Product-IT Inclusive Enterprise Architecture Management: An Approach Based on Ecosystems, Customer Journey and Data-Driven Business Opportunities by Julia Kaidalova, Kurt Sandkuhl, Ulf Seigerroth

“…Enterprise architecture (EA) management is an established function in enterprises providing methods and tools for a systematic alignment of business and IT in an organization. However, EA models capture the details of business, information and technology architecture of an enterprise (i.e., the enterprise-IT) but usually do not include the product-IT. …”

The Effects of Multipropped Deep Excavation-Induced Ground Movements on Adjacent High-Rise Building Founded on Piled Raft in Sand by Mukhtiar Ali Soomro, Naeem Mangi, Wen-Chieh Cheng, Dildar Ali Mangnejo

“…An advanced hypoplastic sand model (which is capable of taking small-strain stiffness into account) was adopted to capture soil behaviour. The computed results revealed that excavation adjacent to a building resting on the piled raft caused significant settlement, differential settlement, lateral deflection, and interstorey drift in the building. …”

Optimum Design of a Nonlinear Vibration Absorber Coupled to a Resonant Oscillator: A Case Study by H. F. Abundis-Fong, J. Enríquez-Zárate, A. Cabrera-Amado, G. Silva-Navarro

“…Based on the solution given by the perturbation method mentioned above, a static optimization problem is formulated in order to determine the optimum parameters (mass and length) of the nonlinear absorber which minimizes the steady state amplitude of the primary mass under resonant conditions; then, a PZT actuator is cemented to the base of the beam, so the nonlinear absorber is made active, thus enabling the possibility of controlling the effective stiffness associated with the passive absorber and, as a consequence, the implementation of an active vibration control scheme able to preserve, as possible, the autoparametric interaction as well as to compensate varying excitation frequencies and parametric uncertainty. …”
