present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (fg) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. the plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a winkler- pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

abstract: a time domain semi-analytical solution to study thermoelastic creep behavior of  functionally graded rotating axisymmetric disks with variable thickness is presented. the rate type governing differential equations for the considered structure are derived and analytically solved. to solve these  equations, the disk is divided into some virtual sub-domains. general solution of  equilibr...

TTS-MUC3 incorporates semi-automated lexicon generation and almost fully automated phras e pattern generation. Associative retrieval from a case memory provides raw data for computing se t fills and string fills . TTS-MUC3's modular process model integrates the results of case memor y retrieval over sentences from multiple stories, extracts the date and location of incidents, an d computes cros...

Tracking with a discriminative classifier becomes popular recently. The online updating makes it easy to adapt to target appearance variations. However, this also brings drifting problem. It’s necessary to find a tracking method with strong adaptivity and anti-drifting ability. In this paper, an online semi-supervised boosting method is proposed at first, and based on it, we propose a novel tra...

Introduction The development of laser diodes has increased the variety of practical applications for lasers as light sources in analytical spectroscopy. Lasers are excellent radiation sources due to their monochromaticity, good beam focusing capabilities, and small line-widths but have traditionally been expensive and difficult to operate, limiting their applications to specialized fields. Beca...

This paper proposes a simple semi-analytical method for designing coil-systems for homogeneous magnetostatic field generation. The homogeneity of the magnetic field and the average magnitude of the magnetic flux density inside of the volume of interest are the objective functions chosen for the selection of the coil-system geometry (size and location), number of coils and the number of turns of...

Although RSS demonstrates a promising solution to track and personalize the flow of new Web information, many of the current Web sites are not yet enabled with RSS feeds. The availability of convenient approaches to “RSSify” existing suitable Web contents has become a stringent necessity. This paper presents EHTML2RSS, an efficient system that translates semi-structured HTML pages to structured...

A new semi-analytical approach to estimate the influence of directly modulated semiconductor laser noise on direct detection system performance is proposed and its accuracy is analysed utilizing rigorous mixed semi-analytical simulation. It is shown that this new semi-analytical approach gives a more precise upper bound than the one obtained by other approach currently used, and differences of ...
