A 3D elastic-plastic-viscous constitutive model for soils considering the stress path dependency

In order to consider the stress path dependency of soils,this paper decomposes any arbitrary stress path into several infinitesimal stress paths.Then the infinitesimal stress path is further transformed into the superposition of two parts,i.e..a constant stress ratio part and a constant mean stress part,which arc sufficiently close to the real stress path.T he plastic strain increments under the transformed paths arc determined separately,and then the plastic strain under any path is obtained.Based on the instantaneous loading line of normally consolidated soil,a reference state line is proposed to determine the overconsolidation ratio and creep time of soil.The overconsolidation ratio is introduced into the viscous How rule to obtain the viscous strain increment.The strcss-strain-timc relationship for triaxial compression condition is extended to 3D stress condition by the transformed stress method.The proposed model adopts only seven material parameters and each of them has a clear physical meaning.Comparisons with test results demonstrate that the model can not only reasonably predict the plastic strain under typical stress paths of excavation,but adequately capture the time-dependent behaviours of soils,including creep,stress relaxation and strain rate effect.

Constructing the Basis Path Set by Eliminating the Path Dependency

The newly appeared G-SGD algorithm can only heuristically find the basis path set in a simple neural network,so its generalization to a more practical network is hindered.From the perspective of graph theory,the BasisP athSetSearching problem is formulated to find the basis path set in a complicated fully connected neural network.This paper proposes algorithm DEAH to hierarchically solve the BasisP athSetSearching problem by eliminating the path dependencies.For this purpose,the authors discover the underlying cause of the path dependency between two independent substructures.The path subdivision chain is proposed to effectively eliminate the path dependency,both inside the chain and between chains.The theoretical proofs and the analysis of time complexity are presented for Algorithm DEAH.This paper therefore provides one methodology to find the basis path set in a general and practical neural network.

Lexicalized Dependency Paths Based Supervised Learning for Relation Extraction

Log-linear models and more recently neural network models used forsupervised relation extraction requires substantial amounts of training data andtime, limiting the portability to new relations and domains. To this end, we propose a training representation based on the dependency paths between entities in adependency tree which we call lexicalized dependency paths (LDPs). We showthat this representation is fast, efficient and transparent. We further propose representations utilizing entity types and its subtypes to refine our model and alleviatethe data sparsity problem. We apply lexicalized dependency paths to supervisedlearning using the ACE corpus and show that it can achieve similar performancelevel to other state-of-the-art methods and even surpass them on severalcategories.

Path Dependent Historical Development at Turkish Automotive Industry

Turkey’s automotive industry has begun to occur at a much earlier date compared to other developing countries,through licensing agreements to establish automotive industrial facilities,by importing a kind of technology.Attempts have been made in order to produce the domestic automobile road providing sectoral developments could enter another technology pathway.Moreover,the inventor of a very early date in the Fordist production system,such as 1929 by Ford Motor Company with the license agreement,as if he could provide for setting up production facilities in Istanbul’s company,this bad experience has refrained for years from entering as a manufacturer Ford Motor Turkey market.Thus,while Turkey is an attractive market for car production,on the other hand,sufficient improvement over time in the production of trucks and other automotive products,such as buses has not been achieved.The 1929 experience seems to have been effective in terms of Turkey.Because,it was necessary to wait until 1971 for OYAK and TOFAŞto establish automobile assembly facility with license agreements.With the start of production of two automotive industry facilities,there has been a significant increase in sectoral production figures,but this increase trend has not been sufficiently supported by the government through the incentive system and in the late 1970s the production of the automotive industry has declined.For the first time in 1961,efforts were made to produce a completely domestic automobile,although the prototype of the revolutionary car was successfully produced,mass production could not be started.Subsequently,the production of the Anadol automobile for the second time was tried by means of technology transfer from multiple sources and the serial production of this automobile continued for a while.However,since fiber glass bodywork was used instead of hair bodywork and export opportunities could not be found,production was stopped completely in the end of 1980s.In the 1980s,automobile production continued in two assembly plants and product diversification was carried out to increase the production volume.In the 1990s,three new assembly facilities,Honda,Toyota and Hyundai,were established and the number of assembly production facilities in the country increased to five and technology loyalty based on technology imports continued.Until 2014,the automotive industry continued to consist of five automobile assembly plants and other automotive products assembly plants.In 2015,it was announced to the public that a new domestic car prototype was produced.It was announced that the project will start mass production in 2019.However,it was determined that the prototype would be re-manufactured at the end of 2019 by making changes in the project and that it would be possible to start mass production in 2022.Thus,it is understood that the efforts to start mass production since 2015 can be concluded in 2022,i.e.7 years after the first prototype was produced.It can 161produce prototypes in a short period of four months in Turkey in 1961,as evidenced by an indication of the dependency on a long time wasting which is not technology importation pathway,such as five years.How to break the path of devotion demonstrates that it is a difficult job.Path dependency is thought to result from the education system.

