In order to study the effect of non-uniform support settlement on global stability ultimate bearing capacity lattice shell structure, combining with project first site protective building in Zhoukoudian Ruins, finite element software ANSYS is employed conduct geometric nonlinear and double analysis single-layer respectively based consistent mode imperfection method advanced method, thus under d...

Thermal buckling behavior of truncated conical liner reinforced by laminated composite is investigated in the presence of a general initial imperfection. For this purpose, the method of virtual work and first-order strain-deformation shell theory are employed to extract equilibrium equations. To this end, a finite element code is developed using the 3D 8-node shell element with six degrees of f...

This paper studies the problem of discovering protocol definitions from read-world service interaction data, which often are imperfect in various ways. It first describes the challenges in protocol discovery in such a context and the different aspects that must be considered by a protocol discovery solution. Next, it reports the current progress by presenting a discovery algorithm that is robus...

IX Chapter 0ABSTRACT The process of designing high-quality software systems is one of the major issues in software engineering research. Over the years, this has resulted in numerous design methods, each with specific qualities and drawbacks. For example, the Rational Unified Process is a comprehensive design process, which is proposed to support the major phases in the software engineering lif...

Current research in context-awareness is biased toward low-level context information. High-level context information, however, poses several challenges to context management systems, which can be traced back to the asynchronicity of context acquisition and use and the inherent dynamics and imperfection in that process. This paper presents a three layer model allowing for dealing with the proble...

Pattern recognition based on correlation is one of the most useful techniques for many applications. Since the pioneer work of VanderLugt (1964), correlation filters have gained popularity thanks to their shift-invariance property, good mathematical basis, and easy implementation by means of digital, optical or hybrid optical/digital systems. However, conventional correlation filters are sensit...

Traditional computational models of geographic phenomena offer no room for imperfection. Underlying this tradition is the simplifying assumption that reality is certain, crisp, unambiguous, independent of context, and capable of quantitative representation. This paper reports on initial work which explicitly recognises that most geographic information is intrinsically imperfect. Based on an ont...

We model adjustment costs in a general-equilibrium setting using a “transport sector.” This sector provides services needed to reallocate a factor of production across two other sectors. A market imperfection in the transport sector causes adjustment to occur too slowly in the absence of government intervention. The government has a restricted menu of second-best policies to remedy this imperfe...

This paper presents a novel approach to investigate ergodic mutual information of OFDMA Selection-Decode-and-Forward (SDF) cooperative relay networks with imperfect channel state information (CSI). Relay stations are either dedicated or non-dedicated (i.e., subscriber stations assisting other subscriber stations). The CSI imperfection is modeled as an additive random variable with known statist...
