The finite element method (FEM) can be applied to practically analyze the tall buildings in which the shear walls are used to resist the lateral loads. Accordingly, a variety of displacement and strain-based as well as frame macro elements have been proposed for analysis of the tall buildings. With respect to application of the lower order plane stress elements, analytical problems may arise wi...

The paper demonstrates reduced order modeling (ROM) of the strongly coupled system level dynamic analysis of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) by lumped finite elements (FE) and substructuring implemented in the ANSYS/Multiphysics program. Index terms Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS), Finite elements (FE), Coupled analysis, Reduced order modeling (ROM)

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...

Multi-level meta-modeling hinges on the precise conceptualization of the instantiation relation between elements of the meta-model and the model. In this paper, we propose a new algebraic instantiation approach, the Dynamic Multi-Layer Algebra. The approach aims to provide a solid algebraic foundation for multi-level meta-modeling, which is easily customizable through different bootstrap elemen...

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Geography Markup Language (GML) explicitly represents geographical spatial knowledge in text mode. All kinds of fuzzy problems will inevitably be encountered in spatial knowledge expression. Especially for those expressions in text mode, this fuzziness will be broader. Describing and representing fuzziness in GML seems necessary. Three kinds of fuzziness in ...

Dictionary learning algorithms for audio modeling typically learn a dictionary such that each time frame of the given sound source is approximately equal to a linear combination of the dictionary elements. Since audio is non-stationary data, learning a single dictionary to explain all time frames of the sound source might not be the best modeling strategy. We therefore recently proposed a techn...

Medical imaging can provide data for useful views of the interior details of human anatomy. In addition to visualization, which in general has been the primary reason for obtaining these data, many other uses are possible. These include modeling of different elements and their inter-relationships -topological modeling, simulation of physical processes, analysis of movements and validation of mo...

Sujet passionnant pour la linguistique ainsi que littérature, relation du silence à parole a été abondamment explorée par l’écriture XXe siècle. Zazie dans le métro de Raymond Queneau (1959) constitue un terrain idéal mener une enquête ce type aborder notre thème d’une perspective linguistique.