A Path Integral Generalization of Bell Local Hidden Variable Models for Unstable Particles

We discuss the problem of the generalization of Bell local hidden variable models for unstable particles as nucleons or decaying quantum bound states. We propose to extend the formalism of real deterministic hidden variables in the complex domain, in analogy with the quantum Gamow ket formalism, and we introduce a time dependent classical probability density distribution by which we implement hidden time dependence in the quantum expectation values. We suggest therefore a classical framework which may recover by asymptotic temporal limits the standard Bell stationary quantum statistical averages. Endly we discuss the possible relevance of our proposal for general non-isolated quantum systems in noninertial frames and the consequent dynamic effects of vacuum instabilities on E.P.R tests and Q.M. ensemble statistical averages.

Modeling of the loading path dependent magnetomechanical behavior of Galfenol alloy

The magnetomechanical behavior of single-crystal Galfenol alloy was found to be strongly dependent on the loading paths. An energy-based anisotropic domain rotation model, assuming that the interaction between domains can be ignored and the probability of the magnetic moment pointing along a particular direction is related to the free energy along this direction, is used to simulate the magnetostriction versus magnetic field and stress curve and to track the magnetic domain motion trail. The main reason for loading path dependent effect is the rotation/flipping of the magnetic domains under different loading paths. The effect of loading and unloading paths on 90° magnetic domain motion was studied by choosing different loading and unloading state and paths. The results show that prior loading magnetic field can make the 90° magnetic domains flip to the directions of 45°domains because the magnetic field is the driving force to make the domains rotate, and the final loading state and the loading path both have great influence on the motion of 90° magnetic domains.

Path-dependent speciation in dynamic fitness landscapes

Species is a fundamental concept in evolutionary biology and biodiversity.However,existing species definitions are often influenced by artificial factors or are challenging in practical application,leading to confusion in species classification.Due to uncertain environmental changes and random genetic drift,the fitness expectations of a population may shift,causing species to evolve to a new evolutionary state based on their current instantaneous fitness within a dynamic fitness landscape.This contrasts with the classic static fitness landscape,where fitness expectations are constant.In a dynamic fitness landscape,speciation may exhibit path dependence,where the evolution of traits follows a probabilistic path,creating feedback that shapes evolutionary trajectories.The path-dependent evolutionary mechanism suggests that species survival within an ecosystem is not directly determined by their fitness but by the probability of their evolutionary pathways.This model also indicates that species can coexist with varying probabilities under limited environmental pressures.Consequently,new species,cryptic species,or sympatric species may emerge via path-dependent evolutionary processes.Within this framework,we developed a mathematical species concept,which may guide future species classification methodologies.

