On Simplifying Expressions with Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic by Yury V. Kosolapov

“…The paper shows that to simplify linear MBA-expressions (reduce the number of terms), a technique similar to the technique of decoding linear codes by information sets can be applied. Based on this technique, algorithms for simplifying linear MBA-expressions are constructed: an algorithm for finding an expression of minimum length and an algorithm for reducing the length of an expression. …”

Estimation of the crack propagation direction in a mixed-mode geometry via multi-parameter fracture criteria by L. Malíková, V. Veselý, S. Seitl

“…The presented work introduces a numerical parametric study on the crack propagation direction under mixed-mode conditions (mode I + II). It is conducted for the geometry of an eccentric asymmetric fourpoint bending of a single edge notched beam specimen; various levels of mode-mixity are ensured by modifications in the crack length and crack eccentricity. …”
