  • In this paper, we find the second derivative of mean busy cycle with respect to a parameter of inter-arrival time distribution. We show that this derivative can be estimated from single sample path. We do the similar thing for the mean number of arrivals during busy cycle.

  • The derivative influence measure is adapted to the Cholesky decomposition of a covariance matrix. Formulas for the derivative influence of observations on the Cholesky root and the inverse Cholesky root of a sample covariance matrix are derived. It is easy to implement this influence diagnostic method for practical use. A numerical example is given for illustration.

  • In this study, we investigate the discontinuous-derivative treatment at the gas-liquid interface in underwater explosion (UNDEX) problems by using the Moving Least Squares-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (MLS-SPH) method, which is known as one of the particle methods suitable for problems where large deformation and inhomogeneity occur in the whole domain. Because the numerical oscillation of pressure arises from derivative discontinuity in the UNDEX analysis using the standard SPH method, the MLS shape function with Discontinuous-derivative Basis Function (DBF) that is able to represent the derivative discontinuity of field function is utilized in the MLS-SPH formulation in order to suppress the nonphysical pressure oscillation. The effectiveness of the MLS-SPH with DBF is demonstrated in comparison with the standard SPH and conventional MLS-SPH though a shock tube problem and benchmark standard problems of UNDEX of a trinitrotoluene (TNT) charge.

  • In school mathematics the derivative concept is intuitively taught with the tangents and the concept of instantaneous velocity. In this paper, I investigated the long historical developments of the derivative concepts and analysed the relationships between the definition of derivative and the related elements. Finally I proposed some educational implications based on the analysis.

  • This paper presents new differential methods for computing the combined and single dynamic stability derivatives of flight vehicle. Based on rigid dynamic mesh technique, the combined dynamic stability derivative can be achieved by imposing the aircraft pitching to the same angle of attack with two different pitching angular velocities and also translating it to the same additional angle of attack with two different rates of angle of attack. As a result, the acceleration derivative is identified. Moreover, the rotating reference frame is adopted to calculate the rotary derivatives when simulating the steady pull-up with different pitching angular velocities. Two configurations, the Hyper Ballistic Shape (HBS) and Finner missile model, are considered as evaluations and results of all the cases agree well with reference or experiment data. Compared to traditional ones, the new differential methods are of high efficiency and accuracy, and potential to be extended to the simulation of combined and single stability derivatives of directional and lateral.
