Abstract A micromechanical model is proposed here for estimating the effective stiffness of a pair of parallel microscopically damaged interfaces in a trimaterial under inplane elastostatic deformations. The trimaterial is made of an orthotropic thin layer sandwiched between two orthotropic half-spaces. The microscopically damaged interfaces are modeled using periodically distributed interfacial micro-cracks. The micromechanical model is formulated and numerically solved in terms of hypersingular boundary integro-differential equations. The effects of the width of the thin layer, the micro-crack densities of the two interfaces and the material constants of the thin layer and the two half-spaces on the effective stiffness coefficients are… More >

Abstract The shift of the camera leads to unsteadiness of backgrounds in video sequences. The motion of camera will results in mixture of backgrounds and foregrounds motion. So it is a challenge for targets detection in dynamic scenes. A realtime moving target detection algorithm with low complexity in dynamic scenes is proposed in this paper. Sub-block based image registration is applied to remove the global motion of the video frame. Considering the blocks in one frame have different motion vectors, the global motion of each block is separately estimated. Then, a neighbor-based background modeling is applied to extract the moving objects.… More >

Abstract Applying an efficient numerical wave absorption method is very important for realization of an open sea condition especially for long time numerical fluid structure interaction simulation. This paper proposed a hybrid numerical wave absorption method for the fully nonlinear fluid structure simulation. A numerical code “QBEM” which is based on the quadratic boundary element method is applied to evaluate the efficiency of the wave absorption methods and damping schemes by checking the energy conservation and wave elevation in the computational domain. Specifically, we conduct a 3D numerical wave tank experiment to find the bestperforming damping scheme inside the damping zone… More >

Abstract Although “higher-order” and layer-wise “higher-order” plate and shell
theories for composite laminates are widely popularized in the current literature,
they involve (1) postulating very complex assumptions of plate/shell kinematics in
the thickness direction, (2) defining generalized variables of displacements, strains,
and stresses, and (3) developing very complex governing equilibrium, compatibility,
and constitutive equations in terms of newly-defined generalized kinemaic and
generalized kinetic variables. Their industrial applications are thus hindered by
their inherent complexity, and the fact that it is difficult for end-users (front-line
structural engineers) to completely understand all the newly-defined FEM DOFs
in higher-order and layer-wise theories. In an… More >
