In this paper, we develop a component mode synthesis method that relies on artificial springs to connect the subsystems of built-up structure. The modal behaviour can be computed using different approaches, from analytical numerical methods, depending their complexity. advantage link is one model them with Rayleigh–Ritz method, which problematic in synthesis. As known, approximating functions m...

Plant phenology is closely related to light availability as diurnal and seasonal cycles are essential environmental cues for organizing bio-ecological processes. The natural of light, however, have been dramatically disrupted by artificial at night (ALAN) due recent urbanization. influence on plant ALAN its spatial variation remain largely unknown. By analyzing satellite data intensity across t...

In this paper, MM-Model is presented for real-time simulation of 3D deformable objects on both global level and local region. This model consists of a deformable centerline and dynamic surface reconstruction mechanism based on Mass-Spring and Medial-Representation respectively. When a relatively small force is applied on the object the model works in the same way as the traditional Mass-Spring....

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence held its 1990 Spring Symposium Series on March 27–29 at Stanford University, Stanford, California. This article contains a short summary of seven of the nine symposia that were conducted (reports were unavailable for the symposia Planning in Uncertain, Unpredictable, and Changing Environments and The Theory and Application of Minimal-Length E...

We present an open source physics engine specialised for multi-cellular artificial organisms simulations. It is computationally efficient in comparison to gas-based and finite element models and more realistic than standard mass-springdamper systems. Introduction Morphogenetic engineering can often make good use of some biologically plausible improvements. Mechanics, in particular, are quite im...
