Abstract:
Though it had been employed for limit analysis and integral safety assessment of pressure pipe and vessel, most of the elastic modulus adjustment procedures were applicable to simple structures because their load multiplier was mainly determined by stress. In this paper, a series of element bearing ratio (EBR) based load multiplier algorithms are given, in which the influence of both stress and material on limit load are included. The EBR based load multiplier algorithms are investigated, and two efficient algorithms are suggested. Then the two algorithms combined with the elastic modulus adjustment procedure of elastic modulus reduction method are applied to limit analysis and integral safety assessment of penstocks.

Abstract:
The simplification of two dimensional approaches in singular finite elements has promoted the method to be used in the formulation of stress intensity factor (SIF) of multiple cracks in finite body. The effect of shielding and amplification are considered in defining the SIF. As been observed, the current available analytical approximations are more restricted to several assumptions. The more accurate and less restricted method has motivated this study. This paper presents the investigation of singular finite elements applied in two dimensional finite element models subjected to different crack-width ratio and cracks interval ratio. The newly finite element formulations are resulted with good agreement with theoretical statement compared to analytical solution. The weak points of presented analytical solution are discussed regards to the influence of crack width ratio and cracks interval ratio.

Abstract:
Traditional methods for structural damage evolution and failure mode analysis usually depend on specific failure path analysis, which is inefficient and time-consuming to implement for complex structures. In this paper, an efficient failure path-independent methodology for structural damage evolution and failure mode analysis of framed structures is proposed based on the elastic modulus reduction method. The element bearing ratio, uniformity of element bearing ratio and reference element bearing ratio are defined in terms of the homogeneous generalized yield function of spatial beam element, while a dynamic criterion is presented to identify the highly stressed elements. Subsequently, a self-adaptive strategy of elastic modulus adjustment is developed to reduce the elastic moduli of the highly stressed elements for simulation of structural damage evolution. Finally, the reduction rate of elastic moduli of the highly stressed elements is presented to determine the failed sections among the failure elements in the last iteration, based on which the potential failure mode is identified. The applicability, computational accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methodology are validated by comparing with the elasto-plastic methods through two numerical examples.

The operation principle of anti-resonance vibration machine was analyzed. The dynamic model of anti-resonance vibration machine with nonlinear spring was established. A new method for solving nonlinear equation based on general finite element method was put forward, the solution was compared with numerical solution, the validity of the solving method was validated. Then the affection of nonlinear and dynamics parameters to the amplitude stabilization was analyzed. the conclusion can be drown as: when the anti-resonance frequency ratio is 1~2,increase the nonlinear of spring can improve the amplitude stabilization, when the anti-resonance ratio is bigger than 3,there is less affection to the amplitude stabilization by nonlinear of spring. The amplitude stabilization can be improved by increasing anti-resonance frequency ratio.

In this paper, Finite element modeling of the impact of the Kevlar woven fabric using hybrid element analysis (HEA) method has been carried out to find out a suitable ratio between area of solid elements used at impact region and area of shell elements used away from impact region. Three HEA models: about one time, two times and three times of the projectile’s diameter with 200 m/s impact velocities are constructed. The solid and shell elements with variable nodal thickness are joined together using tied interfaces in order to ensure that there are no artificial reflections of the longitudinal wave at the interface. The effect of the different ratio of local area and global area on the ballistic performance of the fabric is discussed.

A new kind of mild steel damper which use corrugated plate as energy-intensive steel plate is proposed in this paper. The structures and energy dissipation principles of the new type damper are presented. The hysteretic performances of corrugated mild steel damper with different height-thickness ratio, or with the same height-thickness ratio but with different thickness are analysed by numerical simulation with ABAQUS platform and then parameter study on this kind of damper in detail. The results show that the corrugated steel damper has good and stable energy dissipation performance. The performance of energy consumption increases with the decreasing of height-thickness ratio. When at the same height-thickness ratio, the performance of energy consumption increases with the thickness of energy-intensive steel plate.

