Two-jet event shape distributions, traditionally studied in the language of perturbative QCD, can be described naturally in soft-collinear effective theory. In this language, we demonstrate factorization of event shape distributions into perturbatively-calculable hard and jet functions and nonperturbative soft functions, and show how the latter contribute universal shifts to the mean values of ...

in this paper, we consider a new class of analytic functions in the unit disk using polynomials of order alpha. we give some sufficient conditions for functions belonging to this class.

Nonperturbative effects in event shape distributions can be characterized by shape functions derived in the eikonal approximation or, equivalently, from soft-collinear effective theory. The use of energy flow operators and the boost invariance of the Wilson lines of soft gluons in the shape functions leads to a proof of universality for power corrections to the mean values of event shapes, with...

In this paper, one of the simplest and most regular members of the family of the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) methods; namely MLPG5, is applied to analyze the thick-walled isotropic laminated cylinders under elasto-static pressure. A novel simple technique is proposed to eliminate a very important difficulty of the meshless methods to deal with material discontinuities regarding to the...

This paper is concerned with elastic local buckling of rectangular plates subjected to intermediate and end inplane loads. Since closed form solution for buckling analysis of plates with different end conditions and subjected to intermediate loads is complicated, numerical methods are more useful. Because of restrictions on the two finite strip methods, the longitudinal B3 spline expressions co...

A NURBS-based isogeometric finite element formulation is developed and adopted to the free vibration analysis of finite square and skew laminated plates. Variable stiffness plies are assumed due to implementation of curvilinear fiberreinforcements. It is assumed due to employment of tow placement technology, in each ply of variable stiffness composite laminated plate the fiber reinforceme...

In this article, the effect of different yield functions on prediction of forming limit curve (FLC) for aluminum sheet is studied. Due to importance of FLC in sheet metal forming, concentration on effective parameters must be considered exactly in order to have better theoretical prediction comparing experimental results. Yield function is one of the factors which are improved by adding new coe...

Shape matching plays an important role in many application fields. In this paper, we propose a novel rotation invariant 3D shape descriptor based on Hadamard transform and spherical harmonic transform. In our method, a 3D model is represented as a collection of spherical functions to preserve shape information as much as possible, and the shape similarity is directly defined by the difference o...
