We study numerical simulations of large (\({N{\approx}10^4}\)) two-dimensional quasi-static granular assemblies subjected to a slowly increasing deviator stress. We report some peculiarities in the behavior of these packings that have not yet been addressed. The number of sliding contacts is not necessarily related to stability: first the number of sliding contacts rises linearly and smoothly with the applied stress. Then, at approximately half the peak stress, the increase slows down, a plateau develops, and a decrease follows. The spatial organization of sliding contacts also changes: during the first half of the simulation, sliding contacts are uniformly distributed throughout the packing, but in the second half, they become concentrated in certain regions. This suggests that the loss of homogeneity occurs well before the appearance of shear bands. During the second half events appear where the number of sliding contacts drops suddenly, and then rapidly recovers. We show that these events are in fact local instabilities in the packing. These events become more frequent as failure is approached. For these two reasons, we call these events precursors, since they are similar to the precursors recently observed in both numerical (Staron et al. Phys Rev Lett 89:204302, 2002; Nerone et al. Phys Rev E 67:011302, 2003) and experimental (Gibiat et al. J Acoust Soc Am 123:3142, 2009; Scheller et al. Phys Rev E 74:031311, 2006; Zaitsev et al. Eur Phys Lett 83:64003, 2008; Aguirre et al.

Censored data are quite common in statistics and have been studied in depth in the last years [for some references, see Powell (J Econom 25(3):303–325, 1984), Murphy et al. (Math Methods Stat 8(3):407–425, 1999), Chay and Powell (J Econ Perspect 15(4):29–42, 2001)]. In this paper, we consider censored high-dimensional data. High-dimensional models are in some way more complex than their low-dimensional versions, therefore some different techniques are required. For the linear case, appropriate estimators based on penalised regression have been developed in the last years [see for example Bickel et al. (Ann Stat 37(4):1705–1732, 2009), Koltchinskii (Bernoulli 15:799–828, 2009)]. In particular, in sparse contexts, the \(l_1\)-penalised regression (also known as LASSO) [see Tibshirani (J R Stat Soc Ser B 58:267–288, 1996), Bühlmann and van de Geer (Statistics for high-dimensional data. Springer, Heidelberg, 2011) and reference therein] performs very well. Only few theoretical work was done to analyse censored linear models in a high-dimensional context. We therefore consider a high-dimensional censored linear model, where the response variable is left censored. We propose a new estimator, which aims to work with high-dimensional linear censored data. Theoretical non-asymptotic oracle inequalities are derived. 相似文献

This work examines the bulk internal friction coefficient, \(\mu \), and effective wall friction coefficient, \(\mu _w\), for finite number of nearly identical dry glass spheres in avalanche down a narrow inclined reservoir of smooth frictional bed using a validated discrete element scheme. Instantaneous deviatoric strain rate tensor \(\dot{\gamma }^d_{ij}\) and stress tensor \(\tau _{ij}\) are computed locally to evaluate a three-dimensional constitutive model developed based on the rheology of steady homogeneous surface flows. On one side, the algebraic \(\mu -I\) relation conforms to conventional relation for glass beads, \(\mu =0.34+0.31/(1+0.15/I)\) (Jop et al. in J. Fluid Mech. 541:167–192, 2005, Midi in Eur. Phys. J. E 14:341–365, 2004, Jop in Comptes Rendus Phys. 16:62–72, 2015), when the inertial number \(I>I_{c}=2\times 10^{-2}\). The assumption of collinear \(\tau _{ij}\) and \(\dot{\gamma }^d_{ij}\), however, does not hold and such misalignment agrees to the findings in non-uniform inhomogeneous flows (Cortet et al. in Europhys. Lett. 88(1):14001, 2009). Below \(I_c\), we observe a decaying \(\mu -I\) as found in slowly deforming rheology tests and a simplified model is developed in view of shear-induced dilatation upon yielding. Non-constant effective wall friction coefficient is measured to grow in time and with I towards the sphere-wall sliding friction coefficient in the contact model while preserving the depth-weakening feature as in confined steady surface flows (Richard et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 101:248002, 2008, Brodu et al. in Phys. Rev. E 87:022202, 2013). The fact that rotation at one sphere center can divert surface relative velocity across the contact area to render lower sliding friction is considered to develop a model describing how \(\mu _w\) drops with the ratio between rotation-induced velocity and sliding velocity, \(\varOmega \). The simulation data compares fairly well to the predicted monotonic decay of \(\mu _w\) with \(\varOmega \). 相似文献

