LMI‐based passivation of LTI systems with application to marine structures by Nicolás Faedo, Yerai Peña‐Sanchez, Fabio Carapellese, Giuliana Mattiazzo, John V. Ringwood

“…Abstract Due to the inherent relevance of passive (physically representative) models for control, state‐estimation, and motion simulation in the field of marine systems, in this paper, an optimisation‐based approach to passivation of linear time‐invariant (LTI) systems is proposed with application to physically consistent dynamical modelling of marine structures. In particular, the presented strategy is based upon the introduction of a suitably designed perturbation, computed via minimisation of a linear objective subject to a specific set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). …”

Reliability Analysis of Structures by Iterative Improved Ensemble of Surrogate Method by Bolin Liu, Liyang Xie

“…Therefore, to save the cost of constructing the surrogate and improve the prediction accuracy, an ensemble strategy is proposed in this paper for efficiently analyzing the structural reliability. The values of the weights are obtained by a recursive process and the leave-one-out technique, in which the values are updated in each iteration until a given prediction accuracy is achieved. …”

Role of Lignin in Moisture Interactions of Cellulose Microfibril Structures in Wood by Aleksi Zitting, Antti Paajanen, Michael Altgen, Lauri Rautkari, Paavo A. Penttilä

“…Wide‐angle scattering shows that delignification has no substantial effect on the cellulose crystal structure and how it changes with moisture. Both the scattering results and simulations suggest that lignin is a passive, rather than an active participant in the moisture response of microfibril bundles in wood cell walls. …”
