Postbuckling of shear deformable stiffened anisotropic laminated cylindrical shell under axial compression

A postbuckling analysis is presented for a shear deformable anisotropic laminated cylindrical shell with stiffener of finite length subjected to axial compression. The material of each layer of the shell is assumed to be linearly elastic, anisotropic and fiber-reinforced. The governing equations are based on a higher order shear deformation shell theory with von Kármán-Donnell-type of kinematic nonlinearity and including the extension/twist, extension/flexural and flexural/twist couplings. The ‘smeared stiffener’ approach is adopted for the beam stiffeners. This arrangement allows the beam stiffeners to be assembled directly into the global stiffness matrix. The nonlinear prebuckling deformations and initial geometric imperfections of the shell are both taken into account. A singular perturbation technique is employed to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths. The numerical illustrations concern the postbuckling response of perfect and imperfect, grid, axial, ring stiffened, and unstiffened shells. The results confirm that there exists a compressive stress along with an associate shear stress and twisting when the anisotropic shell is subjected to axial compression. The postbuckling equilibrium path is unstable for the moderately thick cylindrical shell under axial compression and the stiffened shell structure is imperfection-sensitive.     

群的融合自由积的fnFrattini子群和fcFrattini子群

针对Azarian推广的任意多个子群的带循环融合自由积的Frattini子群的定理,提出了相应的关于fn-Frattini子群和fcFrattini子群的定理,并且从两个不同角度证明了结果。其中fnFrattini子群和fcFrattini子群分别定义为群的所有具有有限指数的极大正规子群的交和所有具有有限指数的极大特征子群的交,分别等于群的fn-非生成元和fc-非生成元组成的集合。进一步推广了Azarian和郭钦等相关定理。

Amenity migration to the global south: Implications for community development

Despite a growing trend of migration to countries in the global South fueled by their natural amenities (i.e., natural amenity migration), research on this topic has predominantly been conducted in the global North. This is problematic given the notable socioeconomic, attitudinal, and behavioral differences between amenity migrants (often urbanites from developed countries) and local people (often rural residents of developing countries). Grounded in community field theory, this study begins to fill this gap in the literature by increasing our understanding of the ways in which local residents and amenity migrants interact in the amenity-rich community of Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica. We found that linguistic, cultural, and spatial barriers (real and perceived) created a social climate in which the interaction between local residents and amenity migrants was primarily based on mundane interactions and did not lead to social integration. This proved to be a hindrance to the creation of the community field, which led to a lack of joint planning and participation in activities and projects that sought to improve the overall living conditions in the community. Explanations of these findings and the implications of such a divide are offered.     

Predicted ultimate capacity of laterally loaded piles in clay using support vector machine

The determination of ultimate capacity of laterally loaded pile in clay is a key parameter for designing the laterally loaded pile. The available methods for determination of ultimate resistance of pile in clay are not reliable. This study investigates the potential of a support vector machine (SVM)-based approach to predict the ultimate capacity of laterally loaded pile in clay. The SVM, which is firmly based on statistical learning theory, uses a regression technique by introducing an ?-insensitive loss function. A sensitivity analysis has been carried out to determine the relative importance of the factors affecting ultimate capacity. The results show that SVM has the potential to be a practical tool for prediction of the ultimate capacity of pile in clay.     

HHT法的基本原理及其应用探讨

以Timoshenko单跨梁为研究对象,采用回转射线矩阵法进行动力响应计算,针对Timoshenko梁的瞬态响应信号为非平稳信号,采用基于Hilbert—Huang变换原理的信号时频分析,并与FFT的处理结果进行对比分析。结果表明,HHT方法比Frr法更适合非平稳信号的分析和处理,同时,HHT方法不仅可以将瞬态信号中低频和高频部分分离出来,还可以通过Hilbert谱展示信号能量在时频域内的分布,更为深入的了解信号的本质。