Historical Development in the Automotive Industries of Argentina and Turkey

It is possible to say that the automotive industries of Argentina,Brazil,and Turkey are each developed as an assembly industry and show great similarities to each other in this context.Since the 1980s,the development direction of the world automotive industry has been trying to make the country’s investment environment attractive for foreign international companies to produce in their countries in all three countries.However,with the 1980s,their adaptation to the flexible production system and other new technologies being implemented in the Japanese automotive industry took time,meaning that the learning time took a long time,and local contribution rates fell.This has made the slow development mechanism that has been going on since the past work even slower,and they have suffered the punishment for not being able to develop technologies in all three countries by falling behind in the automotive industry.In the 2000s,with technological advances in electric vehicles,when the use of electric vehicles began to become widespread,we can say that all three countries began to experience a new adaptation problem in the automotive industry more severely.In Turkey,this problem was experienced with all its weight along with the other country;in 2006,the policy of attracting foreign investment to the automotive industry was partially abandoned and the approach to producing domestic cars began to be considered,and in 2011,a decision was made to produce domestic cars.As of December 2019,a prototype of the domestic car has been produced by the automobile initiative group of Turkey and work has started for mass production.Thus,the problem of adaptation to the production of electric vehicles was desired to be overcome by moving to a new stage in the path of technology development.The South Korean automotive industry used this approach in the 1980s and was successful and soon gained the ability to develop technology.In order to see the success of the application of this method in Turkey,it is thought that it is necessary to wait for the result of the domestic car project.

Historical Development in Brazil and Turkish Automotive Industry

It is possible to say that the automotive industries of Brazil and Turkey have developed as assembly industries and showed great similarities in this context.In the 1980s,in line with the development direction of the world’s automotive industry,Turkey tried to make the country’s investment environment attractive for foreign international companies to produce in their country.We can say that while Brazil created the state incentive system in order to attract foreign investments to its country since the 1950s,it tried to increase its dose with the 1990s.Although,like Turkey,Brazil has thought of producing local cars,the difference between Turkey and Brazil is that it has considered exporting and was able to export not only to South America,but also to African countries.Another difference of Brazil is that it has implemented incentive policies for the automotive sector and has been able to rearrange its incentive elements according to changing conditions.Turkey,on the other hand,has decided to return from the policy of attracting foreign investments to its country since 2006,and in 2011,it was decided to produce domestic automobiles.As of December 2019,a prototype of the domestic car was produced by Turkey’s Automobile Initiative Group and work for mass production began.Thus,the problem of adaptation to electric vehicle production was tried to be overcome by moving to a new phase in the way of technology development.This approach was used by the South Korean automotive industry in the 1980s and it was successful and technology development capability was gained in a short time.In order to see the success of the application of this method in Turkey,it is thought that it is necessary to wait for the result of the domestic automobile project.Brazil,on the other hand,was able to rank high in world automotive industry production with its sectoral incentive policies that can adapt to changing conditions and its structure that considers exports from the past,while Turkey lagged behind.

Elastoplastic constitutive modeling under the complex loading driven by GRU and small-amount data

In this paper,a data-driven method to model the three-dimensional engineering structure under the cyclic load with the one-dimensional stress-strain data is proposed.In this method,one-dimensional stress-strain data obtained under uniaxial load and different loading history is learned offline by gate recurrent unit(GRU)network.The learned constitutive model is embedded into the general finite element framework through data expansion from one dimension to three dimensions,which can perform stress updates under the three-dimensional setting.The proposed method is then adopted to drive numerical solutions of boundary value problems for engineering structures.Compared with direct numerical simulations using the J2 plasticity model,the stress-strain response of beam structure with elastoplastic materials under forward loading,reverse loading and cyclic loading were predicted accurately.Loading path dependent response of structure was captured and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.The shortcomings of the proposed method are also discussed.

