A Solvable Dynamic Principal-Agent Model with Linear Marginal Productivity by Bing Liu, Zheng Yin, Chong Lai

“…We study how to design an optimal contract which provides incentives for agent to put forth the desired effort in a continuous time dynamic moral hazard model with linear marginal productivity. Using exponential utility and linear production, three different information structures, full information, hidden actions and hidden savings, are considered in the principal-agent model. …”

Fractional Vortex Dynamics in Two-Band Superconductors with Linear Normal Strips by Ariday S. Mosquera-Polo, Edwan A. Aríza-Echeverri, Cristhian Aguirre, Luis F. Muñoz-Martínez, Julián Faúndez

“…In the absence of pinning, composite vortices dominate throughout the sample, while non-composite (dissociated) vortices appear only near the vortex entry edge, with energy dissipation primarily governed by the motion of composite structures. To modulate vortex behavior, we introduce linear regions of locally suppressed superconductivity, oriented either perpendicular or parallel to the vortex trajectory. …”

Diffusive transport along a structured surface: ratchet effect stability when changing the potential profile type by T. Ye. Korochkova, O. V. Mashira, T. Yu. Gromovoy, A. D. Terets

“… The phenomenon of the ratchet effect provides the motion a large number of molecular machines, existing in nature and artificially created nanomechanisms, capable to initiate directed diffusion movement along periodic structures. Two key factors, necessary for the ratchet effect occurrence, are the presence of asymmetry in the system and the organization of the non-equilibrium fluctuations process. …”

Nonlinear Finite Analysis of Structural Behavior of Brick Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames by Mahmud Kori Effendi, Astriana Hardawati, Siti Aliyyah Masjuki

“… Earthquake disasters are one source of disaster that often causes buildings to experience total collapse or partial damage so that the structure may no longer be usable. Brick masonry wall construction, both unreinforced and reinforced masonry walls, is starting to be widely used in the world. …”

Study on the Microscopic Pore Characteristics and Mechanisms of Disturbance Damage in Zhanjiang Formation Structural Clay by Yanhua Xie, Bin Tang, Shuaiyu Liu, Jicheng Xu, Binghui Zhang

“…Based on the evolution characteristics of the microstructure, the microscopic pore characteristics of the disturbance damage of Zhanjiang Formation structural clay were examined. The results indicate the following. (1) The porosity in three-dimensional visualization images of the microstructure reconstructed by ArcGIS 10.1 increases with the disturbance degree, showing a linear growth trend. (2) The correlation analysis between macroscopic mechanics and microscopic pores shows that the unconfined compressive strength of Zhanjiang Formation structural clay is mainly affected by its porosity, with a significant linear negative correlation. …”

Robust Assignment of Natural Frequencies and Antiresonances in Vibrating Systems through Dynamic Structural Modification by Roberto Caracciolo, Dario Richiedei, Iacopo Tamellin

“…This paper proposes a novel method for the robust partial assignment of natural frequencies and antiresonances, together with the partial assignment of the related eigenvectors, in lightly damped linear vibrating systems. Dynamic structural modification is exploited to assign the eigenvalues, either of the system or of the adjoint system, together with their sensitivity with respect to some parameters of interest. …”
