Source based heterogeneous modelling is a powerful way of defining gradient materials within a volume. The current solutions do not take into account the topology of the object and can provide counter intuitive results for complex objects. This paper presents a method to interpolate material properties and attributes based on the accessibility of the points in respect to the material features d...

This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...

The problem of computing a uniform interpolant of a given formula on a sublanguage is known in Artificial Intelligence as variable forgetting. In propositional logic, there are well known methods for performing variable forgetting. Variable forgetting is more involved in modal logics, because one must forget a variable not in one world, but in several worlds. It has been shown that modal logic ...

Abstract This paper presents an approach for deriving the continuum sensitivity of superconducting systems operating at critical current densities and optimization method based on sensitivity. In problem, is represented by a variational state equation, wherein magnetic permeability depends field, which transformed from equation with field-dependent source. The design derived using material deri...

In this paper ,the general solution of steady-state one dimensional asymmetric thermal stresses and electrical and mechanical displacements of a hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material and piezoelectric layers is developed .The material properties ,except the Poisson's ration, are assumed to depend on the variable radius and they are expressed as power functions of radius. The temp...

This article presents a topology optimization method for structures consisting of multiple lattice components under certain size, which can be manufactured with an additive manufacturing machine size limit and assembled via conventional joining processes, such as welding, gluing, riveting, bolting. The proposed simultaneously optimize overall structural topology, partitioning to functionally gr...

Business method patents are a viable strategic weapon when used to protect intellectual property. At the same time, studies have shown that coverage of intellectual property in the IS curriculum is lacking. This paper suggests the use of a research assignment in IS courses that can help students understand the use of patents as a competitive strategy. Background material is provided for instruc...

In the current work, we implement the meshless local radial point interpolation (MLRPI) method to find numerical solution of one-dimensional linear telegraph equations with variable coefficients. The MLRPI method, as a meshless technique, does not require any background integration cells and all integrations are carried out locally over small quadrature domains of regular shapes, such as lines ...
