Two stress fields, combination of total stresses, liquid pressure and gas pressure have to be considered to explain the deformational behaviour of unsaturated media. Elastoplastic models developed for. these materials consider generally two yield surfaces, each one associated to a stress field, and whose intersection produces a corner in the space of generalised stress components. In this paper, a stress point algorithm is proposed to cope with the integration of such constitutive laws, which can be seen as non smooth multisurface plastic models in the space of the two stress fields. The basic model developed by Alonso et al. (Alonso, E.E., Gens, A., 1990. A constitutive model for partially saturated soils. Geotechnique 40 (3), 405-430), which will be used to test the algorithm, is first described. Generalised stress and strain variables are then defined. Implementation of the return mapping algorithm, based on an implicit integration scheme, is presented with special attention devoted to the problem of mixed control imposed by the F.E. formulation generally used to analyse the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated media. Validation results on distinct generalised stress paths are given at the end. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Computation of an ARMA covariance function is a common ingredient in analysis and synthesis of various problems in stochastic control, estimation, and signal processing, Several approaches can be used for this purpose. In this paper, we present an algorithm based on simple polynomial calculations. Compared with alternative strategies, it has small computational load, shows good numerical robustness, and can be extended to handle multivariable ARMA processes, even with complex-valued coefficients.

This work approximates the unknown functions based on the Bernstein polynomials and hybrid Bernstein Block-Pulse functions, in conjunction with the collocation method for the numerical solution of system of Fredholm-Volterra integral equations. In both methods, the system of integral equations is approximated by the Gauss quadrature formula with respect to the Legendre weight function. The proposed methods reduce the system of integral equations to a system of algebraic equations that can be easily solved by any usual numerical methods. Moreover, the convergence analysis of these algorithms will be shown by preparing some theorems. numerical experiments are presented to show the superiority and efficiency of proposed methods in comparison with some other well known methods.

This study proposes to extend the numerical algorithm for subspace state space system identification (N4SID) for power grid electromechanical dynamics monitoring using the multi-channel noisy synchrophasor measurements. The oscillation modes, mode shapes, participation factors and coherent groups are estimated in a comprehensive manner. It consists of five key steps: (i) estimation of power system state subspace model via N4SID;(ii) electromechanical modes discrimination from the trivial modes by developing the generalised inverse and mode assurance criterion;(iii) calculations of the mode shapes using the estimated states and output subspace matrices;(iv) estimation of participation factors estimated by the calculated mode shapes and (v) the generator coherency identification by developing the direction cosine denoted coherency inductor. Test results on the IEEE 16-machine 68-bus test system and the practical China Southern power Grid using field synchrophasor measurements are performed. Comparison results with other existing methods show that the proposed method achieves better accuracy and efficiency for power system electromechanical dynamics monitoring in the presence of measurement noise.

The equations of nonaxisymmetric vibrations of sandwich cylindrical shells with discrete core under nonstationary loading are presented. The components of the elastic structure are analyzed using a refined Timoshenko theory of shells and rods. The numerical method used to solve the dynamic equations is based on the integro-interpolation method of constructing finite-difference schemes for equations with discontinuous coefficients. The dynamic problem for a sandwich cylindrical shell under distributed nonstationary loading is solved with regard for the discreteness of the core.

This study presents a new analytic approach to optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays. This approach is based on the selection of optimum pickup current and time dial setting, in order to obtain minimum operating time for the relays, while satisfying various coordination and boundary constraints. Based on the new optimal relay setting procedure, an iterative numerical solution is proposed. The proposed numerical algorithm converges to the global optimum values, which are independent of initial values and the order of relay setting. The proposed method is applied to three different test systems. The new method is compared with some previously proposed analytic and evolutionary approaches. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method over the previous works.

This paper proposes and investigates an online motion planning and feedback control (OMPFC) scheme for redundant manipulators via techniques of quadratic programming and rotary encoder. The proposed OMPFC scheme is performed on a planar six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator. This robotic scheme incorporates the feedback of task-space position error. The joint state is obtained in real time via rotary encoders equipped on the physical manipulator. The original scheme is finally reformulated as a unified quadratic program (QP). The QP is solved online during the joint motion by employing an efficient numerical algorithm. Simulation and experimental results validate the physical realizability, online property, and efficacy of the proposed OMPFC scheme (including the employed numerical algorithm).

Speckle suppression is extremely important for understanding and utilising synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, while the emphasis of the traditional methods for speckle suppression is usually focused on removing the noise instead of keeping the scattering character of imaging objects, which has caused serious interference to the subsequent applications of SAR images. The authors aim to develop sparse partial differential equation (PDE) for speckle suppression of SAR image, where the PDE model is associated with the sparse prior of objects and the statistical property of speckle. The PDE model has been proved to have the ability of denoising and edge-preserving by proper design, and the sparse prior of the point- and line-like objects on SAR images has been also illustrated, both of which help for keeping the scattering characters. To solve the proposed sparse PDE model, a numerical algorithm is designed and the sparse constraint is realised in each step of the diffusion process. In experiments, several real SAR images are utilised to validate the performance of the proposed method.

We consider the computational questions which arise when analyzing quasi-birth-death processes with a continuous phase set. We develop a framework based on the wavelet transform and we propose a numerical algorithm for computing the steady-state probabilities based on the fast orthogonal wavelet transform. We conclude with a few examples to illustrate the effectiveness of our numerical algorithm. (c) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
