Beam-column connection in Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame is one of the most critical parts of the structure which has important role in seismic performance of these buildings. When a beam-column ...

Abstract: This paper presents implementation details of coupling circuit equations and motion with two dimensional finite clement models for transient magnetic analysis. Finite elements with ...

The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) can be viewed as an extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) where the approximation space is enriched by shape functions appropriately chosen. Many ...

In our jagged history of popular song, this is one of those things that avid online crate diggers like me weave our waking dreams from: a project with both clear roots in a loner folk lineage of ...

You can use one of the two built in sets of H(curl) conforming Shape Functions Or you can define your own by implementing the ShapeFn Trait ...

In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the mathematical realm known as group theory. At first her goals were ...

What do the integers have in common with the symmetries of a triangle? In the 19th century, mathematicians invented groups as an answer to this question. Mathematics started with numbers — clear, ...

Material properties of soft-tissue samples are often derived through uniaxial tensile testing. For engineering materials, testing parameters (e.g., sample geometries and clamping conditions) are ...

Abstract: The reconstruction of 2-D/3-D deformation and stress fields using a limited number of strain sensors is called “shape sensing” and it plays an important role in structural health monitoring ...

What Are FEM, FDM and FVM? FEM, FDM and FVM differ from one another in important ways. Understanding these distinctions is key to selecting the method most appropriate for your purposes. The ...

The miniaturization of autonomous systems down to the colloidal scale requires transferring functions, such as sensing or reconfiguration, to the constituent materials. Currently, limitations in ...
