Dos Santos, Rogério R. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)The present study investigates how to apply continuous tow shearing (CTS) in a manufacturable design parameterization to obtain reduced imperfection sensitivity in lightweight, cylindrical shell designs. The asymptotic nonlinear method developed by Koiter is applied to predict the postbuckled stiffness, whose index is constrained to be...journal article 2022

Marynets, Vasyl (author), Marynets, K. (author), Kohutych, Oksana (author)We study a boundary value problem for a system of the third order semi-linear partial differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions. We establish sufficient conditions of existence, uniqueness, regularity and sign-preserving property of solutions of the studied problem and construct an iterative method for its approximation.journal article 2022

Yang, Dayu (author), Lai, F. (author), Liu, Songyu (author)There is currently a lack of an available design approach to estimate the earth pressure in narrow backfills behind retaining walls rotated about the top (RT). The considerations of some significant factors, primarily load transfer mechanisms (soil arching effect and horizontal shear stress in soils), failure mechanisms (shape and number of...journal article 2022

Wang, Jin (author), Han, Hui (author), Li, H. (author), He, Shiming (author), Sharma, Pradip Kumar (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author)Due to high capacity and fast transmission speed, 5G plays a key role in modern electronic infrastructure. Meanwhile, sparse tensor factorization (STF) is a useful tool for dimension reduction to analyze high-order, high-dimension, and sparse tensor (HOHDST) data, which is transmitted on 5G Internet-of-things (IoT). Hence, HOHDST data relies...journal article 2021

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)The salinity structure in estuaries is classically described in terms of the salinity structure as well mixed, partially mixed, or salt wedge. The existing knowledge about the processes that result in such salinity structures comes from highly idealized models that are restricted to either well-mixed and partially mixed cases or subtidal salt...journal article 2021

Barbaro, Alethea (author), Rodriguez, Nancy (author), Yoldas, H. (author), Zamponi, Nicola (author)We study a two-species cross-diffusion model that is inspired by a system of convectiondiffusion equations derived from an agent-based model on a two-dimensional discrete lattice. The latter model has been proposed to simulate gang territorial development through the use of graffiti markings. We find two energy functionals for the system that...journal article 2021

We propose to use machine learning techniques and multiple continuously measured physiological signals to detect exposure, and to identify the chemical agent. Such detection and identification could be used to alert individuals to take...journal article 2021
