New empirical failure criterion for shale
A new failure criterion was presented to predict the ultimate strength of shale under the triaxial and polyaxial state of stress. A database containing 93 datasets was obtained from the results of the uniaxial, triaxial, polyaxial compressive tests, an indirect tensile test was collected from reliable references, and this test was carried out on the shale samples taken from the southwestern oil...
متن کاملQuasi-Gap and Gap Functions for Non-Smooth Multi-Objective Semi-Infinite Optimization Problems
In this paper, we introduce and study some new single-valued gap functions for non-differentiable semi-infinite multiobjective optimization problems with locally Lipschitz data. Since one of the fundamental properties of gap function for optimization problems is its abilities in characterizing the solutions of the problem in question, then the essential properties of the newly introduced ...
متن کاملComparing Distribution Functions via Empirical Likelihood
This paper develops empirical likelihood based simultaneous confidence bands for differences and ratios of two distribution functions from independent samples of right-censored survival data. The proposed confidence bands provide a flexible way of comparing treatments in biomedical settings, and bring empirical likelihood methods to bear on important target functions for which only Wald-type co...
متن کاملSieve Empirical Likelihood Ratio Tests for Nonparametric Functions
Generalized likelihood ratio statistics have been proposed in Fan, Zhang and Zhang [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 153–193] as a generally applicable method for testing nonparametric hypotheses about nonparametric functions. The likelihood ratio statistics are constructed based on the assumption that the distributions of stochastic errors are in a certain parametric family. We extend their work to the...
متن کاملSmooth minimization of non-smooth functions
In this paper we propose a new approach for constructing efficient schemes for non-smooth convex optimization. It is based on a special smoothing technique, which can be applied to functions with explicit max-structure. Our approach can be considered as an alternative to black-box minimization. From the viewpoint of efficiency estimates, we manage to improve the traditional bounds on the number...
