ABSTRACT In the presentwork finite element method and fuzzy-KSOM hybrid technique are used for localization of damagepresent in form of cracks in the cantilever beam. The presence of cracks in the beam like structures is a serious threat to the performance as well as integrity of structures and itschange the modal indics e.g. natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structures.The glass fiber...

The following study deals with the updating the finite element model of structures using the operational modal analysis. The updating process uses an evolutionary optimization algorithm, namely bees algorithm which applies instinctive behavior of honeybees for finding food sources. To determine the uncertain updated parameters such as geometry and material properties of the structure, local and...

This paper presents a novel approach for power system dynamic voltage stability analysis based on the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) transfer function. The MIMO system is defined taking into account the critical nodal voltages as outputs and possible control variables as the input. Based on the modal analysis and singular value analysis, the dynamic voltage stability analysis is carried out. T...

We study a multi-user multiple-input single-output downlink system aided by reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Users’ sum rate and transmit power are two important performance indicators in such systems. However, most existing works only optimize one of them, resulting severe degradation the other. Motivated this, this paper, we formulate multi-objective optimization problem to maximize ...

We consider unidirectional data streams with restricted access, such as read-only and write-only streams. For read-write streams, we also introduce a new complexity measure called expansion, the ratio between the space used on the stream and the input size. We give tight bounds for the complexity of reversing a stream of length n in several of the possible models. In the read-only and write-onl...

We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically typecheck XPath queries. To this end, we prove the decidability of a logic with converse for finite ordered trees whose time complexity is a simple exponential of the size of a formula. The logic corresponds to the alternation free modal μ-calculus restricted to finite tre...

A stochastic approach is proposed for estimating the variability in structural parameters present in a large set of metal-frame structures, given only measurements of modal frequency performed on a subset of the structures. The key step is a new statistical model relating simulation and experiment, including terms representing not only the measurement noise, but also the unknown structural vari...

This work revisits the study of streaming algorithms where both input and output are data streams. While streaming algorithms with multiple streams have been studied before, such as in the context of sorting, most assumed very nonrestrictive models and thus had weak lower bounds. We consider data streams with restricted access, such as read-only and write-only streams, as opposed to read-write ...

A three-core polarization splitter based on a square-lattice photonic-crystal fiber is presented. The component separates the input field into two orthogonally polarized beams that are coupled to the horizontal and vertical output ports. The splitter has been designed through modal and beam propagation analysis by employing high-performance codes based on the finite-element method. Results obta...
