Therein, a generalized transformation matrix for loads with respect to the shear centre is derived, this accounting for the bimoments that develop due to the way the combined loads are applied. This and the authors’ earlier paper (World Journal of Mechanics 2021, 11, 205-236) provide a full solution to the theory of thin-walled, open-section structures bearing combined loading. The earlier work identified arbitrary loading with the section’s area properties that are necessary to axial and shear stress calculations within the structure’s thin walls. In the previous paper attention is paid to the relevant axes of loading and to the transformations of loading required between axes for stress calculations arising from tension/compression, bending, torsion and shear. The derivation of the general transformation matrix applies to all types of loadings including, axial tensile and compression forces, transverse shear, longitudinal bending. One application, representing all these load cases, is given of a simple channel cantilever with an eccentrically located end load.展开更多

The main goal of this article is to introduce the paranormed sequence spaces L∞(B,p), c(B,p), and co(B,p), which are more general and comprehensive than the corresponding consequences of the matrix domain of B(r, s), as well as other studies in literature. Besides this, the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals of the spaces L∞ (B, p), c(B, p), and co (B, p) are computed and the bases of the spaces c(B, p) and co (B, p) are constructed.

Firstly, the fundamental vibration mode was applied to wavelet analysis. The crack location was found by the peaks of the wavelet coefficients. Secondly, based on the identified crack locations, a simple transform matrix method requiring only the first two tested natural frequencies was used to further identify the crack depth. The present method can be used for crack identification in a complex structure. Numerical results of crack identification of a stepped cantilever beam show that the suggested method is feasible.展开更多

As an example, the roadmap of such inner transformation is presented based on a simple multiple linear regression model in this work. By applying the matrix algorithms like singular value decomposition (SVD) and Moore-Penrose generalized matrix inverse, the dependent variable vector lands into the right space of the independent variable matrix and is metamorphosed into regression coefficient estimator vector through the three-step of inner transformation. This work explores the geometrical relationship between the dependent variable vector and regression coefficient estimator vector as well as presents a new approach for vector rotating.展开更多

All of them are Legendre's transformation, which are implemented by 32 matrices of 8 x 8 which are homomorphic to D-4 point group of 8 elements with correspondence of 4:1. Transformations and relationships of four state functions G(P, T), H(P, S), U(V, S), F(V, T) and four variables P, V, T, S in thermodynamics, are just the same Lagendre's transformations with the relationships of canonical transformations. The state functions of thermodynamics are summarily founded on experimental results of macroscope measurements, and Hamilton's canonical transformations are theoretical generalization of classical mechanics. Both group represents are the same, and it is to say, their mathematical frames are the same. This generality indicates the thermodynamical transformation is an example of one-dimensional Hamilton's canonical transformation.展开更多

Different configurations of metamorphic mechanism aredescribed through the method of Huston lower body arrays. Kinematics analyses for metamorphicmechanism with generalized topological structure, including the velocity, angular velocity,acceleration and angular acceleration, are given. Dynamic equations for an arbitrary configuration,including close-loop constraints, are formed by using Kane's equations. For an arbitrary metamorphicmechanism, the transformation matrix of generalized speeds between configuration zeta and zeta+1 isobtained for the first time. Furthermore, configuration-complete dynamic modeling of metamorphicmechanism including all configurations is completely established.展开更多