Abstract:
SummaryP-element mutagenesis was used to contaminate M-strain second chromosomes with P elements. The effect of P-element transposition on abdominal and sternopleural bristle scores and on female productivity was deduced by comparing the distributions of these quantitative traits among the contaminated second-chromosome lines with a control population of M-strain second-chromosome lines free of P elements. Estimates of P-element-induced mutational variance, Vm, for these characters are very high, and mutational ‘heritabilities’ (Vm/Ve, the ratio of mutational variance to environmental variance) are of the same order as heritabilities of these traits from natural populations. P-element-induced mutational variance of abdominal bristle score is roughly two orders of magnitude greater than spontaneous and X-ray-induced Vm/Ve for this trait.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with large deformation analysis of plane beams composed of functionally graded (FG) elastic material with a variable Poisson’s ratio. Design/methodology/approach The material is assumed to be linear elastic, with a Poisson’s ratio varying according to a power law along the thickness direction. The finite element used is a plane beam of any-order of approximation along the axis, and with four transverse enrichment schemes, which can describe constant, linear, quadratic and cubic variation of the strain along the thickness direction. Regarding the constitutive law, five materials are adopted: two homogeneous limiting cases, and three intermediate FG cases. The effect of both finite element kinematics and distribution of Poisson’s ratio on the mechanical response of a cantilever is investigated. Findings In accordance with the scientific literature, the second scheme, in which the transverse strain is linearly variable, is sufficient for homogeneous long (or thin) beams under bending. However, for FG short (or moderate thick) beams, the third scheme, in which the transverse strain variation is quadratic, is needed for a reliable strain or stress distribution. Originality/value In the scientific literature, there are several studies regarding nonlinear analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) via finite elements, analysis of FGMs with constant Poisson’s ratio, and geometrically linear problems with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. However, very few deal with finite element analysis of flexible beams with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. In the present study, a reliable formulation for such beams is presented.

Introduction: Metal elements and their excess intake have significant influence on general health. Aim: There is only little information how Far Eastern herbs resemble European’s regarding their purity and essential metal element content. The aim of the authors was to determine metal elements in different Chinese and European herbs and extracts. Method: The studied European herbs included Calendula officinalis petals, Achillea millefolium, Epilobium parviflorum herba, Urtica dioica leaves, Crataegus monogyna flowers while Far Eastern herbs were Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Ginkgo biloba leaves, Panax ginseng and Curcuma longa roots. The analysis was performed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Results: There was no considerable difference in essential metal elements and the Ca:Mg concentration ratio between European and Far Eastern drugs and extracts. Conclusions: The extracts are preferential metal element sources and their magnesium content are also advantageous, because of a shift of the Ca:Mg concentration ratio towards magnesium. Orv.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present a simple methodology to design curved shell finite elements based on Nzengwa-Tagne’s shell equations. The element has three degrees of freedom at each node. The displacements field of the element satisfies the exact requirement of rigid body modes in a ‘shifted-Lagrange’ polynomial basis. The element is based on independent strain assumption insofar as it is allowed by the compatibility equations. The element developed herein is first validated on analysis of benchmark problems involving a standard shell with simply supported edges. Examples illustrating the accuracy improvement are included in the analysis. It showed that reasonably accurate results were obtained even when using fewer elements compared to other shell elements. The element is then used to analyse spherical roof structures. The distribution of the various components of deflection is obtained. Furthermore, the effect of introducing concentrated load on a cylindrical clamped ends structure is investigated. It is found that the CSFE3-sh element considered is a very good candidate for the analysis of general shell structures in engineering practice in which the ratio h/R ranges between 1/1000 and 2/5.

Finite element (FE) method is used to study the vibration behavior of armchair and zigzag double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs). In the analysis, nonlinear spring elements and the Lennard-Jones potential function are used to simulate the Van der Waals' force between non-bond atoms of different tube layers. We systematically analyze the effects of aspect ratio, double-atom vacancy defects and Van der Waals' force on the vibration behavior of DWCNTs. The simulation results show that the first order natural frequency decreases with the increase of length-to-diameter ratio (aspect ratio), the existence of Van der Waals' force causes the increase of natural frequency, and double-atom vacancy defects results in the decrease of each order natural frequency.

