this study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. sequential quadratic programming (sqp) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. a new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. all the second order required derivatives will be calculat...

This study deals with the dynamic behavior of the kavar concrete Abstract face rockfill damwhich is the first dam of this type to be const ructed in a highly active seismic prone area,situated in the state of Fars southern part of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The finite elementmethod was used as a tool to carry out this study. The finite element discretization was carriedout under plane strain...

This contribution proposes text for two Appendices of the API Baseline document 95-0008, covering aspects of the Data Plane layer. The text for the rst Appendix covers pragmatics of data source and destination. The text for the second Appendix describes the optional extension to the messaging receive primitive mentioned in Section 3.3.2.3 of 95-0008. Submitted as contribution 95-0473 to ATM For...

In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...

In this paper, the scattering of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nanowire with circular cross-section in the transverse electric (TE) mode is simulated using the well-known Stratton-Chu surface integral equations. For an ordinary dielectric nanowire the refraction phenomenon is nicely simulated. In the case of a plasmonic nanowire no sign of surface plasmon excitation and prop...

This supplement is organized as follows: • Section 1 clarifies assumptions (main paper, Section 4, first paragraph). • Section 2 describes the plane principal method used for normal smoothing (main paper, Section 4.1, first paragraph). • Section 3 pertains to the optimization program and includes a simulation (main paper, Section 4.2.2). • Section 4 shows a qualitative comparison to a multi-str...

The available fatigue theories have been examined using simple specimens subjected to bending or tension-compression loads. Therefore, the stress fields have been generally one or two dimensional. Anti-roll bar is a component belongs to the suspension system of the vehicles. In spite of having simple circular section, due to the having several curvatures, this component experiences a three-dime...