Inference procedures based on the minimization of divergences are popular statistical tools. Beran (Ann stat 5(3):445–463, 1977) proved consistency and asymptotic normality of the minimum Hellinger distance (MHD) estimator. This method was later extended to the large class of disparities in discrete models by Lindsay (Ann stat 22(2):1081–1114, 1994) who proved existence of a sequence of roots of the estimating equation which is consistent and asymptotically normal. However, the current literature does not provide a general asymptotic result about the minimizer of a generic disparity. In this paper, we prove, under very general conditions, an asymptotic representation of the minimum disparity estimator itself (and not just for a root of the estimating equation), thus generalizing the results of Beran (Ann stat 5(3):445–463, 1977) and Lindsay (Ann stat 22(2):1081–1114, 1994). This leads to a general framework for minimum disparity estimation encompassing both discrete and continuous models. 相似文献

We report an extension of diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) to the calculation of the molecular rotational energies by means of the generalized, symmetry-adapted, imaginary-time correlation functions (SAITCFs) originally introduced in the reptation quantum Monte Carlo (RQMC) framework (?krbi? in J Phys Chem A 111:12749, 2007). We studied the a-type and b-type rotational lines of the CO(\(^{4}\)He)\(_{N}\) clusters with \(N=\)1–8 that correlate, in the dimer limit, with the end-over-end and free-rotor transitions. We compare the SAITCF–DMC results with accurate DVR (for the dimer case), RQMC and other DMC data, and with reference experimental findings (Surin in Phys Rev Lett 101:233401, 2008). A good agreement is generally found, but a systematic underestimation of the SAITCF–DMC rotational energies of the b-type series is observed. Sources of inaccuracy in our theoretical approach and in the computational protocol are discussed and analyzed in detail. 相似文献

Okasha et al. (J Failure Anal Prevention, 2017. doi: 10.1007/s11668-017-0263-x) introduced the novel Topp–Leone geometric distribution. Here, we introduce a class of distributions containing [32]’s distribution as a particular case. The class of distributions contains several important distributions, including the Topp–Leone geometric, Topp–Leone Poisson, Topp–Leone logarithmic, Topp–Leone binomial and Topp–Leone negative binomial distributions. We derive comprehensive mathematical properties of the class. We obtain closed form expressions for the density function, cumulative distribution function, survival and hazard rate functions, moments, mean residual lifetime, mean past lifetime, order statistics and moments of order statistics. The class is shown to be more flexible by reanalyzing the real data set in [32]. 相似文献

In this study, we propose a procedure for simultaneous testing \(l (l\ge 1)\) linear relations on \(k(k\ge 2)\) high-dimensional mean vectors with heterogeneous covariance matrices, which extends the result derived by Nishiyama et al. (J Stat Plan Inference 143(11):1898–1911, 2013) and does not need the normality assumption. The newly proposed test statistic is motivated by Bai and Saranadasa (Statistica Sinica 6(2):311–329, 1996) and Chen and Qin (Ann Stat 38(2):808–835, 2010). As a special case, our result could be applied to multivariate analysis of variance, that is, testing the equality of k high-dimensional mean vectors. 相似文献

