Non-linear Structural Analysis as Real-Time Animation Borrowing from the Arcade
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes a computational method commonly used in interactive computer graphics and games, and demonstrates its application to structural engineering problems, using a prototype program called Arcade. The method enables a new model of interaction in structural analysis, where the simulated structure responds to user input in real time, in the same way that computer games respond. The method shows good engineering accuracy in simple verification problems involving the non-linear phenomena of buckling and beam yielding. The method offers the potential to make non-linear, timehistory analysis a much more common method in engineering practice, and to bring a greater emphasis on non-linear, dynamic structural behaviour in structural education.

A Particle-system Approach to Real-time Non-linear Analysis
The paper describes a project to apply the particle system (PS) approach to structural engineering problems. The PS approach is widely used in computer graphics and animation to simulate physical phenomena such as deformable objects and collisions. The study finds that although the PS approach is less efficient than conventional finite element analysis, its ability to model unstable structures ...

Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...
