The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...

We study the model selection property of the Elastic Net. In the classical settings when p (the number of predictors) and q (the number of predictors with non-zero coefficients in the true linear model) are fixed, Yuan and Lin (2007) give a necessary and sufficient condition for the Elastic Net to consistently select the true model. They showed that it consistently selects the true model if and...

On the basis of structured unified hardening model (structured UH model) considering soil collapse, time effect is take into account, and an elastic-viscous-plastic extended. In presented model, moving normal compression line (MNCL) extended to a instant (MINCL) for simulating both structure effect. Then instance plastic strains irrespective are calculated by referring MINCL, due traditional li...
