International audience Function approximation arises in many branches of applied mathematics and computer science, in particular in numerical analysis, in finite element theory and more recently in data sciences domain. From most common approximation we cite, polynomial, Chebychev and Fourier series approximations. In this work we establish some approximations of a continuous function by a series of activation functions. First, we deal with one and two dimensional cases. Then, we generalize the approximation to the multi dimensional case. Examples of applications of these approximations are: interpolation, numerical integration, finite element and neural network. Finally, we will present some numerical results of the examples above. La théorie d’approximation des fonctions couvre de nombreuses branches en mathématiques appliquées, en informatique et en sciences de l’ingénieur, en particulier en analyse numérique, en théorie des éléments finis et plus récemment en sciences des données. Parmi les approximations fortement utilisées nous citons les approximations polynomiale de type Lagrange, Hermite ou au sens de Chebychev. Nous trouvons aussi l’approximation d’une fonction par une séries de Fourier, l’approximation rationnelle...Dans ce travail, nous établissons quelques résultats d’approximations d’une fonction continue par une série de fonctions de type activation. Nous traitons d’abord les cas d’une fonction à une seule puis à deux variables, puis nous généralisons l’approximation au cas multidimensionnel. Nous appliquons ces approximations pour l’interpolation et l’intégration numérique, en éléments finis et en réseau neuronal. Nous donnons pour chaque application quelques résultats numériques.

The explicit dynamic finite element theory is applied on the collision of ships with buoys for computer simulation. Using ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element analysis software, the numerical simulation of the collision between the ton ship and the buoy with different structures and impact points. The collision force, deformation, displacement parameters and the weak impact points of a buoy are obtained. Based on the numerical simulation results, analysis of buoys and structural collision damages in anti-collision features are discussed, and several theoretical sugestions in anti-collision for the design of buoy are provided.

Based on the matrix calculus, the generalized second moment technique and the stochastic finite element theory, the effective approach for the transfer reliability of vibration transfer path systems was presented. The transfer reliability of vibration transfer path systems with uncertain path parameters including mass and stiffness was analyzed theoretically and computed numerically, and the correlated mathematical expressions were obtained. Thus, it provides the theoretical foundation for the dynamic design of vibration systems in practical project, so that most uncertain factors can be considered to solve the random problems for vibration transfer path systems.

Aim at the problem of machining integral impeller, a method of using finite element theory to carry out the statics analysis of impeller in this paper is studied. The finite element model is established, and then the nephogram of the impeller stress, strain and total deformation are obtained. The result is attained: in the case of impeller rotation and statics load, the maximum of stress and strain occur at the root of suction surface, the maximum of total deformation occurs on the blade tip position of suction surface, while the maximum deformation position has not changed, which increases with the increasing of rotation and statics load. The data results provide a theoretical reference for the machining of integral impeller.

The strain distribution of quantum dots is analytically calculated using the Green’s function technique; the general expressions for any shaped quantum dot are derived. As examples, this method is applied to cube, pyramid column, and taper-shaped quantum dot. Our expressions are correct comparing with the calculated results by finite element method and finite difference. This approach is very powerful and can be applied to any-shaped quantum dot, especially this method can directly used in the calculation of electronic structure of quantum dot by the envelop function approximation or plane wave expansion methods, because the analytic expression can exactly calculate the strain at any position. In the paper, we give the strain distribution of four types of shaped quantum dot, and some comparisons are given with the results calculated by the finite element method.
