Response of a transversely isotropic 3-D half-space subjected to a surface time-harmonic excitation is presented in analytical form. The derivation of the fundamental solutions expressed in terms of displacements is based on the prefect series of displacement potential functions that have been obtained in the companion paper by the authors. First the governing equations are uncoupled in the cyl...

Planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. The problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

we derive error estimates in the appropriate norms, for the streamlinediffusion (sd) finite element methods for steady state, energy dependent,fermi equation in three space dimensions. these estimates yield optimal convergencerates due to the maximal available regularity of the exact solution.high order sd method together with implicit integration are used. the formulationis strongly consistent...

changes in dynamic properties of structures indicate occurrence of damages in the structures. in this paper, a new two stage algorithm for damage detection of large structure is introduced. a modified residual force method is utilized to locate the damage regions in structures, especially barrel vaults, and then the enhanced charged system search (css) algorithm is used to quantify the amount o...

1 . I n t r o d u c t i o n Hashing method is a well suited method to achieve state-space exploration for verification of distributed systems. Hashing method is used as searching method to accelerate the retrieval process of a particular state among large state space under exploration. This method enables searching, insertion and suppression operations to be done on average at a constant cost i...

The common wisdom that goal orderings can be used to improve planning performance is nearly as old as planning itself. During the last decades of research several approaches emerged that computed goal orderings for diierent planning paradigms, mostly in the area of state-space planning. For partial-order, plan-space planners goal orderings have not been investigated in much detail. Mechanisms d...

neural networks are applicable in identification systems from input-output data. in this report, we analyze thehammerstein-wiener models and identify them. thehammerstein-wiener systems are the simplest type of block orientednonlinear systems where the linear dynamic block issandwiched in between two static nonlinear blocks, whichappear in many engineering applications; the aim of nonlinearsyst...

Potential heuristics for state-space search are defined as weighted sums over simple state features. Atomic features consider the value of a single state variable in a factored state representation, while binary features consider joint assignments to two state variables. Previous work showed that the set of all admissible and consistent potential heuristics using atomic features can be characte...
