The present paper is concerned with the design of lock gates submitted to ship impacts. In this paper, a simplified analytical method is presented to evaluate the resistance of such structures under collision. The basic idea is to assume that the resistance is first provided through a local deforming mode, corresponding to a localized crushing of some impacted structural elements. For consecutive larger deformations, the resistance is then mostly provided through a global deforming mode, corresponding to an overall movement of the entire gate. For assessing the resistance in the case of the local deforming mode, the structure is divided into a given number of large structural entities called “superelements.” For each of them, a relation between the resistance of the gate and the penetration of the striking ship is established. However, as some results are already available in the literature, this subject is not treated extensively in this paper. On the contrary, the calculation of the resistance of the gate provided through the global mode is detailed and the strategy to switch from local to global deformation is highlighted. Finally, we propose to validate our developments by making a comparison between results obtained numerically and those predicted by the present analytical approach.

Recently, young people’s concern on theory is becoming very poor. If there is a numerical procedure that is friendlier with theory, the distance between theory and calculation would be decreased much, and the interaction between them would become more active. When the geometry of the domain is simple, the traditional analytical method using function expansion is very convenient in many numerical problems. In many problems, it has given very useful solutions for various problems. However, its effectiveness is usually limited to simple geometries of the domain. In the past, a fusion of the analytical approach and computational one has not been pursued sufficiently. If it becomes possible, it may give a different paradigm for obtaining the numerical solution. In the present paper, an innovative idea named Random Collocation Method (RCM) is discussed on how to overcome the weak point of the traditional method by combining it with computational method. It is the purpose of the present paper to develop the simplest numerical method and to make the distance between the theory and numerical method as small as possible.

The paper presents a new analytical approach to modelling the curvature of a communication route by making use of differential equations. The method makes it possible to identify both linear and nonlinear curvature. It enables us to join curves of the same or opposite signs of curvature. Solutions of problems for linear change of curvature and selected variants of nonlinear curvature in polynomial and trigonometric form were analyzed. A comparison of determined horizontal transition curves was made and examples of negotiating these curves into a geometric system were given.

Intermediality, as an act which is necessarily an extension of what we might call inter-arts, makes theatre reconfigure not only its status, but also its structural elements. Thus, the presence becomes a theme which is impossible to be avoided in the analytical approach of theatre. It is the presence that is led in the direction of integrating the multiple meanings of those media that are on same level with the dedicated theater art. Our study will try to point out some elements that make intermediality transform the theatrical into a “composition” with paradoxical meanings and significances.

Coupled in- and out-of-plane bending, axial, and torsional vibrations exist in a built-up space frame, which greatly challenges the conventional modal approach. A wave-based exact analytical method is applied to study vibrations in built-up multistory space frames. From the wave vibration standpoint, vibrations are described as waves propagating along uniform structural elements and being reflected and transmitted at structural discontinuities. Free vibration responses are studied based on classical vibration theories. Numerical examples are given with comparison to results available in the literature. Good agreements have been reached. This study not only provides an exact analytical approach to complex vibration problems in built-up multistory space frames that have mostly been studied numerically but also provides a benchmark to existing numerical tools.

Combining the finite element method and the analytical method, a hybrid finite element-analytical approach is established to calculate the nonlinear dynamic responses of a micro-resonator driven by electrostatic combs accurately for the purpose of programmed dynamical simulations and great shortening of workloads. The spatially discretized equations obtained by using the analytical undamped global mode functions to the nonlinear integro-partial differential equations and the ordinary differential equations of the micro-resonator, in which the coefficients are estimated by the discrete global mode shapes from the finite element method, are used to calculate the nonlinear dynamic responses of the micro-resonator. The results are compared with those merely based on the analytical mode functions of the micro-resonator, which shows that they can reach high accuracy when the elements in the micro-resonator are sufficiently small.

Purpose – The linear analysis presented for the charge pump phase locked loops (CPPLLs) becomes inaccurate or incorrect where cycle slipping occurs. In this paper, an analytical approach is proposed, which explains the conditions in which cycle slipping happens. Using the analytical results, one can simply design or redesign a CPPLL to prevent or decrease cycle slipping and hence decreasing the locking time. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – To obtain cycle slipping conditions, CPPLL's signals in the time domain are tracked and cycle slipping condition is investigated. Based on the proposed analysis, by comparing a simple function of system's parameters with a threshold, cycle slipping is predicted. Findings – The cycle slipping conditions are expressed in terms of system's parameters and the size of the input frequency step. The method is also generalized for a fast CPPLL with an aid-lock BBFC circuit. The good accuracy of the analytical predictions is verified using simulations in Matlab/Simulink. Originality/value – A new analytical method for cycle slipping prediction in CPPLLs is presented. A closed form equation in terms of system's parameters and input frequency step has been presented, which can predict the cycle slipping possibility in the system without a need to perform the full time-consuming simulations. This analytical method that uses the LambertW function's properties proposes a threshold to predict cycle slipping in the system. This method not only can be used by designers to predict cycle slipping but can also be used to design the CPPLL in order to remove or decrease cycle slipping. The method is also generalized for fast locking charge pump PLLs and as a case study, cycle slipping prediction in the BBFC-CPPLL is performed.

In this paper, the extrusion process of bimetallic tubes is discussed, and the extrusion pressure is calculated based on the method of energy conservation, according to the three categories of metal flow that may occur during the process. A number of parameters, geometry of bimetallic tube, mechanical properties of material components and friction conditions, are highlighted in this analytical method. Compared with the data of TP304l/20G bimetallic tubes which were extruded at 1100-1200 °C, the calculated results show a good agreement with the industrial results, with the error less than 10 %. It also proves that the friction between the two layers play an important role in the process.

This paper researches an optimal problem of orbital evasion with considering space geometry by using an analytical approach. Firstly, an angles-only relative navigation model is built and the definition of completely nonobservable maneuver is proposed. After algebraic analysis of relative space geometry, it is proved that the completely nonobservable maneuver is nonexistent. Based on this, the angle measurements of orbit without evasion are set as reference measurements and an analytical solution is derived to find the minimum difference between measurements and the reference measurements in a constant measuring time. Then, an object function using vector multiplication is designed and an optimization model is established so as to prove the optimality of analytical solution. At last, several numerical simulations are performed with different maneuver directions, which verify the effectiveness of the analytical method of this paper for orbital evasion problem. This method offers a new viewpoint for orbital evasion problem.
