Continuous Displacement Cluster Variation Method in Fourier Space

A heuristic method for combined optimization of layout design and cluster configuration in continuous productions

Facility layout problems have been generally solved either hierarchically or integrated into other phases of plant design. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced so that clustering and facilities layout can be simultaneously optimized. Each cluster is formed by a group of connected facilities and selection of the most appropriate cluster configuration is aimed. Since exact method by MIP i...

On the Displacement-Stress Continuous Finite Elements

For the analysis of composite media, three different compatible and mixed finite element formulations are presented which apriori enforce the continuity of stresses as well as displacements at the element interfaces. The formulations are applied for the analysis of hi-material interfaces in two problems often encountered in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics, that is the fixation analysis in...

Reciprocal-space analysis of short-range-order intensities by the cluster-variation method.

A reciprocal space formulation of the Cluster Variation is used in order to extract effective pair interactions in alloys from experimental short-range order diffuse intensities. The method is applied to the analysis of the short range order contribution to the neutron diffuse scattering of a F e − 19.5%Al single crystal. A detailed comparison with real space methods is carried out for three di...

Reconstruction in Fourier space

We present a fast iterative FFT-based reconstruction algorithm that allows for nonparallel redshift-space distortions (RSD). We test our algorithm on both N-body dark matter simulations and mock distributions of galaxies designed to replicate galaxy survey conditions. We compare solenoidal and irrotational components of the redshift distortion and show that an approximation of this distortion l...
