In this paper, the nonlinear mechanical response of elastic cable structures under mechanical load is studied based on the discrete catenary honda weathershields theory.A cable net is discretized into multiple nodes and edges in our numerical approach, which is followed by an analytical formulation of the elastic energy and the associated Hessian m
Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the typically higher strain rates of b
Living specimens of Gastroptychus perarmatus (Haig, 1968), a chirostylid squat lobster, were observed on colonies of gorgonian corals and sponges in the northern Gulf of California.Video footage and photographs obtained from the Remotely Operated Vehicle JASON dive north of Angel de La Guarda Island in the northern Gulf of California indicate that
he paper objective is to reveal the importance of genetic algorithms in building robust metrics of collaborative systems.The main types of collaborative systems in economy are presented and some characteristics of genetic algorithms are described.A genetic algorithm was implemented in resta moisturizer order to determine the local maximum and minim
Abstract Background Kangaroo mother care (KMC) can have a positive effect on the mental well-being of a mother.However, there are specific challenges associated with the process that may contribute to increased anxiety for the mother.By integrating nurse-assisted mindfulness training alongside KMC guidance, nurses may effectively alleviate maternal
