Stress intensity factor of semi-infinite parallel crack propagation with constant velocity in dissimilar orthotropic strip under out-of-plane clamped desplacement is investigated. Using Fourier integral transforms the boundary value problem is derived by a pair of dual integral equation and finally reduced to a single Wiener-Hopf equation. By applying Wiener-Hopf technique the equation is solved. Applying this result the asymptotic stress fields near the crack tip are determined, from which the stress intensity factor is obtained in closed form. The more the ratio of anisotropy or the ratio of bi-material shear modulus increase in the main material including the crack, the more the stress intensity factor increases. Discontinuity in the stress intensity factor is found as the parallel crack approaches the interface. In special case, the results of isotropic materials agree well with those by the previous researchers.

The objective of this paper is to investigate buckling behavior of composite laminated cylinders by using semi-analytical finite strip method. The shell is subjected to deformation-dependent loads which remain normal to the shell middle surface throughout the deformation process. The load stiffness matrix, which is responsible for variation of load direction, is also throughout the deformation process. The shell is divided into several closed strips with alignment of their nodal lines in the circumferential direction. The governing equations are derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory with Sanders-type of kinematic nonlinearity. Displacements and rotations of the shell middle surface are approximated by combining polynomial functions in the meridional direction and truncated Fourier series along with an appropriate number of harmonic terms in the circumferential direction. The load stiffness matrix, which is responsible for variation of load direction, is also derived for each strip and after assembling, global load stiffness matrix of the shell is formed. The numerical illustrations concern the pressure stiffness effect on buckling pressure under various conditions. The results indicate that considering pressure stiffness causes buckling pressure reduction which in turn depends on various parameters such as geometry and lay-ups of the shell.

In this paper, we consider the design problem of robust stabilization and robust guaranteed cost state feedback controller for discrete-time singular systems with parameter uncertainties by LMI(linear matrix inequality) approach without semi-definite condition and decomposition of system matrices. The objective of robust stabilization controller is to construct a state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is regular, causal, and stable. In the case of robust guaranteed cost control, the optimal value of guaranteed cost and controller design method are presented on the basis of robust stabilization control technique. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the validity of the design methods.

Nowadays, according to rapid development of computing environments, information processing and analysis system are very interesting research area. As a viewpoint of data preparation-processing-analysis in knowledge technology, the goal of automated information system is to satisfy high reliability and confidence and to minimize of human-administrator intervention. In addition, we expect the system which can deal with problem and abnormal error effectively as a fault detection and fault tolerance. In this paper, we design a monitoring system as follows. A productive monitoring information from various systems has unstructured forms and characteristics and crawls informative data by conditions and gathering rules. For representing of monitering information which requested by administrator, running-status can be able to check dynamically and systematic like connection/closed status in real-time. Our proposed system can easily correct and processing for monitoring information from various type of server and support to make objective judgement and analysis of administrator under operative target of information system. We implement semi-realtime monitering system using AJAX technology for dynamic browsing of web information and information processing using XML and XPATH. We apply our system to SMS server for checking running status and the system shows that has high utility and reliability.

The non-linear behaviour of electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) dampers makes it difficult to design effective control strategies, and as a consequence a wide range of control systems have been proposed in the literature. These previous studies have not always compared the performance to equivalent passive systems, alternative control designs, or idealised active systems. As a result it is often impossible to compare the performance of different smart damper control strategies. This article provides some insight into the relative performance of two MR damper control strategies: on/off control and feedback linearisation. The performance of both strategies is benchmarked against ideal passive, semi-active and fully active damping. The study relies upon a previously developed model of an MR damper, which in this work is validated experimentally under closed-loop conditions with a broadband mechanical excitation. Two vibration isolation case studies are investigated: a single-degree-of-freedom mass-isolator, and a two-degree-of-freedom system that represents a vehicle suspension system. In both cases, a variety of broadband mechanical excitations are used and the results analysed in the frequency domain. It is shown that although on/off control is more straightforward to implement, its performance is worse than the feedback linearisation strategy, and can be extremely sensitive to the excitation conditions.

