Engineering Transactions, 1968 The present considerations are devoted to the problem of simultaneous bending and compression (or tension) and that of buckling of a structure composed of nonhomogeneous straight bars, the cross-sections of which vary in an arbitrary manner and which are

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

"Patterns of Non-exponential Growth of Macroeconomic Models: Two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet Models" [PDF]
This paper discusses non-exponential growth patterns of macroeconomic models. More specifically, the paper discusses asymptotic growth patterns of the numbers of clusters and of components of partition vectors, that is, the number of clusters of specific

Producing power-law distributions and damping word frequencies with two-stage language models [PDF]
, 2011 Standard statistical models of language fail to capture one of the most striking properties of natural languages: the power-law distribution in the frequencies of word tokens.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Estimating Lorenz Curves Using a Dirichlet Distribution. [PDF]
The Lorenz curve relates the cumulative proportion of income to the cumulative proportion of population. When a particular functional form of the Lorenz curve is specified it is typically estimated by linear or nonlinear least squares, estimation ...

Business‐Like Narrative and Public Engagement: Evidence From TED Talks on Nonprofit Issues
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the trend of nonprofits adopting business‐like practices has been widely discussed, limited attention has been paid to how the broader public responds to this shift. One way to capture public reactions is by examining engagement with business‐like narratives in media.

Oikos, EarlyView.Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.An energy‐conserving discrete framework for the vertical discretisation of stratified ocean models is developed using internal gravity‐wave theory. A β$$ \beta $$‐indexed family of schemes is analysed through perturbation theory, revealing optimal parameter choices and grid designs that reduce truncation errors significantly.
