Recently,...A robust analytical model of Eccentric Braced Frames (EBFs), as a well-known seismic resistance system, helps to comprehensive earthquake-induced risk assessment of buildings in different performance levels. Recently, the modeling parameters have been introduced to simulate the hysteretic behavior of shear links in EBFs with specific Coefficient of Variation associated with each parameter to consider the uncertainties. The main purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of these uncertainties in the seismic response of EBFs by combining different sources of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties while making a balance between the required computational effort and the accuracy of the responses. This assessment is carried out in multiple performance levels using Endurance Time (ET) method as an efficient Nonlinear Time History Analysis. To demonstrate the method, a 4-story EBF that considers behavioral parameters has been considered. First, a sensitivity analysis using One-Variable-At-a-Time procedure and the ET method has been utilized to sort the parameters with regard to their importance in seismic responses in two intensity levels. A sampling-based reliability method is first used to propagate the modeling uncertainties into the fragility curves of the structure. Radial Basis Function Networks are then utilized to estimate the structural responses, which makes it feasible to propagate the uncertainties with an affordable computational effort. The Design of Experiments technique is implemented to acquire the training data, reducing the required data. The results show that the mathematical relationships defined by Artificial Neural Networks and using the ET method can estimate the median Intensity Measures and shifts in dispersions with acceptable accuracy.展开更多

Unlike any other theory, the number of unknown functions involved is only four, as against five in case of other shear deformation theories. The theory presented is variationally consistent, has strong similarity with classical plate theory in many aspects, does not require shear correction factor, and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation such that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically across the thickness satisfying shear stress free surface conditions. Two common types of functionally graded sandwich plates, namely, the sandwich with fimctionally graded facesheet and homogeneous core and the sandwich with homogeneous facesheet and functionally graded core, are considered. Governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. The closed-form solution of a simply supported rectangular plate subjected to sinu- soidal loading has been obtained by using the Navier method. The validity of the present theory is investigated by comparing some of the present results with those of the classical, the first-order and the other higher-order theories. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the static bending behavior of functionally graded sandwich plates.展开更多

Material properties of the BDFG plate change in both the thickness and length directions via power-law distributions and Mori-Tanaka model. The governing equation of motion of BDFG plate in the fluid-plate system is formulated basing on Hamilton's principle and the refined quasi three-dimensional (3D) plate theory with improved function f(z). The fluid velocity potential is derived from the boundary conditions of the fluid-plate system and is used to determine the added mass. The discrete system of equations is derived from the Galerkin weak form and numerically analyzed by IGA. The accuracy and reliability of the proposed solutions are verified by comparing the obtained results with those published in the literature. Moreover, the effects of the various parameters such as the interaction boundary condition, geometric parameter, submerged depth of plate, fluid density, fluid level, and the material volume control coefficients on the free vibration behavior of BDFG plate in the fluid medium are investigated in detail. Some major findings regarding the numerical results are withdrawn in conclusions.展开更多

This paper gives a theoretical formulation for the cross-correlation functions and cross-power spectra between the outputs under the assumption of white-noise excitation. It widens the field of modal analysis under ambient excitation because many classical methods by impulse response functions or frequency response functions can be used easily for modal analysis under unknown excitation. The Polyreference Complex Exponential method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm using cross-correlation functions in time domain and Orthogonal Polynomial method using cross-power spectra in frequency domain are applied to a steel frame to extract modal parameters under operational conditions. The modal properties of the steel frame from these three methods are compared with those from frequency response functions analysis. The results show that the modal analysis method using cross-correlation functions or cross-power spectra presented in this paper can extract modal parameters efficiently under unknown excitation.展开更多

Compared with ideal hydrodynamics without spin, additional terms at the first and second orders in the Knudsen number Κ_(n) and the average spin polarization Χ_(s) have been derived. The Wigner function can be expressed in terms of matrix-valued distributions, whose equilibrium forms are characterized by thermodynamical parameters in quantum statistics. The equations of motion for these parameters are derived by conservation laws at the leading and next-to-leading order Κ_(n) and Χ_(s).展开更多

Here, the linear distribution of electric potential across the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and five different types of carbon nanotube(CNT) distributions through the thickness direction are considered. Based on the four-variable shear deformation refined shell theory, governing equations are obtained by applying Hamilton's principle. Navier's solution for the shell panels with the simply supported boundary condition at all four edges is derived. Several numerical examples validate the accuracy of the presented solution. New parametric studies regarding the effects of different material properties, shell geometric parameters, and electrical boundary conditions on the free vibration responses of the hybrid panels are investigated and discussed in detail.展开更多

The information exchange and communication network established through computer software systems and electronic information technology has made each enterprise more relevant and more influential. Facing the impact of information technology, if the accounting work cannot be adjusted quickly, the whole enterprise management will face a collapse. Therefore, it seems that it is imperative to change the accounting function of enterprises under the information environment. This paper intends to start with the impact of information technology on accounting work, analyze the significance of accounting information, and discuss the optimization and quality improvement of accounting work under the information environment, hoping to bring some help to practitioners in the same industry.展开更多

文摘In most of real operational conditions only response data are measurable while the actual excitations are unknown, so modal parameter must be extracted only from responses. This paper gives a theoretical formulation for the cross-correlation functions and cross-power spectra between the outputs under the assumption of white-noise excitation. It widens the field of modal analysis under ambient excitation because many classical methods by impulse response functions or frequency response functions can be used easily for modal analysis under unknown excitation. The Polyreference Complex Exponential method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm using cross-correlation functions in time domain and Orthogonal Polynomial method using cross-power spectra in frequency domain are applied to a steel frame to extract modal parameters under operational conditions. The modal properties of the steel frame from these three methods are compared with those from frequency response functions analysis. The results show that the modal analysis method using cross-correlation functions or cross-power spectra presented in this paper can extract modal parameters efficiently under unknown excitation.

