A passivity-based stability criterion for a class of biochemical reaction networks by Murat Arcak, Eduardo D. Sontag

“…This stability test encom-passes the secant criterion for cyclic networks presented in [1], and extends itto a general interconnection structure represented by a graph. The new stabil-ity test is illustrated on a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascademodel, and on a branched interconnection structure motivated by metabolicnetworks. …”

STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF RESIDUAL STRESS FIELD ON THE CRACK GROWTH RATE OF CIVIL WELDED PLATE by CHEN YangLiu, SONG Xin, BAI ChengZheng, SHENG HongWei, ZHANG JiaZhen

“…In order to reduce the cost of fatigue crack growth test and shorten the research period of welding process on new aircraft siding structure,this paper uses Abaqus finite element software to simulate welding residual stress field by using predefined temperature field method.The stress intensity factor values of crack tip are obtained by finite element simulation.Based on the structural characteristics of large welded plate,the Pairs formula was used to predict the crack propagation rate of welded plate.Based on this model,the fatigue crack growth rate of specimens with different stress ratio and welding process was studied.It is found that the effective stress ratio increases with the residual stress,but the effect decreases with the increase of the stress ratio.The trend of the effective stress ratio is similar to that of the residual stress distribution.The welding residual stress increases the crack growth rate of the welded structure.The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the experimental results.…”

Automatic Position Information of Web-Openings of Building Using Minimized Strain Energy Topology Optimization by Dongkyu Lee, Soomi Shin

“…This study presents a new engineering practice and idea that material topology optimization results may be utilized to optimally decide the positions of web-openings of structural members in a building structure. Material topology optimization utilizes element densities as design parameters, that is, nominal constructional material, and then optimal material distributions of densities between voids (0) and solids (1) in a given design domain represent the determination of topology and shape. …”