成熟型资源城市转型升级的路径依赖或路径创造——基于新企业进入视角

Firm entry plays an important role in the industrial transformation of mature resource-based cities.This study describes the industrial evolution of resource-based cities at the firm level and uses kernel density estimation and econometric models to study the spatiotemporal characteristics and determinants of new firm entry from 2011 to 2019 in four mature resource-based cities.The results are summarized as follows:(1)New resource-based firm entry tends to be natural resource-oriented and path-dependent.The new non-resource-based firms show a high concentration in central urban areas,and the industry types are mainly wholesale and retail of resource products,cultural tourism,and equipment manufacturing.(2)Heterogeneous incumbent firms affect firm entry differently.Affected by competition and agglomeration effects,resource-based and non-resource-based incumbent firms have negative and positive impacts on new resource-based firm entry,respectively.Resourcebased incumbent firm agglomeration positively influences new non-resource-based firm entry.(3)Besides incumbent firms,firm entry can also be affected by multidimensional factors,such as factor costs,economic environment,and institutional environment.Research on new firm entry can better reveal the path dependence and path creation process of the industrial development of resource-based cities from a micro-perspective.

A concept to support the transformation from a linear to circular carbon economy:net zero emissions,resource efficiency and conservation through a coupling of the energy,chemical and waste management sectors

Coal and carbon-containing waste are valuable primary and secondary carbon carriers.In the current dominant linear economy,such carbon resources are generally combusted to produce electricity and heat and as a way to resolve a nation’s waste issue.Not only is this a wastage of precious carbon resources,which can be chemically utilized as raw materials for production of other value-added goods,it is also contrary to international efforts to reduce carbon emissions and increase resource efficiency and conservation.This article presents a concept to support the transformation from a linear‘one-way cradle to grave manufacturing model’toward a circular carbon economy.The development of new and sustainable value chains through the utilization of coal and waste as alternative raw materials for the chemical industry via a coupling of the energy,chemical and waste management sectors offers a viable and future-oriented perspective for closing the carbon cycle.Further benefits also include a lowering of the carbon footprint and increasing resource efficiency and conservation of primary carbon resources.In addition,technological innovations and developments that are necessary to support a successful sector coupling will be identified.To illustrate our concept,a case analysis of domestic coal and waste as alternative feedstock to imported crude oil for chemical production in Germany will be presented.Last but not least,challenges posed by path dependency along technological,institutional and human dimensions in the sociotechnical system for a successful transition toward a circular carbon economy will be discussed.

Long-term behavior and safety assessment of Sance Rockfill Dam

Safety assessment of the 62 m high Sance Rockfill Dam based on long-term monitoring results and their simulation by numerical models is presented in the paper.Unexpectedly large settlements and horizontal movements of the crest together with the steep downstream slope questioned the safety of the dam.Calibrated 2D and 3D models fitting the monitoring results were applied for the safety assessment of the dam including slope stability analysis and estimation of the clay core cracking and hydraulic fracturing hazard.The modeling results contributed to the rehabilitation concept and project of the dam.

Pseudo-Markovian viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate PPDEs

In this paper,we propose a new type of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear path-dependent PDEs.By restricting the solution to a pseudo-Markovian structure defined below,we remove the uniform non-degeneracy condition needed in our earlier works(Ekren,I,Touzi,N,Zhang,J,Ann Probab,44:1212–1253,2016a;Ekren,I,Touzi,N,Zhang,J,Ann Probab,44:2507–2553,2016b)to establish the uniqueness result.We establish the comparison principle under natural and mild conditions.Moreover,we apply our results to two important classes of PPDEs:the stochastic HJB equations and the path-dependent Isaacs equations,induced from the stochastic optimization with random coefficients and the path-dependent zero-sum game problem,respectively.

Institutional Change and Urban Redevelopment Process:A Case Study of Changshoujie,Shanghai

Through investigating the institutional change and urban development in Shanghai since 1978,this research identifi es that the gradual economic reforms have generated dynamic forces for urban development. As an example,this paper examines Changshoujie in detail to uncover its physical changes and to explore how the actors' roles and interests interplay as well as how the transitional institutions of property rights and urban planning have impacted the shaping of urban space. 117 projects constructed since 1978 are classifi ed into six development modes according to the characteristics of land users and developers. Although there is a time lag,the path depending on institutional change has a direct impact on urban development and the consequent spatial structure.
