Random Finite Element Analysis and Random Factor response Mechanism for Geocell-reinforced Soil Retaining Walls by ZHANG Bingbing, SONG Fei

“…For this reason, a finite element analysis method based on random field theory is proposed in this paper, which can more realistically reflect the non-homogeneous characteristics of the reinforced soil retaining wall system by introducing a spatial random distribution model of the soil parameters and the mechanical properties of the geocells, so as to more accurately assess the influence of the spatial variability of the material parameters on the deformation behavior and stability of the retaining wall.MethodsFirstly, in parameter random field modeling, an innovative combination of Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and exponential autocorrelation function is used to construct parameter random fields. …”

STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY OPTIMIZATION DESIGN OF REINFORCED SHELL MODEL BASED ON ADAPTIVE SURROGATE MODEL by LIU YuZhuo, CAO LiXiong, WU JianGuo, LI HaiBo

“…Reinforced shell structure is widely used in aerospace load-bearing structures because its high specific stiffness and specific strength.By considering the uncertainty and risk factors in the structural parameters，the Reliability-Based Design Optimization （RBDO） can avoid the overly conservative design of the structure and ensure its reliability and safety.An efficient RBDO method based on adaptive agent model was proposed.This method solves the problem of lightweight design of reinforced shell structure under buckling reliability constraints.The adaptive addition of sample points was implemented through the expected feasibility function criterion，and the discrete variables was continued by constructing piecewise functions.This increases optimization efficiency while ensuring the reliability of design results.Finally，the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the RBDO results with the deterministic optimization results.…”

Energy Consumption and Economic Growth Nexus: Insights from EU Member States by Dalina-Maria ANDREI

“…It searches for some short/long term relationships of these through a panel type model, based on the Cobb-Douglas neoclassic production function. Reference examples in the literature and tests applied for unit roots and cointegration determine our option for an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model able to identify both common coefficients of long-term relationship between variables and individual (specific to each EU member country) coefficients on short-term relationships. …”
