LOW-COST ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PRESS FOR DETERMINING PRE-CONSOLIDATION PRESSURE [PDF]
The pre-consolidation pressure is a soil parameter indicating the maximum load that can be supported without irreversible deformation. However, the commercially available equipment for such determination is very expensive, limiting studies on this ...

A Scale-Adaptive TENO Scheme based on a New Smoothness Indicator [PDF]
This work presents a new smoothness indicator for the Targeted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (TENO) scheme based on the generalized undivided difference method. Furthermore, to prevent excessive numerical dissipation in the low and intermediate wavenumbers,

Cartoon and Texture Image Decomposition Driven by Weighted Curvature
In this paper, we propose a curvature-guided model with divergence-free constraints to facilitate image decomposition. Since basic TV regularization has difficulty in processing edge geometry information of cartoon image, in order to preserve the edge ...

Smoothing Newton method for NCP with the identification of degenerate indices
A new smoothing Gauss-Newton method for nonlinear complementarity prolems (NCP) by using a NPC-function for reformulation of the original problem. The method, based on active-set strategy, contains an estimating technique for the determination of the degenerate set of indices at the solution \(x^*\) under suitable regularity conditions.