Abstract:
The mechanical models formed by packed circular discrete elements were used to investigate the mechanical properties of Si3N4. In these models, the distribution of elements is random in the specified region, and the average radius of elements is 6m. The main mechanical properties investigated here are Young’s modulus, compressive strength, Poisson’s ratio, fracture toughness and bending strength. Some numerical simulation analysis of the size effect of the mechanical properties in these discrete element models were carried out. The simulation results suggest that there is no obvious size effect for Young’s modulus, compressive strength and Poisson’s ratio in these discrete element models. However, for bending strength, when the number of elements in model is less than about 9000, there exists obvious size effect, with the increasing of the number of the elements, the size effect will become less and less until disappeared. The value of fracture toughness decreases with the increasing of the number of the model elements. The classical continuum fracture mechanics model about material fracture under tensile stress is also established by discrete element method. The simulation results are just the same as the simulation results of single edge notched bending (SENB) and the experimental values reported in other literatures. The results provide a more reliable foundation for the application of DEM in simulating the mechanical behaviors of advance ceramics.

Abstract:
Numerical study of natural convection flow induced by two isothermally heated elements located on adiabatic vertical plate immersed in a Darcian porous medium is carried out in the present article. The natural convection is affected by the Rayleigh number, the separation distance between the elements, their temperature ratio, and the length of the upper element. The numerical results are presented as average Nusselt number versus Rayleigh number for wide ranges of the governing parameters. It is found that the heat transfer from the lower element is not affected by the presence of the upper element for equal temperatures of the elements. The heat transfer from the lower element can be enhanced by increasing the temperature of the upper element due to the suction effect. The average Nusselt number along the upper heated element is found to increase with the increase of any of the governing parameters.

The two new mutants, along with the previously described a-ruq mutant, are nonautonomous in mutability control in that the control of mutability is governed by the segregating Uq regulatory element. By following the distribution of different Uq elements segregating in independently derived genetic lines and utilizing tests of allelism and linkage, certain lineages of Uq-element-containing lines are revealed.

Two new algorithms of the reference element bearing ratio, reference element bearing ratio based on reference stress (REBS) and reference element bearing ratio based on integral element bearing ratio gradient (REBG), are proposed. Numerical examples show that the problems of instability and non-convergence in iterative process of limit analysis of SCF are improved, when the REBS or REBG is used in the strategy of elastic modulus adjustment of the EMRM.

Abstract:
Aging building structure has become a world problem. This problem is particularly serious in developing and underdeveloped countries. The multihazard resilience and sustainability (e.g., seismic performance) decrease at the aging building. A construction method for strengthening aging-reinforced concrete buildings by wrapping structural members with carbon fiber sheets has been proposed and implemented in recent years. Authors aim to develop a seismic retrofitting method of aging concrete structural wall with a rectangular cross section using carbon fiber sheets. In this paper, authors examined the stress-strain relationship of concrete elements with rectangular cross sections reinforced by wrapping with carbon fiber sheets. Monotonic uniaxial compression tests were performed on 21 specimens using the ratio of the long side to the short side and the ratio of the element height to the short side of the concrete cross section, the weight of the carbon fiber sheet, and the chamfer radius of section corners as variables. The tests revealed that (1) the compressive strength decreases and ultimate strain increases as the ratio of the long to short side (longitudinal ratio) of the cross section increases even in a range the ratio exceeds 2 and (2) the ratio of the element height to the short side does not significantly affect the stress-strain relationship. Furthermore, authors proposed evaluation formulas for the constitutive law of concrete elements with rectangular cross sections including the longitudinal ratio which exceeds 2 reinforced by carbon fiber sheets and confirmed that the formulas can reproduce the test results with good accuracy.

