The aim of this research is to assess the response of a thin membrane subjected to high-pressure gas loading for inflation. This procedure is applied during the design process of the membrane structure to allow the product to resist high-pressure loading and to further characterize the hyper-elastic material. The simulation in this work considers the standard procedures used in the LS-DYNA software, ...

In the environmental field, the problems of vibration reduction have become a major preoccupation, particularly on the noise generated by the acoustic radiation pressure produced by wind turbines. This paper is aimed at presenting the investigation on the application of FEM element method for study the acoustic radiation pressure produced by vertical-axis wind turbine. For this initiative, we ...

The evacuation of passengers from a ship in distress is an essential measure in marine safety. Safety is only guaranteed when the passengers are evacuated to shore, especially in remote areas like the arctic region. There has been growing awareness with lack of knowledge, standards, routine, and documentation regarding marine search and rescue in the arctic region in recent years. This has been the ...

In this paper, we generalize a Hardy-type inequality to the class of arbitrary non-negative functions bounded from below and above with a convex function multiplied with positive real constants. This enables us to obtain new generalizations of the classical integral Hardy, Hardy-Hilbert, Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and Pólya-Knopp inequalities as well as of Godunova’s and of some recently obtained ...

In this paper we derive and discuss some new theorems related to all rearrangements of a given set in Rn , denoted (x) and use the results to prove some new Jensen type inequalities for convex, superquadratic, strongly convex and 1 -quasiconvex functions.

We consider the generalized Lorentz space L_ψ,q defined via a continuous and concave function ψ and the Fourier series of a function with respect to an unbounded orthonormal system. Some new Fourier and Jackson-Nikol’skii type inequalities in this frame are stated, proved and discussed. In particular, the derived results generalize and unify several well-known results but also some new applications ...

We describe the emergence of topological singularities in periodic media within the Ginzburg–Landau model and the core-radius approach. The energy functionals of both models are denoted by Eε,δ, where ε represent the coherence length (in the Ginzburg–Landau model) or the core-radius size (in the core-radius approach) and δ denotes the periodicity scale. We carry out the -convergence analysis ...

This master's thesis reports on security of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) in the department of industrial engineering at UiT campus Narvik. The CPS targets connecting distinctive robots in the laboratory in the department of industrial engineering. The ultimate objective of the department is to propose such a system for the industry. The thesis focuses on the network architecture of the CPS and ...

This thesis will investigate different robotic manipulation and grasping approaches. It will present an overview of robotic simulation environments, and offer an evaluation of PyBullet, CoppeliaSim, and Gazebo, comparing various features. The thesis further presents a background for current approaches to robotic manipulation and grasping by describing how the robotic movement and grasping can be ...

In this thesis, the ability of CharRNN models learning to compose guitar music using varying representations of guitar tablature is explored. I utilize a well-versed sequential model of LSTM cells, and investigate the ability of said model to input, and predict both character to character, and sequence to sequence, following the principles of natural language processing and music information ...
