Using a discretization procedure, based on admissible shape functions, a system of coupled, nonlinear, time-varying, ordinary differential equations is generated.
A second model is the natural-shape design, a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that is commonly used for modeling the shape of large scientific balloons.
Particularly now, though, when the tentacles of fashion reach out globally, coiling around fat new markets like China or India or Russia, places marooned from global markets for decades, twining into traditionally style-resistant spheres like business and art, you can begin to make out how culture is shaped by a system of which dressmakers are just a small part.
Scholars of commercial law increasingly refer to reputational concerns as important forces that shape our behavior – a "system of control" of sorts.
This could be done with surfaces that change shape, or by using a system of holes and slots that can be opened and closed as appropriate to create suction that maintains laminar flow.
A system of aerodynamic shape optimization is developed based on the multi-block CST method, Pareto genetic algorithms and hypersonic aerodynamic engineering analysis, and the aerodynamic characteristics of a quasi-waverider wing-body vehicle are improved significantly after optimization.
During this period of adversity, the power of the guilds and their domination of the city were on the wane; as a result, successful merchants and bankers, chiefly Cosimo de' Medici and Giovanni Rucellai in the 15th century, were able to shape civic politics and culture through a system of oligarchy and patronage.
Using his expensive new machine, Harriss developed a system of flat shapes that connect together to make curved objects like spheres.
The extent of vane shapes on the interaction effect in a system of vanes was also investigated.
The author traces how "upper-class work," the everyday tasks of organizing and maintaining trade or a system of production, shaped the family's experience and New England's culture.