Full text
Abstract:
This research purposed a new family of finite elements for spherical thick shell based on Nzengwa-Tagne’s model proposed in 1999. The model referred to hereafter as N-T model contains the classical Kirchhoff-Love (K-L) kinematic with additional terms related to the third fundamental form governing strain energy. Transverse shear stresses are computed and C0 finite element is proposed for numerical implementation. However, using straight line triangular elements does not guarantee a correct computation of stress across common edges of adjacent elements because of gradient jumps. The gradient recovery method known as Polynomial Preserving Recovery (PPR) is used for local interpolation and applied on a hemisphere under diametrically opposite charges. A good agreement of convergence results is observed; numerical results are compared to other results obtained with the classical K-L thin shell theory. Moreover, simulation on increasing values of the ratio of the shell shows impact of the N-T model especially on transverse stresses because of the significant energy contribution due to the third fundamental form tensor present in the kinematics of this model. The analysis of the thickness ratio shows difference between the classical K-L theory and N-T model when the ratio is greater than 0.099.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to study free vibration analysis of thick plates resting on Winkler foundation using Mindlin’s theory with first order finite element, to determine the effects of the thickness/span ratio, the aspect ratio, subgrade reaction modulus and the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of thick plates subjected to free vibration. In the analysis, finite element method is used for spatial integration. Finite element formulation of the equations of the thick plate theory is derived by using first order displacement shape functions. A computer program using finite element method is coded in C++ to analyze the plates free, clamped or simply supported along all four edges. In the analysis, 4-noded finite element is used. Graphs are presented that should help engineers in the design of thick plates subjected to earthquake excitations. It is concluded that 4-noded finite element can be effectively used in the free vibration analysis of thick plates. It is also concluded that, in general, the changes in the thickness/span ratio are more effective on the maximum responses considered in this study than the changes in the aspect ratio.

Abstract:
In this study, the elastic buckling behavior of general dome ends under presumed temperature distribution and external pressure was studied. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to predict the elastic buckling pressure behavior when the domes were subjected to various operating temperatures. The freedom of the edges of the dome ends was completely restricted to simulate clamped end conditions. The four-centered ellipse method was used to construct the geometry of the dome ends. The influence of geometrical parameters such as thickness, knuckle radius, and the ratio of minor axis to the major axis of dome ends and the effect of temperature on critical buckling pressure of hemispherical, ellipsoidal, and torispherical dome ends were studied. It has been found that the under thermal condition, the thickness and the shape of the domes have the most significant effect on the critical buckling pressure. Two models of torispherical and ellipsoidal dome ends are analyzed by using finite element analysis.

Abstract:
Purpose – The analysis of the effect of tool vibrations on the measured and simulated draught forces of cultivator tools. This paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – Soil bin measurements and discrete element method (DEM)-based simulations. Findings – The soil-tool interaction induced free vibrations of cultivator tools have significant impact on the measured draught force, and the simulations made by using vibrating tools give similar results. Research limitations/implications – Accurate calibration of discrete element model parameters can be done based on the reproduction of the whole Mohr-Coulomb failure line. Draught force ratio – velocity ratio values seem to be independent of tool geometry and soil conditions in case of velocity ratio higher than 2. Practical implications – DEM-based numerical simulations can be used for modeling the effect of tool vibration on the draught force values. During discrete element simulations of soil-tool interaction, the effect of tool vibration may not be neglected. Originality/value – The paper demonstrates that during the discrete element modelling of the soil-tool interaction, the tool vibration phenomenon should not be neglected.

Abstract:
Limit bearing capacity analysis of structure system with different types of element (SSDE) is difficult to elastic modulus adjustment procedures. In this paper, elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM) is introduced for evaluation of the limit bearing capacity of SSDE, using the element bearing ratio (EBR) as the governing parameter. As a dimensionless quantity, the EBR can be used to measure the bearing state of every element, and the scheme of reducing elastic modulus can be expressed using a uniform equation for different types of element. When the structure system destroys, all elements will tend to reach their own strength. The algorithm is then extended to the plastic limit analysis of SSDE. Numerical examples are employed to demonstrate the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of the method.