The crystallization from solution of an active pharmaceutical ingredient requires the knowledge of the solubility in the entire temperature range investigated during the process. However, during the development of a new active ingredient, these data are missing. Its experimental determination is possible, but tedious. UNIFAC Group contribution method Fredenslund et al. (Vapor–liquid equilibria using UNIFAC: a group contribution method, 1977; AIChE J 21:1086, 1975) can be used to predict this physical property. Several modifications on this model have been proposed since its development in 1977, modified UNIFAC of Dortmund Weidlich et al. (Ind Eng Chem Res 26:1372, 1987), Gmehling et al. (Ind Eng Chem Res 32:178, 1993), Pharma-modified UNIFAC Diedrichs et al. (Evaluation und Erweiterung thermodynamischer Modelle zur Vorhersage von Wirkstofflöslichkeiten, PhD Thesis, 2010), KT-UNIFAC Kang et al. (Ind Eng Chem Res 41:3260, 2002), \(\ldots \) In this study, we used UNIFAC model by considering the linear temperature dependence of interaction parameters as in Pharma-modified UNIFAC and structural groups as defined by KT-UNIFAC first-order model. More than 100 binary datasets were involved in the estimation of interaction parameters. These new parameters were then used to calculate activity coefficient and solubility of some molecules in various solvents at different temperatures. The model gives better results than those from the original UNIFAC and shows good agreement between the experimental solubility and the calculated one. 相似文献

When testing hypotheses in two-sample problems, the Lepage test has often been used to jointly test the location and scale parameters, and has been discussed by many authors over the years. The Lepage test was a combination of the Wilcoxon statistic and the Ansari–Bradley statistic. Various Lepage-type tests were proposed with discussions of an asymptotic relative efficiency (Duran et al., Biometrika 63:173–176, 1976; Goria, Stat Neerl 36:3–13, 1982), a robustness and a power comparison (Neuhäuser, Commun Stat Theory Methods 29:67–78, 2000; Büning, J Appl Stat 29:907–924, 2002) and an adaptive test (Büning and Thadewald, J Stat Comput Sim 65:287–310, 2000). We derive an expression for the moment generating function of a linear combination of two linear rank statistics. As a suggested Lepage-type test, we use a combination of the generalized Wilcoxon statistic and the generalized Mood statistic. Deriving the exact critical value of the statistic can be difficult when the sample sizes are increasing. In this situation, an approximation method to the distribution function of the test statistic can be useful with a higher order moment. We use a moment-based approximation with an adjusted gamma polynomial to evaluate the upper tail probability of a Lepage-type test for a finite sample size. We determine the asymptotic efficiencies of the Lepage and Lepage-type tests for various distributions. 相似文献

In this paper we compute the density of monic and non-monic Eisenstein polynomials of fixed degree having entries in an integrally closed subring of a function field over a finite field. This gives a function field analogue of results by Dubickas (Appl Algebra Eng Commun Comput 14(2):127–132, 2003) and by Heyman and Shparlinski (Appl Algebra Eng Commun Comput 24(2):149–156, 2013). 相似文献

In one-dimensional regression models, we establish a rate for the rth moment convergence \((r \geqslant 1)\) of the ordinary least-squares estimator involving explicitly the regressors, answering to an open question raised lately by Afendras and Markatou (Test 25:775–784, 2016). An extension of the classic Theorem 2.6.1 of Anderson (The statistical analysis of time series, Wiley, New York, 1971) is also presented. 相似文献

A plug-in estimator is proposed for a local measure of variance explained by regression, termed correlation curve in Doksum et al. (J Am Stat Assoc 89:571–582, 1994), consisting of a two-step spline–kernel estimator of the conditional variance function and local quadratic estimator of first derivative of the mean function. The estimator is oracally efficient in the sense that it is as efficient as an infeasible correlation estimator with the variance function known. As a consequence of the oracle efficiency, a smooth simultaneous confidence band (SCB) is constructed around the proposed correlation curve estimator and shown to be asymptotically correct. Simulated examples illustrate the versatility of the proposed oracle SCB which confirms the asymptotic theory. Application to a 1995 British Family Expenditure Survey data has found marginally significant evidence for a local version of Engel’s law, i.e., food budget share and household real income are inversely related (Hamilton in Am Econ Rev 91:619–630, 2001). 相似文献