Minimal s-Urysohn and minimal s-regular spaces are studied. An s-Urysohn (respectively, s-regular) space (X, $\mathfrak{T}$) is said to be minimal s-Urysohn (respectively, minimal s-regular) if for no topology $\mathfrak{T}^{\prime}$ on X which is strictly weaker than $\mathfrak{T}$, (X, $\mathfrak{T}^{\prime}$) is s-Urysohn (respectively s-regular). Several characterizations and other related properties of these classes of spaces have been obtained. The present paper is a study of minimal P-spaces where P refers to the property of being an s-Urysohn space or an s-regular space. A P-space (X, $\mathfrak{T}$) is said to be minimal P if for no topology $\mathfrak{T}^{\prime}$ on X such that $\mathfrak{T}^{\prime}$ is strictly weaker than $\mathfrak{T}$, (X, $\mathfrak{T}^{\prime}$) has the property P. A space X is said to be s-Urysohn [2] if for any two distinct points x and y of X there exist semi-open set U and V containing x and y respectively such that $clU{\bigcap}clV={\phi}$, where clU denotes the closure of U. A space X is said to be s-regular [6] if for any point x and a closed set F not containing x there exist disjoint semi-open sets U and V such that $x{\in}U$ and $F{\subseteq}V$. Throughout the paper the spaces are assumed to be Hausdorff.

This paper describes the design of a robust adaptive fuzzy observer for uncertain nonlinear dynamical system. We propose a new method in which no strictly positive real (SPR) condition is needed. No a priori knowledge of an upper bound on the lumped uncertainty is required. The Lyapunov synthesis approach is used to guarantee a semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness property of the state observation error, as well as of all other signals in the closed-loop system. The theoretical results are illustrated through a simulation example of a mass-spring-damper system.

This paper presents a numerical study to develop a guideline for estimating the plastic strength of elliptical steel slit damper with reasonable accuracy. The strut width increases from middle to end in elliptical steel slit damper and it is observed from the past studies that variation of the width is not considered for calculating the plastic strength of the damper. It is also noticed that the existing formulas for predicting plastic strength of this kind of damper may not be accurate and further refinement is warranted. Study is then carried on elliptical steel slit damper made of mild steel and having different geometry to find out equivalency of it with oblong steel slit damper having similar plastic strength. A few three-dimensional finite element models of seismic moment connection system with steel slit damper are developed and validated against past experiments for carrying the present study considering both the material nonlinearity as well as geometric nonlinearity. The results of the parametric studies have been compared with energy quantities and presented graphically to better understand the effects of different parameters on the system. Based on the pattern of parametric study results, closed-form semi-empirical algebraic expression of damper plastic strength is developed for elliptical steel slit damper which shows very good agreement with finite element analysis as well as experiments. This developed expression can now be used for elliptical steel slit damper in replacement with any type of damper in the design of moment connection.

Refering to the articles "Squeezing rocks in tunnels(Barla, 1995)" and "Tunnelling under squeezing rock conditions(Barla 2002)" this article deals with technologies for design, stability analysis and construction of the tunnel being driven in the squeezing rock mass. The definition of this type of behavior was proposed by ISRM(1994). The identification and quantification of squeezing is given according to both the empirical and semi-empirical methods available to anticipate the potential of squeezing problems in tunnelling. Based on the experiences and lessons learned in recent years, the state of the art in modem construction methods was reported, when dealing with squeezing rock masses by either conventional or mechanical excavation methods. The closed-form solutions available for the analysis of the rock mass response during tunnel excavation are described in terms of the ground characteristic line and with reference to some elasto-plastic models for the given rock mass. Finally numerical methods were used for the simulation of different models and for design analysis of complex excavation and support systems, including three-dimensional conditions in order to quantify the influence of the advancing tunnel face to the deformation behavior of the tunnel.

In this paper, we present some general results on the pointwise convergence of the non-convolution type nonlinear singular integral operators in the following form: $$T_{\lambda}(f;x)={\large\int_{\Omega}}K_{\lambda}(t,x,f(t))dt,\;x{\in}{\Psi},\;{\lambda}{\in}{\Lambda}$$, where ${\Psi}$ = and ${\Omega}$ = stand for arbitrary closed, semi-closed or open bounded intervals in ${\mathbb{R}}$ or these set notations denote $\mathbb{R}$, and ${\Lambda}$ is a set of non-negative numbers, to the function $f{\in}L_{p,{\omega}}({\Omega})$, where $L_{p,{\omega}}({\Omega})$ denotes the space of all measurable functions f for which $\|{\frac{f}{\omega}}\|^p$ (1 ${\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$) is integrable on ${\Omega}$, and ${\omega}:{\mathbb{R}}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}^+$ is a weight function satisfying some conditions.
