Equation Chapter 1 Section 1 Analytical Solutions for Radially Functionally Graded Annular Plates

A closed-form solution for deflections and stresses in an annular thin plate of radially functionally graded material under transverse uniform pressure loading is presented. The small displacement theory of elasticity is assumed in the present work. Young’s modulus of the material is taken in the form of a simple power law to vary in the radial direction with an arbitrary exponent showing heter...

Neuro-ACT Cognitive Architecture Applications in Modeling Driver’s Steering Behavior in Turns

Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...

Chapter 2 : Modeling frameworks , paradigms , and approaches

This chapter provides a general conceptual background to the more specific discussions of GIS-based environmental modeling presented in this book. It addresses three main themes central to environmental modeling: spatial models, complex systems, and geocomputation. The discussion covers static and dynamic, discrete and continuous, and social and natural system models, and helps put in perspecti...

Cognitive Architectures for Modeling Driver Behavior

The Problem. The driving task involves a host of relevant cognitive, perceptual, and motor abilities. Cognitive architectures—frameworks for modeling human cognition and behavior—have evolved to integrate known theories of human cognition into unified theories that account for a wide range of cognitive phenomena. Role of Driving Simulators. Models of driver behavior based on cognitive architect...
