The tool we use to perform the numerical analysis, is a new minimization software developed by the authors to analyze masonry constructions, modeled as unilateral structures.
A unilateral control structure is proposed for minimizing the effect of the quantization error in this paper.
Using the concept of homogeneous thermodynamical potentials, we extend a convergent and numerically efficient optimization algorithm introduced in the framework of linear elasticity to this nonlinear case of an elastic structure with unilateral contact.
In terms of structure, the unilateral plot keeps Thalaba does not allow for an easy flow into various mythic incidents.
Selective BLA lesions or NAcb core lesions markedly impaired the acquisition of cocaine seeking under a second-order schedule (Whitelaw et al., 1996; Ito et al., 2004), as did a neurochemical functional disconnection of this circuitry by combining unilateral manipulations of each structure in opposite hemispheres (Di Ciano & Everitt, 2004).
Vertebrates in general exhibit external bilateral symmetry; however, most internal organs such as the heart, lungs and kidney display asymmetry in structure and/or unilateral positioning with respect to the LR axis; interestingly, defects in laterality affects more than 1 in 8000 live births.
Capitalizing from this work on non-linear cable dynamics, this paper proposes a new approach to analyze, in laterally- braced truss structures, the unilateral effects and dynamic response accounting for the loss in the pre-tensioning force imparted to the bracing cables.
As a great power in the context of asymmetric relations, the United States has the opportunity to take some important unilateral dismantlement of hostile structures because it has nothing to risk by doing so.
All these proposals may explain bilateral pain following a unilateral lesion of spinothalamic structures however they are speculative and need to be addressed in future experiments.
The problem of maximization the global rigidity (measured by the compliance) of an elastic structure with frictionless unilateral contact is considered in the framework of topology optimization.
The applicability of the newly presented method is demonstrated on a simple clamped-beam structure with a unilateral contact, which is excited with a harmonic force at the free end.
