In the change of clothing styles, sleeves, as one of the most important internal components of clothing, play a vital role in the overall modeling of clothing. In this paper, through the methods of data collection and induction analysis, the sleeve's external profile is geometrically classified and the internal structure design technique is summarized, and the stereoscopic thinking is applied to the design of the sleeve-type modeling sleeve's planar structure, so as to explore the pattern design methods and rules.

efficient modeling strategies are essential to predict the multiphysic behavior of advanced structures accurately.Therefore,the manuscript presents a higher-order formulation for the static analysis of laminated anisotropic magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved shell structures.The fundamental relations account for the full coupling between the electric field,magnetic field,and mechanical elasticity.The configuration variables are expanded along the thickness direction using a generalized formulation based on the Equivalent Layer-Wise approach.Higher-order polynomials are selected,allowing for the assessment of prescribed values of the configuration variables at the top and bottom sides of solids.In addition,an effective strategy is provided for modeling general surface distributions of mechanical pressures and electromagnetic external fluxes.The model is based on a continuum-based formulation which employs an analytical homogenization of the multifield material properties,based on Mori&Tanaka approach,of a magneto-electro-elastic composite material obtained from a piezoelectric and a piezomagnetic phase,with coupled magneto-electro-elastic effects.A semi-analytical Navier solution is applied to the fundamental equations,and an efficient post-processing equilibrium-based procedure is here used,based on the numerical assessment with the Generalized Differential Quadrature(GDQ)method,to recover the response of three-dimensional shells.The formulation is validated through various examples,investigating the multifield response of panels of different curvatures and lamination schemes.An efficient homogenization procedure,based on the Mori&Tanaka approach,is employed to obtain the three-dimensional constitutive relation of magneto-electro-elastic materials.Each model is validated against three-dimensional finite-element simulations,as developed in commercial codes.Furthermore,the full coupling effect between the electric and magnetic response is evaluated via a parametric investigation,with useful insights for design purposes of many engineering applications.The paper,thus,provides a formulation for the magneto-electro-elastic analysis of laminated structures,with a high computational efficiency,since it provides results with three-dimensional capabilities with a two-dimensional formulation.The adoption of higher-order theories,indeed,allows us to efficiently predict not only the mechanical response of the structure as happens in existing literature,but also the through-the-thickness distribution of electric and magnetic variables.A novel higher-order theory has been proposed in this work for the magneto-electro-elastic analysis of laminated shell structures with varying curvatures.This theory employs a generalized method to model the distribution of the displacement field components,electrostatic,and magneto-static potential,accounting for higher-order polynomials.The thickness functions have been defined to prescribe the arbitrary values of configuration variables at the top and bottom surfaces,even though the model is ESL-based.The fundamental governing equations have been derived in curvilinear principal coordinates,considering all coupling effects among different physical phenomena,including piezoelectric,piezomagnetic,and magneto-electric effects.A homogenization algorithm based on a Mori&Tanaka approach has been adopted to obtain the equivalent magneto-electro-mechanical properties of a two-phase transversely isotropic composite.In addition,an effective method has been adopted involving the external loads in terms of surface tractions,as well as the electric and magnetic fluxes.In the post-processing stage,a GDQ-based procedure provides the actual 3D response of a doubly-curved solid.The model has been validated through significant numerical examples,showing that the results of this semi-analytical theory align well with those obtained from 3D numerical models from commercial codes.In particular,the accuracy of the model has been verified for lamination schemes with soft layers and various curvatures under different loading conditions.Moreover,this formulation has been used to predict the effect of combined electric and magnetic loads on the mechanical response of panels with different curvatures and lamination schemes.As a consequence,this theory can be applied in engineering applications where the combined effect of electric and magnetic loads is crucial,thus facilitating their study and design.An existing limitation of this study is that the solution is that it is derived only for structures with uniform curvature,cross-ply lamination scheme,and simply supported boundary conditions.Furthermore,it requires that each lamina within the stacking sequence exhibits magneto-electro-elastic behavior.Therefore,at the present stage,it cannot be used for multifield analysis of classical composite structures with magneto-electric patches.A further enhancement of the research work could be the derivation of a solution employing a numerical technique,to overcome the limitations of the Navier method.In this way,the same theory may be adopted to predict the multifield response of structures with variable curvatures and thickness,as well as anisotropic materials and more complicated boundary conditions.Acknowledgement:The authors are grateful to the Department of Innovation Engineering of Univer-sity of Salento for the support.展开更多

In addition to previous research on the relationship between team structure and innovation performance, this study draws from an interesting experience-based theory advanced by Kelley and Littman (2005), which examines teams from design thinking perspective, and tests its contributions and effects on team's innovation performance. According to Kelley and Littman any team should include the following team roles: The anthropologist, the experimenter, the cross-pollinator, the hurdler, the collaborator, the director, the experience architect, the set designer, the storyteller, and the caregiver. We develop theoretical logics to explain how team structure that includes these key team roles and competences lead to a better innovation performance, and propose pertinent hypotheses. Experimental-empirical research and quantitative analysis were used in the study. The study conducted multiple experiments on three samples: a group of foreign entrepreneurship students, a group of technical students, and an additional group of randomly selected individuals, aged between 20 and 58, with diverse backgrounds. A special approach was implemented and a new instrument was developed to evaluate individuals in teams. While the results show that team that possess the major competences proposed by Kelley and Littman are more innovative, preliminary results also show that not all team roles are equally important. Moreover, team roles should be allocated equally among members for better collaboration, member satisfaction, and quick response, and within one team, one prevailing personality is optimal in terms of innovativeness. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research and managerial practice.展开更多
