The 3D finite-difference model of the Oroville EF dam is modeled using the finite difference method. Burger Creep (BC) material model is utilized for the foundation and dam body materials. Special interface elements are taken into account between the dam body and foundation. Fix, free field, and quiet seismic boundary conditions are considered for 3D nonlinear earthquake analyses. Total six various strong near-fault earthquakes are used in the 3D analyses. According to the non-linear earthquake analyses, principal stresses, horizontal and vertical displacements for three nodal points are assessed in detail and numerical results are compared for reflecting and non-reflecting seismic boundary conditions. It is clearly understood that seismic boundary conditions should not be utilized randomly for 3D modeling and analysis of EF dams.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"55 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43156709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the latter, the navigation of ships in ports has specific challenges since ship dynamics are highly nonlinear with limited agility, while the manoeuvre space in ports is limited. Nevertheless, for providing support to humanly designed control strategies, autonomously generated trajectories have not only to be feasible, i.e. collision-free but shall also be optimal with respect to manoeuvre time and control effort. This article presents a novel approach to autonomous trajectory planning on the basis of precomputed and connectable trajectory segments, the so-called motion primitives, and an A*-search algorithm. Sequences of motion primitives provide an initial guess for a subsequent optimization by which optimal trajectories are found even in terrains with many obstacles. We illustrate the approach with different navigation scenarios.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43859391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Machine learning has the potential to bridge this gap by providing a link between what people observe and how they act in order to reach their goal. In this paper we use a framework for agent-based modelling that utilizes human values like fairness, conformity and altruism. Using this framework we simulate a public goods game and compare to experimental results. We can report good agreement between simulation and experiment and furthermore find that the presented framework outperforms strict reinforcement learning. Both the framework and the utility function are generic enough that they can be used for arbitrary systems, which makes this method a promising candidate for a foundation of a universal agent-based model.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"95 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44931511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present numerical model is validated through the existing study of Lepelletier (1981) and convergence analysis is also conducted to determine the convergence rate. The present FEM model is implemented on realistic Paradip port, Odisha, India to determine the wave amplitude at various record stations.

The airway geometry segment from the oral cavity to the primary bronchi is reconstructed from CT scan images of a human subject in the standing posture. The inlet flow condition is derived from dynamic cough profiles obtained from two subjects. The mathematical model allows the laryngopharyngeal wall of the airway to remodel. A k-ω turbulence model is used to represent the transitional flow. A Lagrangian approach is used to track solid penetrants in the flow field as a function of penetrant size and density. High velocities are predicted at peak expiratory cough phase. The penetrant size significantly influences the particle residence time and drag force is largely responsible for changes in the penetrant momentum. The smaller penetrants act like tracers in the flow and can escape the airway faster than larger penetrants.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"222 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13873954.2021.1889608","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45358416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
