Methods for predicting the ultimate/buckling strength of ship structures have been extensively improved in terms of design formulas and analytical solutions. In recent years, the design strategy of ships and offshore structures has tended to emphasize lighter builds and improve operational safety. Therefore, the corresponding geometrical changes in design necessitate the use of high-tensile steel and thin plates. However, the existing design formulas were mainly developed for thick plates and mild steels. Therefore, the calculation methods require appropriate modification for new designs beased on high-tensile steel and thin plates. In this study, a modified formula was developed to predict the ultimate strength of thin steel plates subjected to compressive and shear loads. Based on the numerical results, the effects of the yield stress, slenderness ratio, and loading condition on the buckling/ultimate strength of steel plates were examined, and a newly modified double-beta parameter formula was developed. The results were used to derive and modify existing closed-form expressions and empirical formulas to predict the ultimate strength of thin-walled steel structures.

The transformation devised by Lecomte and Ueda for the study of resonance structures in the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT) is used to analyze partial photofragmentation cross section formulas in MQDT analogous to Fano's resonance formula obtained in the previous work for the system involving two open and one closed channels. Detailed comparison of the MQDT results with the configuration mixing (CM) ones is made. Resonance structures and their geometrical relations in the MQDT formulation are revealed and classified by combining Lecomte and Ueda's theory with the geometrical method devised to study the coupling between background and resonance scatterings.

Let ${\Sigma}_{g,n,b}$ denote the orientable surface obtained from the closed orientable surface ${\Sigma}_g$ of genus $g{\geq}2$ by deleting the interior of $n{\geq}1$ distinct topological disks and $b{\geq}1$ points. Using the notion of symplectic chain complex, the present paper establishes a formula for computing Reidemeister torsion of the surface ${\Sigma}_{g,n,b}$ in terms of Reidemeister torsion of the closed surface ${\Sigma}_g$, Reidemeister torsion of disk, and Reidemeister torsion of punctured disk.

Ship structures is thin-walled structures and she has lots of curved platings. In these days, lots different kinds of closed-formulas are development for ultimate strength of flat plate but for curved panels, there are not enough study or papers for this field. In this study, the ultimate strength characteristics for ship curved plates are studied. The ship plating is generally subjected to combined in-plane and lateral pressure loads. In-plane loads included biaxial compression/tension and edge shear. This is first report about the developing of ultimate compressive strength for ship curved plating. A closed-form formula for predicting the ultimate compressive strength of curved plates are empirically derived by curve fitting based on the computed results. The results and insights developed in the present study will be useful for damage tolerant design of curved plated structures.

A closed-form technique is presented for estimating a single source location from a set of noisy time delay measurements between distributed sensors. The localization formula is derived from nonlinear least squares minimization over the unknowns of target range and bearing in polar coordinates. Computer simulation results are provided for the purpose of performance analysis. Constrained least squares minimization method with prior source location information is also discussed.

Iteration functions $K_m(z)$ and $U_m(z)$, $m{\geq}2$are defined recursively using the determinant of a matrix. We show that the fixed-iterations of $K_m(z)$ and $U_m(z)$ converge to a simple zero with order of convergence m and give closed form expansions of $K_m(z)$ and $U_m(z)$: To show the convergence, we derive a recursion formula for $L_m$ and then apply the idea of Ford or Pomentale. We also find a Toeplitz matrix whose determinant is $L_m(z)/(f^{\prime})^m$, and then we adapt the well-known results of Gerlach and Kalantari et.al. to give closed form expansions.

We apply Fourier-Legendre-based integration methods that had been given by Campbell in 2021, to evaluate new rational double hypergeometric sums involving ${\frac{{1}}{\pi}}$. Closed-form evaluations for dilogarithmic expressions are key to our proofs of these results. The single sums obtained from our double series are either inevaluable $_2F_1({\frac{4}{5}})$- or $_2F_1({\frac{1}{2}})$-series, or Ramanujan's ₃F₂(1)-series for the moments of the complete elliptic integral K. Furthermore, we make use of Ramanujan's finite sum identity for the aforementioned ₃F₂(1)-family to construct creative new proofs of Landau's asymptotic formula for the Landau constants.

This paper is focused on the formulation of explicit closed-form functions describing the performance measures of the general flexible manufacturing system (FMS)according to the strategy of material handling system(MHS). the performance measures such as the production rate, the production lead-time and the utilization rate of the general FMS are expressed, respectively, as the explicit closed-form functions of the part processing time, the service rate of the material handling system (MHS) and the number of machine tools in the FMS. For this, the gensral FMS is presented as a generalized stochastic Petri net model, then, the moment generating function (MGF) based approach is applied to obtain the steady-state probabity formulation. Based on the steady-state formulation, the explicit closed-form functions for performance measures of the probability FMS can be obtained. Finally, the analytical results are compared with the Petri net simulation results to verify the validity of the suggested method. The paper is of significance in the sense that it provides a comprehensive formula for performance measures of the FMS even to the industry engineers and academic reademic resuarchers who have no background on Markov chain analysis method or Petrinet modeling

In this paper, we address some issues in existing seismic hazard closed-form equations and present a novel seismic hazard equation form to overcome these issues. The presented equation form is based on higher-order polynomials, which can well describe the seismic hazard information with relatively high non-linearity. The accuracy of the proposed form is illustrated not only in the seismic hazard data itself but also in estimating the annual probability of failure (APF) of the structural systems. For this purpose, the information on seismic hazard is used in representative areas of the United States (West : Los Angeles, Central : Memphis and Kansas, East : Charleston). Examples regarding the APF estimation are the analyses of existing platform structure and nuclear power plant problems. As a result of the numerical example analyses, it is confirmed that the higher-order-polynomial-based hazard form presented in this paper could predict the APF values of the two example structure systems as well as the given seismic hazard data relatively accurately compared with the existing closed-form hazard equations. Therefore, in the future, it is expected that we can derive a new improved APF function by combining the proposed hazard formula with the existing fragility equation.

Using a simple recurrence relation, we give a new method to compute the Jones polynomials of closed braids: we find a general expansion formula and a rational generating function for the Jones polynomials. The method is used to estimate the degree of the Jones polynomials for some families of braids and to obtain general qualitative results.
