On the prevalence of hierarchies in social networks [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce two novel evolutionary processes for hierarchical networks referred to as dominance- and prestige-based evolution models, i.e., DBEM and PBEM, respectively.

FEM simulation of a crack propagation in a round bar under combined tension and torsion fatigue loading [PDF]
An edge crack propagation in a steel bar of circular cross-section undergoing multiaxial fatigue loads is simulated by Finite Element Method (FEM). The variation of crack growth behaviour is studied under axial and combined in phase axial+torsional ...

The use of direct boundary element method for gaining insight into complex seismic site response [PDF]
The boundary element method is specially well suited for the analysis of the seismic response of valleys of complicated topography and stratigraphy. In this paper the method’s capabilities are illustrated using as an example an irregularity stratified ...

Acoustic scattering characteristics of underwater multicell cavity corner reflectors [PDF]
Underwater multicell single-layer thin metal plate corner reflectors can’t form a relatively stable TS in a large space because of its strong frequency characteristics.

Numerical Study of Length Spectra and Low-lying Eigenvalue Spectra of Compact Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
In this paper, we numerically investigate the length spectra and the low-lying eigenvalue spectra of the Laplace-Beltrami operator for a large number of small compact(closed) hyperbolic (CH) 3-manifolds.

Retardation effects due to overloads in aluminium-alloy aeronautical components [PDF]
Fatigue data are generally derived under constant-amplitude loading conditions, but aircraft components are subjected to variable-amplitude loading. Without interaction effects, caused by overloads and underloads intermingled in a loading sequence, it ...

Necessary and sufficient condition for longitudinal magnetoresistance
Since the Lorentz force is perpendicular to the magnetic field, it should not affect the motion of a charge along the field. This argument seems to imply absence of longitudinal magnetoresistance (LMR) which is, however, observed in many materials and ...

The scalability of the matrices in direct Trefftz method in 2D Laplace problem
This paper presents an interesting property of the matrices that may be obtained with the use of direct Trefftz method. It is proved analytically for 2D Laplace problem that values of the elements of matrices describing the capacitance of two scaled ...
