  • In this paper the formulation of an efficient frame element applicable for nonlinear analysis of 3D reinforced concrete (RC) frames is outlined. Interaction between axial force and bending moment is considered by using the fibre element approach. Further, section warping, effect of normal and tangential forces on the torsional stiffness of section and second order geometrical nonlinearities are included in the model. The developed computer code is employed for nonlinear static analysis of RC sub-assemblages and a simple approach for extending the formulation to dynamic cases is presented. Dynamic progressive collapse assessment of RC space frames based on the alternate path method is undertaken and dynamic load factor (DLF) is estimated. Further, it is concluded that the torsional behaviour of reinforced concrete elements satisfying minimum standard requirements is not significant for the framed structures studied.

  • Gradient-type algorithms for adaptive IIR notch filters are very attractive in terms of both performances and computational requirements. Generally, it is quite difficult to assess their performances analytically. There have been several trials to analyze such adaptive algorithms as the sign and the plain gradient algorithms for some types of adaptive IIR notch filters, but many of them still remain unexplored. Furthermore, analysis techniques used in those trials can not be directly applied to different types of adaptive IIR notch filters. This paper presents a detailed performance analysis of the sign algorithm for a well-known adaptive IIR notch filter with constrained poles and zeros, which can not be done by just applying the related existing analysis techniques, and therefore has not been attempted yet. The steady-state estimation error and mean square error (MSE) of the algorithm are derived in closed forms. Stability bounds of the algorithm are also assessed. extensive simulations are conducted to support the analytical findings.

  • In the case of hospital buildings, where seismic design requirements are very high, existing structuresand especially those attacked by past earthquakes, appear, often, unable to fulfil the necessary safety prerequisites. In this paper, the retrofitting of hospital buildings is investigated, using alternative methods of repair and strengthening. Analysis of an existing hospital building in Patras, Greece, is performed. The load-bearing system is a reinforced concrete system. Two solutions are proposed: strengthening using concrete jackets around column and beam elements and application of viscoelastic dampers for the increase of the stability of the structure. Adequate finite element models are constructed for each case and conclusions are drawn on the efficiency of each rehabilitation method.

  • System integration is an important element for the construction of naval combat ships. In particular, because impeccable combat system integration together with the sensors and weapons can ensure the combat capability and survivability of the ship, the integrated performance of the combat system should be verified and validated whether or not it fulfills the requirements of the end user. In order to conduct systematic verification and validation, a data analysis tool is requisite. This paper suggests the Data Extraction, Recording and Analysis Tool (DERAT) for the data analysis of the integrated performance of the combat system, including the functional definition, architecture and effectiveness of the DERAT by presenting the test results.

  • Trust models in the literature of MANETs commonly assume that packets have different security requirements. Before a node forwards a packet, if the recipient's trust level does not meet the packet's requirement level, then the recipient must perform certain security association procedures, such as re-authentication. We present in this paper an analysis of the epidemic broadcast delay in such context. The network, mobility and trust models presented in this paper are quite generic and allow us to obtain the delay component induced only by the security associations along a path. Numerical results obtained by simulations also confirm the accuracy of the analysis. In particular, we can observe from both simulation's and analysis results that, for large and sparsely connected networks, the delay caused by security associations is very small compared to the total delay of a packet. This also means that parameters like network density and nodes' velocity, rather than any trust model parameter, have more impact on the overall delay.

  • Limit load of pressure bearing structures was reviewed in this article. By means of the finite element analysis, limit load of pressurized cylinder with nozzle was taken as an example. Stress classification method and Elastic-plastic finite element analysis combining with limit load determination methods were used to determine limit load of cylinder with nozzle. Comparison of limit load determined by different methods, the results indicated that limit load determined by linearization method was the smallest. Limit load determined by twice elastic slope criterion was the nearest than experimental results. Elastic-plastic finite element analysis had comparably computational precision, but required time consuming. And then the requirements of computer processing and storage capacity by power system became higher and higher. Most of criteria for limit load estimation included any human factors based on a certain substantive characteristics of experimental results. The reasonable criterion should be objective and operational.

  • Various studies have been undertaken in order to effectively understand customer requirements. Kano proposed a dualistic approach, physical fulfillment and customer satisfaction, to differentiate Attractive, Must-be, One-dimensional quality attributes. As there were a few limitations on the Kano's method, researchers have proposed improved methods. However, there have been few empirical evidences that the improved methods are superior to the original Kano's method for identifying relevant quality attributes. The objective of this study is to provide a comparative study on Kano and improved Kanomethods based on empirical analysis of quality attributes on University services. For the analysis of the questionnaire formats, the Kano's original 5 scale questionnaire is more effective than improved methods, direct and 3 scale questionnaire. For the analysis of evaluation methods, the original Kano and Timko's method using the evaluation table are more effective than quantifying methods, Domouchel and Lim's methods.

  • Having flexibility in a manipulator will degrade trajectory tracking control and manipulator tip positioning. In practice, however, constraints imposed by various operating requirements, will render the presence of such flexibility unavoidable. The dynamic analysis of the flexible manipulator is essential in designing proper control systems. A flexible manipulator consists of infinite number of elastic modes and the modes are usually coupled to each other. For the practicality, however, it is usually assumed that the flexible system consists of finite number of elastic modes and the modes are decoupled. These assumptions result in a linear and decoupled mathematical model of the flexible manipulator and simplify the analysis of the dynamic behavior and the design of the control system. The decoupling and linearization of the flexible link, however, has been assumed without in depth analysis. This paper focuses on the analysis of the significance of the non-linear coupling factors.

  • The simplest method which has been used extensively for vibration analysis is the transfer matrix method introduced by Myklestad and was later extended by many researchers. The crude approximation results in considerable error on the predicted natural frequencies and to increase the accuracy the number of elements used in the analysis must be increased. In addition, numerical instability can occur as a result of matrix multiplication. Also the main disadvantage of the finite element method is the large computer memory requirements for complex systems. The new method proposed in this paper combines the transfer matrix and finite dynamic element techniques to form a powerful algorithm for vibration analysis of rotor system. It is shown that the accuracy improves significantly when the transfer matrix for each segment is obtained from finite dynamic element techniques.
