A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Local Asymptotic Mixed Normality property for discretely observed stochastic differential equations driven by stable Lévy processes

, 2013
We prove the Local Asymptotic Mixed Normality property from high frequency observations, of a continuous time process solution of a stochastic differential equation driven by a pure jump Lévy process. The process is observed on the fixed time interval [0,

Local asymptotic normality for the scale parameter of stable processes

We consider stable processes given by the density of the Lévy measure [alpha][gamma]x-1-[gamma], where [gamma][set membership, variant](0,2) denotes the index which is known and [alpha] is the unknown scale parameter.

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...

Local Asymptotic Normality for Multi-Armed Bandits

Van den Akker, Werker, and Zhou (2025) showed that the limit experiment, in the sense of H\a'{a}jek-Le Cam, for (contextual) bandits whose arms' expected payoffs differ by $O(T^{-1/2})$, is Locally Asymptotically Quadratic (LAQ) but highly non-standard, being characterized by a system of coupled stochastic differential equations.

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

A Novel Two‐Stage Flexible Flow Shop Batch Scheduling Model for Grinding Workshops

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing need for data storage in data centers has increased the demand for mechanical hard disks due to their low cost and high reliability. Aluminum substrates are the most popular base plates for mechanical hard disks because of their high hardness and low cost.

Local-global neural networks: a new approach for nonlinear time series modelling [PDF]

In this paper, the Local Global Neural Networks model is proposed within the context of time series models. This formulation encompasses some already existing nonlinear models and also admits the Mixture of Experts approach.

On parameter estimation for locally stationary long-memory processes [PDF]

We consider parameter estimation for time-dependent locally stationary long-memory processes. The asymptotic distribution of an estimator based on the local infinite autoregressive representation is derived, and asymptotic formulas for the mean squared ...
