in this paper, the capabilities of modeling linear viscoelasticty in a finite element method software package (comsol multiphysics) have been investigated. the governing equations of linear viscoelasticity have been developed for 2d cases of plane stress and plane strain. these equations have been verified by solving a related engineering example. since the developed equations are suitable for ...

The Hearsay II speech-understanding system (HSII) (Lesser, et al., 1974; Fennell, 1975; Erman and Lesser, 1975) is an implementation of a knowledge-based multiprocessing Al problem-solving organization. HSII is intended to represent a problem-solving organization which is applu able for implementation in a multiprocessing environment, and is, in particular, currently being implemented on the Cm...

Classical AND/OR goal, or task, decomposition techniques are generalized to deal with the problem of sensory-interactive goal-directed behavior in biological organisms. A neurophysiological model is described which demonstrates the capacity to l e a r n , to generalize, to compute multivariate mathematical functions, and to decompose input commands into sequences of output commands in a context...

Problem solving is sometimes accompanied by a sudden feeling of knowing, or insight. The specific cognitive processes that underlie insightful problem solving are a matter of great interest and debate. Although some investigators favor a special-process view, which explains insight in terms of specialized mechanisms that operate outside of conscious awareness, others favor a business-as-usual a...
