneously, and the $\delta$-operator approach improves the finite word-length characteristics. This saves more computing time than that of the discrete system. Second, the singular perturbation method by block diagonalization reduces the sizes and orders of the systems. This also reduces the floating-point operations (flops). The advantage of those two approaches is shown by comparing our results with the earlier ones in the illustrative example of the longitudinal motion of F-8 aircraft.

Flexible large-scale WLANs are now widely deployed in crowded and highly mobile places such as campus, airport, shopping mall and company etc. But network management is hard for large-scale WLANs due to highly uneven interference and throughput among links. So the traffic is difficult to predict accurately. In the paper, through analysis of traffic in two real large-scale WLANs, Granger Causality is found in both scenarios. In combination with information entropy, it shows that the traffic prediction of target AP considering Granger Causality can be more predictable than that utilizing target AP alone, or that of considering irrelevant APs. So We develops new method -Granger Causality and Vector Auto-Regression (GCVAR), which takes APs series sharing Granger Causality based on Vector Auto-regression (VAR) into account, to predict the traffic flow in two real scenarios, thus redundant and noise introduced by multivariate time series could be removed. Experiments show that GCVAR is much more effective compared to that of traditional univariate time series (e.g. ARIMA, WARIMA). In particular, GCVAR consumes two orders of magnitude less than that caused by ARIMA/WARIMA.

This article presents an application of a large-scale structural mixing model(Broadwell et at. 1984) to the blowout of turbulent reacting cross flow jets. Experimental observations, therefore, aim to identify the existence of large-scale vortical structure exerting an important effect upon the flame stabilization. In the analysis of common stability curve, it is seen that the phenomenon of blowout are only related to the mixing time scale of the two flows. The most notable observation is that the blowout distance is traced at a fixed positions according to the velocity ratio at all times. Measurements of the lower blowout limits in the liftable flame are qualitatively in agreement with the blowout parameter $\xi$, proposed by Broadwell et al. Good agrement between the results calculated by a modified blowout parameter $\xi$'and the present experimental results confirms the important effect of large-scale structure in the stabilization feature of blowout.

A modified Time-Ratio Gray Scale AMOLED drive technique is described in which the frame period is split into two half-frames, each of which is divided into binary weighted sub-frames and driven in the conventional time-ratio manner. The proposed technique improves aperture ratio by reducing TFT sizes in pixel circuits.

A derivation is given of two-scale models that are able to describe deformation and flow in a fluid-saturated and progressively fracturing porous medium. From the micromechanics of the flow in the cavity, identities are derived that couple the local momentum and the mass balances to the governing equations for a fluid-saturated porous medium, which are assumed to hold on the macroscopic scale. By exploiting the partition-of-unity property of the finite element shape functions, the position and direction of the fractures are independent from the underlying discretization. The finite element equations are derived for this two-scale approach and integrated over time. The resulting discrete equations are nonlinear due to the cohesive crack model and the nonlinearity of the coupling terms. A consistent linearization is given for use within a Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. Finally, examples are given to show the versatility and the efficiency of the approach.

In this paper, we consider to robust controller design problem for the linear large scale systems with the uncertainties and the time-delays. The considered time-delays are that exist in the state and the input of the subsystems and the interconnected subsystems. And the considered uncertainties are two general types that exist in the system, input and interconnected matrices. Based on the linear matrix inequality(LMI) and Lyapunov theorem, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller that guarantees the asymptotic stability of systems regardless of the uncertainties and the time-delays. Also, the controller can be easily obtained by checking the feasibility of the LMI's. Finally, we show the usefulness of our results by an example.

The stability of a simply supported straight pipe is investigated. The time dependent flow is assumed to vary harmonically about a constant mean velocity. Stability conditions and dynamic reponses of a governing equation are conducted by use of multiple scale mettled. Parametric resonances and combination resonances are investigated. Stability boundaries are analytically determined. The resulted stability conditions show that instabilities exist when the frequency of flow fluctuation is close to two times the natural frequency or to the sum of any two natural frequencies. In case that the fluctuated flow frequency is close to zero or to the difference of two natural frequencies, however, instabilities are not found up to the first order of perturbation. Stability charts are numerically Presented fir the first two vibration modes.

The paper reports the physical and mechanical properties of hand-woven carpets, which have been put under static force. Two groups of wool fibres, from two parts of Iran, were prepared to spin pile yams for the carpets. Each group of the fibres included both conventional and tanned wool. Then two yam counts, $N_m$ = 4/2 and 6/2, were spun for two different knot densities. After weaving the carpets, they were put under static force and their thickness variations were measured and plotted against time, in logarithm scale. The resiliency of the carpets piles after eliminating the static force, were measured and plotted against time, in logarithm scale, too. The results were compared to each other and analysed with respect to parameters such as the type and quality of the wool fibres as well as knot density of the carpets.