Abstract:
According to the motion features of abrasive particles and workpieces in centrifugal roller, considering the abrasive particles and workpieces as two kinds of ball particles with different materials and sizes, 3-Dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used to build the dynamics model of single abrasive particles and workpieces motion. Based on such model, in this paper, the influence of rotation-revolution ratio on medium movement was mainly analyzed. Supposing filling ratio as 20%, mixing ratio as 1.5:1 and revolution speed as 180r/min, the movement procedure of medium within centrifugal roller was respectively simulated under the different cases of rotation-revolution ratio as -0.13, -1 and -2, then the velocity variation diagram and the average contact forces diagram for abrasive particles or workpieces under different rotation-revolution ratio were obtained, the simulation results are basically coincident to the experimental results. Both results have proved that rotation-revolution ratio is the main parameter that changes medium motion law, which provides a very efficient way to further optimize design parameters and process parameters, as well as to improve production efficiency.

Abstract:
In terms of various applications of linear motor, there are different design objectives with varying concerns. In this paper, the objective is to obtain the slot/pole ratio for tubular permanent-magnet linear synchronous motor (TPMLSM). Direct-axis current analysis and finite element technique are utilized to investigate the optimal slot/slot ratio design of the TPMLSM. Based on electrical angle drift of slots between two neighboring permanent magnets, the slot/pole ratio (SPR), one of the key factors in design, is deduced by direct-axis current analysis. In contrast to those experiment methods, the proposed technique is convenient and swift; moreover it is proven that the method is efficient by 2-D axisymmetic finite element analysis.

Abstract:
Time reversal (TR) can achieve temporal and spatial focusing by exploiting spatial diversity in complex underwater environments with significant multipath. This property makes TR useful for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications. Conventional TR is realized by performing equal gain combining (EGC) on the single element TR output signals of each element of the vertical receive array (VRA). However, in the actual environment, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the received noise power of each element are different, which leads to the reduction of the focusing gain. This paper proposes a time reversal maximum ratio combining (TR-MRC) method to process the received signals of the VRA, so that a higher output SNR can be obtained. The theoretical derivation of the TR-MRC weight coefficients indicates that the weight coefficients are only related to the input noise power of each element, and are not affected by the multipath structure. The correctness of the derivation is demonstrated with the experimental data of the long-range UWA communications conducted in the South China Sea. In addition, the experimental results illustrate that compared to the conventional TR, TR-MRC can provide better performance in terms of output SNR and bit error rate (BER) in UWA communications.

Abstract:
When conducting nonlinear analysis of frame structure, we usually adopt plastic hinge model or plastic zone model which based on bending beam theory. But the effect of shear deformation on element deformation are not considered in the analysis model established based on bending beam theory, which is only applicable to the elements with large span depth ratio. For the main structure of steel mega-frame structures, the depth of element section is very high. Thus it can not meet bending beam theory assumption. The common analysis model can not simulate structure reaction accurately. This article puts forward some treatment methods for existing problems of nonlinear analysis of steel mega-frame structures, establish member element stiffness matrix based on improved finite segment element plastic zone model and consider the effect of element shear deformation on plastic development.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to study shear locking-free parametric earthquake analysis of thick and thin plates resting on Winkler foundation using Mindlin’s theory, to determine the effects of the thickness/span ratio, the aspect ratio and the boundary conditions on the linear responses of thick and thin plates subjected to earthquake excitations. In the analysis, finite element method is used for spatial integration and the Newmark-β method is used for the time integration. Finite element formulation of the equations of the thick plate theory is derived by using higher order displacement shape functions. A computer program using finite element method is coded in C++ to analyze the plates clamped or simply supported along all four edges. In the analysis, 8-noded finite element is used. Graphs are presented that should help engineers in the design of thick plates subjected to earthquake excitations. It is concluded that 8-noded finite element can be effectively used in the earthquake analysis of thick plates. It is also concluded that, in general, the changes in the thickness/span ratio are more effective on the maximum responses considered in this study than the changes in the aspect ratio.

