ON A SHAPE IDENTIFICATION PROBLEM
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2010, Vol 55, Issue 3
Abstract
An inverse method using a genetic algorithm and a quasi-Newton method is presented in this paper. We consider the problem of identifying a finite elastic airfilled hollow body of unknown shape embedded in a compressible, inviscid homogeneous fluid, based on the concept of time reversal invariance. A nonlinear model describes the acoustical signature of the scatterer. Numerical simulation is carried out for several examples to illustrate the efficiency of the method.

A NATURAL SONIC COMPOSITE – THE ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere represents a natural sonic composite exhibiting the full band-gaps and localized modes around inhomogeneities given by the wind-velocity jumps. The paper analyses a barometric model including inhomogeneiti...

AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE DETONATION WAVES. APPLICATION FOR HYPERSONIC PROPULSION
The gas flow field within an 1D normal detonation wave at variable specific heats and viscosity with temperature is considered. Such detonation waves appear in the so called air-breathing scramjet engines used at hyperso...

Circular hollow sections (CHS) are widely used in a range of structural engineering applications. The sections may be hot-finished or cold-formed from a variety of metallic materials with a range of yield strengths. The...
ELASTO-PLASTIC FINITE DEFORMATION MODELS FOR ANISOTROPIC DAMAGE
The paper deals with finite deformation elasto-plastic models with anisotropic damage. The models are mathematically coherent and consistent with free energy imbalance principle. One model is based on the existence of de...
