Study of neural network techniques for computer integrated manufacturing

Yong Yue, Lian Ding, Kemal Ahmet, John Painter, Mick Walters

Computer aided process planning (CAPP) is an effective way to integrate computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). There are two key issues with the integration: design…

Adaptive non‐nested multigrid methods

Marco L. Bittencourt, Craig C. Douglas, Raúl A. Feijóo

This paper presents some linear adaptive non‐nested multigrid methods which are applied to linear elastic problems discretized with triangular and tetrahedral finite elements…

A fractional step – exponentially fitted hopscotch scheme for the Streeter‐Phelps equations of river self‐purification

Brian J. McCartin, Sydney B. Forrester

This paper describes a numerical approximation scheme for the one‐dimensional Streeter‐Phelps equations of river self‐purification. Our formulation of the problem includes second…

Statistically equivalent nonlinear finite element model for infilled R. C. framed systemsThe present work is an extension to the thesis of the first author for the Master of Science degree.

Hamdy Mohy Afefy, Salah El‐Din Fahmy Taher, Abdel‐Hakim A. Khalil, Mohamed E. Issa

The most simple equivalent frame system with reduced degrees of freedom is proposed for handling multi‐story multi‐bay infilled frames. The system is composed of homogenized…
