The collapse behavior observed in single-story beam-column assembly (SSBCA) do not accurately represent the actual overall stress characteristic of multi-story frame structure (MSFS) under column loss scenario owing to ignoring the interaction action among different stories, leading to a disconnection between the anti-collapse behaviors of "components" and "overall structures", that is, the anti-collapse performance of frame structures with two different structural scales has not yet formed a combined force. This paper conducts a numerical and theoretical study to explore the difference of the collapse behaviors of the SSBCA and MSFS, and further to reveal the internal force relationships and boundary constraints at beam ends of models SSBCA and MSFS. Based on the previous experimental tests, the corresponding refined numerical simulation models were established and verified, and comparative analysis on the resistant-collapse performance was carried out, based on the validated modeling methods with considering the actual boundary constraints, and the results illustrates that the collapse behaviors of the SSBCA and MSFS is not a simple multiple relationship. Through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis, the development laws of internal force in each story beam under different boundary constraints was clarified, and the coupling relationship between the bending moment at the most unfavorable section and axial force in the composite beam of different stories of multi story frames with weld cover-plated flange connections was obtained. In addition, considering the effect of the yield performance of adjacent columns on the anti-collapse bearing capacities of the SSBCA and MSFS during the large deformation stages, the calculation formula for the equivalent axial stiffness at the beam ends of each story were provided.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a technique that forms a NOMA group composed of two or more users and transmits the superimposed signals of all users in the group through a single beam. In case all users in a NOMA group fall within the main lobe, a high data rate is guaranteed. However, in case not all users in the group fall within the main lobe due to the narrow beam width, the sum data rate decreases, and the data rate disparity between users inside and outside the main lobe widens significantly, leading to reduced fairness. On the other hand, an excessively wide beam might reduce the channel gain which lowers the sum data rate. This paper discusses the effects of beam configuration on the throughput and fairness performances of the NOMA system in the millimeter wave channel environments with simulation results for various channel parameters including the number of antennas and beam directions.

The broadband electrostatic noise has been observed in the boundary layer region of the earth's magnetosphers. These electrostatic waves believed to be generated by drifting ion beams in the matnetotail. We have shown the numerical simulation result of ion beam acoustic instability in the magnetotail. This instability heats both background and beam ion in the boundary layer of neutral sheet observed by satellite.

Optimum directivity synthesis of ultrasonic transducers in linear array is considered. To realize the desired directivity, a robust and efficient method is proposed which is the direct inversion combined with the iterative DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method. A quasi-ideal beam with the beam width and the steering beam angle specified are chosen for the numerical demonstrations. The demonstration is then extended to the case of multi-beams. The proposed combination method shows quick convergence over the single LMS or DFP method at the expense of the system matrix inversion.

Microtubules (MTs) are the main part of the cytoskeleton in living eukaryotic cells. In this article, a mechanical model of MT buckling, considering the modified strain gradient theory, is analytically examined. The MT is assumed as a cylindrical beam and a new single variable trigonometric beam theory is developed in conjunction with a modified strain gradient model. The main benefit of the present formulation is shown in its new kinematic where we found only one unknown as the Euler-Bernoulli beam model, which is even less than the Timoshenko beam model. The governing equations are deduced by considering virtual work principle. The effectiveness of the present method is checked by comparing the obtained results with those reported by other higher shear deformation beam theory involving a higher number of unknowns. It is shown that microstructure-dependent response is more important when material length scale parameters are closer to the outer diameter of MTs. Also, it can be confirmed that influences of shear deformation become more considerable for smaller shear modulus and aspect ratios.

High-strength steel composite Y-eccentrically braced frame (Y-HSS-EBF) is a novel structural system. In this study, the spatial substructure hybrid simulation test (SHST) method is used to further study the seismic performance of Y-HSS-EBF. Firstly, based on the cyclic loading tests of two single-story single-span Y-HSS-EBF planar specimens, a finite element model in OpenSees was verified to provide a reference for the numerical substructure analysis model for the later SHST. Then, the SHST was carried out on the OpenFresco test platform. A three-story spatial Y-HSS-EBF model was taken as the prototype, the top story was taken as the experimental substructure, and the remaining two stories were taken as the numerical substructure to be simulated in OpenSees. According to the test results, the validity of the SHST was verified, and the main seismic performance indexes of the SHST model were analyzed. The results show that, the SHST based on the OpenFresco platform has good stability and accuracy, and the results of the SHST agree well with the global numerical model of the structure. Under strong seismic action, the plastic deformation of Y-HSS-EBF mainly occurs in the shear link, and the beam, beam-columns and braces can basically remain in the elastic state, which is conducive to post-earthquake repair.

A fuzzy control strategy is described which is utilized to control the joint angle and tip deflection in single flexible manipulator. In this paper, an existing model for a single flexible manipulator is used for the initial development of an FLC. One FLC is designed to govern the joint angle of the manipulator as it is rotated from one position to another, and the second FLC is designed to attenuate the tip deflection which result from joint angle body motion. Reference Trajectory Command is an important method to reduce vibration in flexible beam. This paper presents a very simple command control shaping which eliminates multiple mode residual vibration in a flexible beam combined parallel fuzzy controller. The effectiveness of proposed scheme is demonstrated through computer simulation.

This study investigates the buckling behavior of CNTRC beams on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation, considering their stiffness. To achieve the highest accuracy, the shear stiffness is taken into account based on the Higher-order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT). A novel exponential power-law distribution of the CNT volume fraction across the beam thickness is employed to model CNTRC beams. Various reinforcement patterns are incorporated into the polymer matrix, featuring single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) that are both aligned and distributed. The effective mechanical properties of the CNTRC beam are predicted using the rule of mixtures. Hamilton's principle is applied to derive the differential equations of motion. This theoretical framework enables the validation of the approach by comparing numerical simulation results with previous studies. The impact of the exponent order (n), CNT volume fraction, geometrical ratio, and Winkler-Pasternak parameters on buckling analysis is thoroughly presented and discussed. The results indicate that, among the different types of analyzed CNTRC beams, the X-Beam pattern demonstrates the highest buckling load capacity.

Photo lithography process is very important technology to fabricate highly integrated micro patterns with high precision for semiconductor and display industries. Up to now, mask type lithography process has been generally used for this purpose; however, it is not efficient for small quantity and/or frequently changing products. Therefore, in order to obtain higher productivity and lower manufacturing cost, the mask type lithography process should be replaced. In this study, a maskless lithography system using the DMD(Digital Micromirror Device) is developed, and the exposure condition and optical properties are analyzed and simulated for a single beam case. From the proposed experimental conditions, required exposure experiments were preformed, and the results were investigated. As a results, 10${\mu}m$ spots can be generated at optimal focal length.

In this paper, applications of multilayer neural networks to control of flexible robot beam are considered. The multilayer nerual networks can be used to approximate any continuous function to a desired degree of accuracy and the weights are updated by Gradient Method. When a flexible beam is rotated by a motor through the fixed end, transverse vibration may occur. The motor torque should be controlled insuch a way that the motor rotates by a specified angle, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration of the flexible manipulators so that is arrested as soon as possbile at the end of rotation. Accurate control of lightweight beam during the large changes in configuration common to robotic tasks requires dynamic models that describe both rigid body motions, as well as the flexural vibrations. Therefore, a linear dynamic state-space model of for a single link flexible robot beam is derived and PD controller, LQP controller, and inverse dynamical neural networks controller are composed. The effectiveness the proposed control system is confirmed by computer simulation.
