Macro-Mesoscale Submodeling Approach for Analysis of Large Masonry Structures by S. Pietruszczak, P. Przecherski

“…In this work, a sub-modeling technique is proposed for the analysis of large-scale masonry structures. The approach couples an anisotropic macroscale formulation, derived by incorporating the notion of a fabric tensor for an orthotropic material, with mesoscale analysis. …”

Acoustic Wave Correlation Tomography of Time-Varying Disordered Structures by Gregory SAMELSOHN, Saad TAPUCHI

“…It is shown that by considering the wave vector as a free parameter that can vary at will, one can provide an additional dimension to the data, resulting in a tomographic-type reconstruction of the full space-time dynamics of a complex structure, instead of a plain spectroscopic technique. …”

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). …”

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. …”
