چکیده

Three algorithms for determining the bulk geometric properties of cellular structures from a stationary digital image are presented. The geometrical properties of interest include cell orientation and cell aspect ratio. With future test data expected to possess high luminance variability, poor contrast near element boundaries and irregular discolouration, this problem is poorly suited for the spatial techniques currently in the computer vision literature. Algorithms operating within the spatialfrequency domain based on Gabor filters, area moments (moments of inertia) and least squares ellipse fitting are used to determine the bulk geometrical properties of cellular structures in a digital image.

Efficiency of Neural Networks for Estimating the Patch Load Resistance of Plate Girders with a Focus on Uncertainties in Material and Geometrical Properties

In this paper, a sensitivity analysis of artificial neural networks (NNs) is presented and employed for estimating the patch load resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed NN model, the results are compared with the previously proposed empirical models, so that we can estimate the resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. The ...

Study the Surface Effect on the Buckling of Nanowires Embedded in Winkler–Pasternak Elastic Medium Based on a Nonlocal Theory

Nano structures such as nanowires, nanobeams and nanoplates have been investigated widely for their innovative properties. In this paper the buckling of nanowires surrounded in a Winkler - Pasternak elastic medium has been examined based on the nonlocal Euler-Bernoully model with considering the surface effects. In the following a parametric study that explores the influence of numerous physica...

Optimizing the bulk modulus of cellular networks

We present an alternative derivation of upper-bounds for the bulk modulus of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cellular materials. For two-dimensional materials, we recover exactly the expression of the Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) upper-bound in the low-density limit, while for three-dimensional materials we even improve the HS bound. Furthermore, we establish necessary and sufficient condit...

Mechanical properties of CNT reinforced nano-cellular polymeric nanocomposite foams

Mechanics of CNT-reinforced nano-cellular PMMA nanocomposites are investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Firstly, static uniaxial stretching of bulk PMMA polymer is simulated and the results are compared with literature. Then, nano-cellular foams with different relative densities are constructed and subjected to static uniaxial stretching and obtained stress-strain cu...

Estimating the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Soil Using Gene Expression Programming Method and Comparing It with the Pedotransfer Functions

Saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil is an important physical property of soil that affects water movement in soil, Since the measurement of saturated hydraulic conductivity by direct methods in the field or in the laboratory is hard, time-consuming and costly, the indirect methods are being used.The aim of this study is to estimate the saturated hydraulic conductivity from other soil prope...