Metal carbon eutectic cells (high-temperature fixed points, HTFPs) (Machin in AIP Conf Proc 1552:305, 2013) are being considered for use as reliable high-temperature references for non-contact thermometry above the copper point (\(1084.62\,^{\circ }\hbox {C}\)). Recent studies have demonstrated the concept of using doped metal carbon eutectic cells as artefacts suitable for temperature scale comparisons (Teixeira et al. in AIP Conf Proc 1552:363, 2013; Teixeira et al. in Int J Thermophys 35:467–474, 2014; Machin et al. in Int J Thermophys 36:327–335, 2015). When using such artefacts, the participating institutes do not know the realization temperature of the doped HTFP cell, because it has been modified by the addition of a selected dopant at a definite concentration. The use of such fixed points can critically evaluate the real measurement capability of the institutes in any comparison. The pyrometry laboratory of Inmetro developed a set of doped Ni–C eutectic cells in 2012 and 2013. This paper describes the long-term stability of a Sn-doped Ni–C cell constructed in 2012, which accumulated more than 220 h above \(1300\,^{\circ }\hbox {C}\) amounting to more than 50 cycles of melts and freezes. The cell remained stable, well within the measurement uncertainty, throughout the evaluation period demonstrating the utility of such cells for scale comparison purposes. 相似文献

We examine the dynamics of a one-dimensional harmonically trapped Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), induced by the addition of a dimple trap whose depth oscillates with time. For this purpose, the Lagrangian variational method (LVM) is applied to provide the required analytical equations. The goal is to provide an analytical explanation for the quasiperiodic oscillations of the BEC size at resonance, that is additional to the one given by Adhikari (J Phys B At Mol Opt Phys 36:1109, 2003). It is shown that LVM is able to reproduce instabilities in the dynamics along the same lines outlined by Lellouch et al. (Phys Rev X 7:021015, 2017). Moreover, it is found that at resonance the energy dynamics display ordered oscillations, whereas at off-resonance they tend to be chaotic. Further, by using the Poincare–Lindstedt method to solve the LVM equation of motion, the resulting solution is able to reproduce the quasiperiodic oscillations of the BEC. 相似文献

The aim of this work is to present a computationally efficient algorithm to simulate the butt curl deformation. In our previous articles [1, 2] the nonlinearities due to the viscoplastic law and the contact condition with the bottom block were solved by means of duality methods involving two multipliers. In [1] these multipliers were computed with a fixed point algorithm and in [2] with a generalized Newton’s method. In this work we improve the viscoplastic algorithm by means of a generalized duality method with variable parameters. We will present numerical results showing the applicability of the resultant algorithm to casting processes. 相似文献

Numerical simulations based on the bifurcation and imperfection versions of the strain localization theory are used in this paper to predict the failure loci of metals and applied to an advanced high strength steel subjected to proportional loading paths. The results are evaluated against the 3D unit cell analyses of Dunand and Mohr (J Mech Phys Solids 66(1):133–153, 2014. doi: 10.1016/j.jmps.2014.01.008) available in the literature. The Gurson porous plasticity model (Gurson in J Eng Mater Technol 99(1):2–15, 1977. doi: 10.1115/1.344340) is used to induce strain softening and drive the localization process. The effects of the void growth, void nucleation and void softening in shear are investigated over a large range of stress triaxialities and Lode parameters. A correlation between the imperfection and bifurcation results is established. 相似文献

