Abstract Offshore wind energy plays a critical role in achieving global decarbonization goals, while the dynamic response mechanisms of megawatt-scale turbines under complex environmental conditions remain insufficiently characterized. Current research often oversimplifies the effects of monopile flexibility and its interaction with soil dynamics, leading to gaps in dynamic predictions. To address this limitation, this study develops a comprehensive 15-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for a 22 MW monopile offshore wind turbine (OWT) that incorporates nonlinear pile flexibility and soil-structure interaction through p-y and Q-z curves. The integrated analytical framework, established using Euler-Lagrange equations, enables coupled analysis of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study examines the phase-dependent structural, electronic, optical, and thermodynamic characteristics of the cubic, tetragonal, and orthorhombic phases of BaTiO₃ using DFT simulations. Lattice parameters and bulk moduli computed through structural optimizations within the GGA-PBE framework are in good agreement with existing experimental and theoretical studies. All phases exhibit negative formation energies, indicating thermodynamic stability, with the orthorhombic phase being the most stable. Electronic structure calculations reveal indirect band gaps of 2.86, 2.96, and 3.43 eV for the cubic, tetragonal, and orthorhombic phases, respectively. The density of states analysis indicates that O-p states dominate the valence… More >

Abstract In recent years, cyber threats have escalated across diverse sectors, with cybercrime syndicates increasingly exploiting system vulnerabilities. Traditional passive defense mechanisms have proven insufficient, particularly as Linux platforms—historically overlooked in favor of Windows—have emerged as frequent targets. According to Trend Micro, there has been a substantial increase in Linux-targeted malware, with ransomware attacks on Linux surpassing those on macOS. This alarming trend underscores the need for detection strategies specifically designed for Linux environments. To address this challenge, this study proposes a comprehensive malware detection framework tailored for Linux systems, integrating dynamic behavioral analysis with the… More >

Abstract This paper presents a framework for constructing surrogate models for sensitivity analysis of structural dynamics behavior. Physical models involving deformation, such as collisions, vibrations, and penetration, are developed using the material point method. To reduce the computational cost of Monte Carlo simulations, response surface models are created as surrogate models for the material point system to approximate its dynamic behavior. An adaptive randomized greedy algorithm is employed to construct a sparse polynomial chaos expansion model with a fixed order, effectively balancing the accuracy and computational efficiency of the surrogate model. Based on the sparse polynomial More >

Abstract Internal solitary waves (ISWs) a serious threat to moored floating structures in deep water, especially in South China Sea. On predicating dynamic response of a moored structure subjected to ISWs, previous researchers directly apply the pre-calculated ISW loading to the structure, which ignores the coupling effects between the structure and the ISW. To address this issue, this paper develops a coupled dynamic analysis model for moored structures, where the determination of ISW loading considers the effects of dynamic responses of floating structures. This model can simulate the action of various loading components on the floating… More >

Abstract This work proposes a numerical investigation on the effects of damage on the structural response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridge structures commonly adopted in highway and railway networks. An effective three-dimensional FE-based numerical model is developed to analyze the bridge’s structural response under several damage scenarios, including the effects of moving vehicle loads. In particular, the longitudinal and transversal beams are modeled through solid finite elements, while horizontal slabs are made of shell elements. Damage phenomena are also incorporated in the numerical model according to a smeared approach consistent with Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). In… More >

Abstract In recent years, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have played an increasingly important role in the construction and monitoring of underwater pile foundations. However, due to the open frame structure of such vehicles, a gap of knowledge still exists with regard to their hydrodynamic behavior. In this study, the hydrodynamic stability of such vehicles is investigated numerically by means of a multiple reference frame method. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the ROV when it moves horizontally and upward in the vertical plane are examined. It is found that there is interference between the horizontal and vertical thrusters More >

Abstract Electro-hydraulic proportional valve is the core control valve in many hydraulic systems used in agricultural and engineering machinery. To address the problem related to the large throttling losses and poor stability typically associated with these valves, here, the beneficial effects of a triangular groove structure on the related hydraulic response are studied. A mathematical model of the pressure compensation system based on the power-bond graph method is introduced, and the AMESim software is used to simulate its response. The results show that the triangular groove structure increases the jet angle and effectively compensates for the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In the insurance sector, a massive volume of data is being generated on a daily basis due to a vast client base. Decision makers and business analysts emphasized that attaining new customers is costlier than retaining existing ones. The success of retention initiatives is determined not only by the accuracy of forecasting churners but also by the timing of the forecast. Previous works on churn forecast presented models for anticipating churn quarterly or monthly with an emphasis on customers’ static behavior. This paper’s objective is to calculate daily churn based on dynamic variations in client… More >

Abstract The VOF method is used to simulate the dynamics of a droplet interacting with a structure consisting of an array of microcolumns mounted on a flat surface. Such a specific configuration is intended to mimic the typical properties of lotus leaves, which typically display regularly arranged micron-scale papillary structures. After setting the initial velocity of the simulated droplet on the basis of practical considerations, an analysis is conducted about the effect of the characteristic size of the microstructure on the apparent contact angle. The pressure variation in the microstructure caves is also examined. The simulation More >
