Innovation in Active Vibration Control Strategy of Intelligent Structures by A. Moutsopoulou, G. E. Stavroulakis, A. Pouliezos

“…Large amplitudes and attenuating vibration periods result in fatigue, instability, and poor structural performance. In light of past approaches in this field, this paper intends to discuss some innovative approaches in vibration control of intelligent structures, particularly in the case of structures with embedded piezoelectric materials. …”

APPLICABILITY OF SIMILARITY CONDITIONS TO ANALOGUE MODELLING OF TECTONIC STRUCTURES by Mikhail A. Goncharov

“…In any case, a researcher should have a clear vision of conditions applicable to each particular experiment.(2) Application of similarity conditions is often challenging due to unavoidable difficulties caused by the following: a) Imperfection of experimental equipment and technologies (Fig. 1 to 3); b) uncertainties in estimating parameters of formation of natural structures, including main ones: structure size (Fig. 4), time of formation (Fig. 5), deformation properties of the medium wherein such structures are formed, including, first of all, viscosity (Fig. 6), ultimate strength, and tectonic stresses which caused formation of such structures (Fig. 7).(3) A way to overcome the above mentioned difficulties can be found through awareness of the fact that physical similarity conditions are often met per se, i.e. automatically observed due to linear relationships between similarity coefficients (Fig. 8). …”

Existence and Stability of the Periodic Solution with an Interior Transitional Layer in the Problem with a Weak Linear Advection by Nikolay N. Nefedov, Egor Ig. Nikulin

“…For convenience, the known results are given, which ensure the fulfillment of the existence theorem of the contrast structure. The justification for the existence of a solution with an internal transition layer is based on the use of an asymptotic method of differential inequalities based on the modification of the terms of the constructed asymptotic expansion. …”

Development of Quantitative Structure–Anti-Inflammatory Relationships of Alkaloids by Cristian Rojas, Doménica Muñoz, Ivanna Cordero, Belén Tenesaca, Davide Ballabio

“…Molecules were properly curated, and the molecular geometries of the compounds were optimized using the semi-empirical method (PM3) to calculate molecular descriptors, binary fingerprints (extended-connectivity fingerprints and path fingerprints) and MACCS (Molecular ACCess System) structural keys. Then, we calibrated the QSAR models using well-known linear and non-linear machine learning classifiers, i.e., partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA), random forests (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), <i>k</i>-nearest neighbors (<i>k</i>NN), <i>N</i>-nearest neighbors (N3) and binned nearest neighbors (BNN). …”

Hysteretic Live Load Effect in Soil-Steel Structure by Maciej SOBÓTKA, Czesław MACHELSKI

“…This paper deals with the mechanical behaviour of soil-steel structures subjected to live loads. The results of the full scale experiment show that the deformation of such structures is affected not only by the location and intensity of the load, but also by the direction of its movement. …”