The argon triple point (\(T_{90} = 83.8058\,\hbox {K}\)) is a fixed point of the International Temperature Scale of Preston-Thomas (Metrologia 27:3, 1990). Cells for realization of the fixed point have been manufactured by several European metrology institutes (Pavese in Metrologia 14:93, 1978; Pavese et al. in Temperature, part 1, American Institute of Physics, College Park, 2003; Hermier et al. in Temperature, part 1, American Institute of Physics, College Park, 2003; Pavese and Beciet in Modern gas-based temperature and pressure measurement, Springer, New York, 2013). The Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research has in its disposal a few argon cells of various constructions used for calibration of capsule-type standard platinum resistance thermometers (CSPRT) that were produced within 40 years. These cells differ in terms of mechanical design and thermal properties, as well as source of gas filling the cell. This paper presents data on differences between temperature values obtained during the realization of the triple point of argon in these cells. For determination of the temperature, a heat-pulse method was applied (Pavese and Beciet in Modern gas-based temperature and pressure measurement, Springer, New York, 2013). The comparisons were performed using three CSPRTs. The temperatures difference was determined in relation to a reference function \(W(T)=R(T_{90})/R(271.16\hbox {K})\) in order to avoid an impact of CSPRT resistance drift between measurements in the argon cells. Melting curves and uncertainty budgets of the measurements are given in the paper. A construction of measuring apparatus is also presented in this paper. 相似文献

The present work demonstrates implementation of a mass-conserving sharp-interface immersed boundary for simulation of flows in branched arterial geometries. A simplistic two-dimensional arterial junction is considered to capture the preliminary flow physics in the aortic regions. Numerical solutions are benchmarked against established available experimental PIV results in Ensley et al (Annu. Thorac. Surg. 68(4):1384–1390, 1999) and numerical predictions in Gilmanov and Sotiropoulos (J. Comput. Phys. 207(2):457–492, 2005) and de Zelicourt et al (Comput. Fluids 38(9):1749–1762, 2009). Simulations are further carried out for pulsated flows and effects of blockages near the junctions (due to stenosis or atherosclerosis). Instabilities in the flow structures near the junction and the resulting changes in the downstream pulsation frequency were observed. These changes account for the physiological heart defects that arise from the poorly working valve (due to blockage), giving rise to chest pain and breathing instability, and can potentially be used as a detection tool for arterial diseases. 相似文献

In the first part of our study (Zhang and Glänzel in Scientometrics, 2017) we provided a view of the literature ageing based on a synchronous approach. Taking up the ideas by Egghe (Scientometrics 27(2):195–214, 1993) and Glänzel et al. (Scientometrics 109(3):2165–2179, 2016) we extend our study in the second part by applying a diachronous approach on the basis of citing literature. For this purpose we used the Prospective Price Index which was recently introduced by Glänzel et al. (Scientometrics 109(3):2165–2179, 2016). Finally, we compare the two aspects of literature ageing. In particular, we analyze the correlation between the share of recent references and the share of fast response, and found a generally positive correlation between both aspects at different levels of aggregation (subfields, major fields and the individual paper level). However, the consistence varies among different aggregations. For examples, on the level of subject fields, Chemistry, Biology, Neuroscience & Behavior are found with evidently better ranks by Prospective Price Index than Price Index, indicating their faster ageing process in the mirror of citations than references, while Engineering and Social sciences are found with the opposite ageing features. At the journal level, we observed a striking divergence between the reference and citation ageing patterns in some cases. Thus several journals proved ‘hard’ from the perspective of information sources (cited papers) but, at the same time, rather ‘soft’ in the light of information targets (citing papers). 相似文献

The article considers the history of electroshock therapy as a history of medical technology, professional cooperation and business competition. A variation of a history from below is intended; though not from the patients’ perspective (Porter, Theory Soc 14:175–198, 1985), but with a focus on electrodes, circuitry and patents. Such a ‘material history’ of electroshock therapy reveals that the technical make-up of electroshock devices and what they were used for was relative to the changing interests of physicians, industrial companies and mental health politics; it makes an intriguing case for the Social Construction of Technology theory (Bijker et al., The social construction of technological systems: new directions in the sociology and history of technology. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1987). 相似文献
