The multi-scale computations are implemented based on the software ABAQUS and the developed programs via the user interface provided by the software for the purpose of easier application to large civil structures.
Thus the method is found suitable for application to large civil engineering structures, such as bridges.
These attractive features, coupled with minimal computational requirements, such as solutions of small diagonal Sylvester equations make the proposed algorithms ideally suited for application to large real-life structures.
The essential benefits of the procedure are that it requires minimal input data that can be obtained from simple fragmentation tests, and that the procedure is computationally efficient enabling application to large scale industrial structures.
Fouling-resistant coatings for application to large-scale structures, such as ship hulls, are based on polymeric 'binders' the film-forming component of paint.
The resulting nonlinear convex optimization problem is presented in a generalized formulation and then solved by an interior-point algorithm, which is characterized by a problem-tailored solution strategy, particularly suitable for application to large-scale engineering structures.
In spite of its complexity, it is expressed in a format fit for numerical calculations by the finite element method, and involves only six material parameters (in addition to the usual elastic constants), which makes it suitable for applications to large industrial structures.
Together with this exceptional property, the similarity and compatibility between these composites and structural concrete suggest the possibility of developing distributed embedded strain-sensing systems with substantial improvements in the cost-effectiveness in applications to large-scale concrete structures.
Economics (if applicable to large or international corporate structures).
Applications to larger proteins may benefit from the use of block[9], modular[24] or stereo-array[25] isotope labeling, and allow the determination of high-resolution structures of amyloid or membrane proteins.