文摘Based on the Wigner function in local equilibrium, we derive hydrodynamical quantities for a system of polarized spin-1/2 particles: the particle number current density, the energy-momentum tensor, the spin tensor, and the dipole moment tensor. Compared with ideal hydrodynamics without spin, additional terms at the first and second orders in the Knudsen number Κ_(n) and the average spin polarization Χ_(s) have been derived. The Wigner function can be expressed in terms of matrix-valued distributions, whose equilibrium forms are characterized by thermodynamical parameters in quantum statistics. The equations of motion for these parameters are derived by conservation laws at the leading and next-to-leading order Κ_(n) and Χ_(s).

文摘This paper presents an analytical solution for the free vibration behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite(FG-CNTRC) doubly curved shallow shells with integrated piezoelectric layers. Here, the linear distribution of electric potential across the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and five different types of carbon nanotube(CNT) distributions through the thickness direction are considered. Based on the four-variable shear deformation refined shell theory, governing equations are obtained by applying Hamilton's principle. Navier's solution for the shell panels with the simply supported boundary condition at all four edges is derived. Several numerical examples validate the accuracy of the presented solution. New parametric studies regarding the effects of different material properties, shell geometric parameters, and electrical boundary conditions on the free vibration responses of the hybrid panels are investigated and discussed in detail.
文摘The development of global trade has transformed the global economy into an integrated form of market economy, and the progress of information technology has made this connection even closer. The information exchange and communication network established through computer software systems and electronic information technology has made each enterprise more relevant and more influential. Facing the impact of information technology, if the accounting work cannot be adjusted quickly, the whole enterprise management will face a collapse. Therefore, it seems that it is imperative to change the accounting function of enterprises under the information environment. This paper intends to start with the impact of information technology on accounting work, analyze the significance of accounting information, and discuss the optimization and quality improvement of accounting work under the information environment, hoping to bring some help to practitioners in the same industry.
文摘Objective: To analyze the application of refined nursing management in children with acute bronchitis and its effect on lung function. Methods: 80 children with acute bronchitis were selected from January 2019 to September 2020 in our hospital. They were randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing, while the refined nursing management group was established and implemented refined nursing management. The pulmonary function, hospitalization time and satisfaction degree were compared after nursing between the two groups. Results: the lung function of the refined nursing management group was higher than that of the control group, the hospitalization time was lower than that of the control group, and the satisfaction degree was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: refined nursing management is effective in nursing children with acute bronchitis, which can improve lung function, increase satisfaction and reduce hospitalization time.

文摘This article aims at studying two-direction refinable functions and two-direction wavelets in the setting R^s, s 〉 1. We give a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function belonging to L^2（R^s）. Then, two theorems are given for constructing biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction refinable functions in L^2（R^s） and their biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets, respectively. From the constructed biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets, symmetric biorthogonal （orthogonal） multiwaveles in L^2（R^s） can be obtained easily. Applying the projection method to biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets in L^2（R^s）, we can get dual （tight） two-direction wavelet frames in L^2（R^m）, where m ≤ s. From the projected dual （tight） two-direction wavelet frames in L^2（R^m）, symmetric dual （tight） frames in L^2（R^m） can be obtained easily. In the end, an example is given to illustrate theoretical results.

文摘Generalizing wavelets by adding desired redundancy and flexibility,framelets(i.e.,wavelet frames)are of interest and importance in many applications such as image processing and numerical algorithms.Several key properties of framelets are high vanishing moments for sparse multiscale representation,fast framelet transforms for numerical efficiency,and redundancy for robustness.However,it is a challenging problem to study and construct multivariate nonseparable framelets,mainly due to their intrinsic connections to factorization and syzygy modules of multivariate polynomial matrices.Moreover,all the known multivariate tight framelets derived from spline refinable scalar functions have only one vanishing moment,and framelets derived from refinable vector functions are barely studied yet in the literature.In this paper,we circumvent the above difficulties through the approach of quasi-tight framelets,which behave almost identically to tight framelets.Employing the popular oblique extension principle(OEP),from an arbitrary compactly supported M-refinable vector functionφwith multiplicity greater than one,we prove that we can always derive fromφa compactly supported multivariate quasi-tight framelet such that:(i)all the framelet generators have the highest possible order of vanishing moments;(ii)its associated fast framelet transform has the highest balancing order and is compact.For a refinable scalar functionφ(i.e.,its multiplicity is one),the above item(ii)often cannot be achieved intrinsically but we show that we can always construct a compactly supported OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight framelet derived fromφsatisfying item(i).We point out that constructing OEP-based quasi-tight framelets is closely related to the generalized spectral factorization of Hermitian trigonometric polynomial matrices.Our proof is critically built on a newly developed result on the normal form of a matrix-valued filter,which is of interest and importance in itself for greatly facilitating the study of refinable vector functions and multiwavelets/multiframelets.This paper provides a comprehensive investigation on OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated framelet transforms with high balancing orders.This deepens our theoretical understanding of multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated fast multiframelet transforms.