The finite element software ANSYS/CivilFEM was applied to analyses the influence of steel bar restraint on creep and shrinkage of reinforced concrete. The analysis results are in good agreement with the experiment results. When the reinforcement ratio is low, the steel bar exerts less influence on creep and shrinkage, and the influence of steel bar can be neglected in engineering application. However, the reinforcement can effectively reduce creep and shrinkage development when the reinforcement ratio is high.

The temperature field analysis method of steel tubes reinforced columns under fire by finite element analysis software ABAQUS is proposed in this paper. The theoretical method is validated by tests, and the calculated results agree well with those of tests. On the basis of that, the influencing laws of section perimeter; steel reinforcement ratio and sectional core area ratio on temperature field are discussed. It has been found that the effects of section size and sectional core area ratio on temperature field are significant, but steel ratio has very little effect on temperature both of steel tube and of sectional center. These achievements make it possible to study further theoretical study on the fire resistance of steel tube reinforced concrete columns.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model for single-walled carbon nanotubes with armchair and zigzag shapes is proposed in this paper (SWCNTs). Nodes are positioned at the locations of carbon atoms to design the FE models. And three-dimensional elastic beam components are used to model the bonds between them. The effect of the diameter length/diameter ratio on the diameter length/diameter ratio, cross sectional aspect ratio and number of elements on the Young’s modulus of SWCNTs has been considered herein. From the conducted experiments it can be observed that, the larger tube diameter can lead to higher Young’s modulus for carbon nanotubes. Such that, maximum elastic modulus for the armchair and the zigzag models has be obtained to be 1.0285TPa and 1.0396TPa when the diameters for the armchair and the zigzag models were 2.034nm and 1.957nm respectively. Increasing the length/diameter ratio has led the Young’s modulus to be increased for armchair and zigzag models such that its values can reach 1.0451TPa and 1.0191TPa respectively. The cross sectional aspect ratio of SWCNTs showed an inversely proportional effect on the elastic modulus in this work. As a result of rising the cross sectional aspect ratio to be2, the Young's modulus for armchair and zigzag models has decreased to 0.7991TPa and 0.8873TPa, accordingly. The change in geometry has been observed to be a defect and it is in general can decrease the modulus of elasticity. The number of elements in the armchair model considered as prominent factor that increases the young’s modulus to be 1.0280TPa when the number of element is 10836. In zigzag model, the number of element has no effect on the elastic modulus since the number of nodes that exposed to the applied load is fixed in this case. The findings showed that the proposed FE model may be useful for studying carbon nanotube mechanical action in the future.

Abstract:
The paper considers the application of the analytical method - the method of direct integration - to the calculation of building structures in the form of round and annular plates and slabs lying on a continuous variable elastic basis. The application of the proposed approach allowed to obtain solutions of a wide class of problems, the mathematical summary of which are differential equations with variable coefficients or systems of such equations, and at the same time to evaluate the possibilities and accuracy of calculation of finite elements. The base reaction is described by the Winkler model with a variable bed ratio. With respect to the bending of round and annular plates, formulas for the function of deflections and its derivatives, transverse force and bending moments are obtained. The method is applicable under any given boundary conditions on the contours. The calculation is reduced to determining from the given boundary conditions of the unknown constants of integration and numerical realization of the obtained solutions. The found formulas of the general form are transformed for practically important case when the factor of a bed and loading have the form of polynomials. It is shown that in this case dimensionless fundamental functions are represented by static series. To calculate the coefficients of static series, the corresponding recurrent relations are derived. The calculations show that the discrepancy in the results of the calculation of the deflections of the FEA and the author’s method (AM) is insignificant (not more than 1%), and the results of the calculation of radial and circumferential moments differ significantly, and this difference sometimes reaches 12-14%. However, when the grid is condensed in the circumferential direction, the picture changes, there is a convergence of the results obtained by two methods. This indicates the inaccuracy of the finite element analysis performed on the basis of automatic partitioning of the finite element grid. And this, in turn, leads to "blind" reinforcement of reinforced concrete slabs, in which it is possible, both re-reinforcement of the structure and its insufficient reinforcement.

Abstract:
Fish Cells as a new metamaterial with zero Poisson’s ratio in two planar directions is introduced with application in morphing aircraft skin. In order to tailor the design of this metamaterial for arbitrary loadings, equivalent elastic properties of the Fish Cells metamaterial are derived and analyzed using analytical and numerical methods. The admissible range of geometric parameters is presented and variation of elastic properties with parameters is studied. The effective elastic modulus of the metamaterial is derived analytically and verified with finite element models. The in-plane and transverse shear modulus of the metamaterial are evaluated using finite element analysis where accurate periodic boundary conditions for in-plane shear loading are investigated. The lower and upper bounds of the transverse shear modulus are derived based on strain and complementary energy relations which are verified with finite element results. As zero Poisson’s ratio behavior of the Fish Cells topology is proved, derivative geometries from this topology with zero Poisson’s ratio behavior are also presented.

Abstract:
The geometric structures of the mold and embossing conditions can obviously influence the filling flows in the polymeric patterns. In this study, embossing stamp and substrate with different geometries are used to investigate the flow behavior under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. In general, for the stamp, small duty ratio cavity fills more sufficiently than large duty ratio cavity. With the same cavity duty ratio, inner cavity fills more quickly and sufficient than outer cavity. Compared to multiple cavities stamp, individual cavity fills more slowly, especially embossed with the stamp having small duty ratio cavity. Under non-isothermal embossing, the filling flow indicates a wall climbing flow and the polymer flow replaces the outer cavity better. Uncommon substrate provides a limitation of out-squeezing flow from polymer layers, so the polymer pick reaches the mold faster than common substrate like the flat. The present simulation study provides an analysis of the mold geometry especially the substrate geometry to govern filling flow and replication fidelity.

Fatigue crack growth was simulated by using a newly developed unified model on the fatigue initiation and crack growth based on an incremental multiaxial fatigue criterion. The cyclic elastic-plastic stress-strain field was analyzed using the general-purpose finite element software (ABAQUS) with the implementation of a robust cyclic plasticity theory. The fatigue crack growth rates with respect to three different stress ratios were selected as the benchmark to check the unified model. The predicted results agreed with the experimental data very well. The insensitivity of the crack growth rate to the stress ratio is due to the fast mean stress relaxation.

Abstract:
SummarySeventeen highly-inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster extracted from an M′ strain (in the P/M system of hybrid dysgenesis) were studied for their cytotype and the number and chromosomal location of complete and defective P elements. While most lines were of M cytotype, three presented a P cytotype (the condition that represses P-element activity) and one was intermediate between M and P. All lines were found to possess K.P elements and only eight to bear full-sized P elements. Only the lines with full-sized P elements showed detectable changes in their P-insertion pattern over generations; their rates of gain and of loss of P-element sites were equal to 0·12 and 0·09 per genome, per generation, respectively. There was no correlation between these two rates within lines, suggesting independent transpositions and excisions in the inbred genomes. The results of both Southern blot analysis and in situ hybridization of probes made from left and right sides of the P element strongly suggested the presence of a putative complete P element in region 1A of the X chromosome in the three lines with a P cytotype; the absence of P copy in this 1A region in lines with an M cytotype, favours the hypothesis that the P element inserted in 1A could play a major role in the P-cytotype determination. Insertion of a defective 2 kb P element was also observed in region 93F in 9 of the 13 M lines. The regulation of the P-element copy number in our lines appeared not to be associated with the ratio of full-length and defective P elements.

Then, the nonlinear finite element method was applied to analyze a set of medium-height RC shear wall components designed according to current Chinese codes. Parametric studies were made of the influence of shear span ratio λ, axial compression ratio μ and main flexural reinforcement ratio of confined boundary members ρflex. Finally, the deformation performance index and its limits of the medium-height RC shear wall components under severe earthquakes are presented by the finite element model results.
