Adaptive Optimal Nonlinear Filtration and Certain Related Topics. II

The properties of the solutions of optimal parametric filtration equations and an adaptive variant of the problem with regard for time-drift of the unknown parameters of the system are studied. Along with the Kalman interpretation of the optimal adaptive nonlinear filter, the Bayes approach to applying the respective a posteriori densities is also studied.

Magnetic field dependence of shielding current density in Y-Ba-Cu-O rings at 77 K

A method for contactless measurement of the shielding critical current density and its dependence on the external magnetic field is described and analyzed. The obtained values are compared with those measured resistively on two different samples. It is shown that the shielding critical current densityJ _cs and the intergranular transport current densityJ _cr are identical if the measurement conditions are similar. A degradation ofJ _cs measured in the external field with AC ripple has been observed.     

Analysis of a stiffener intersection eccentricity in a steel containment

Containment structures have several regions in which the continuity of the cylindrical pressure boundary is interrupted, e.g., shell penetrations, discontinuous stiffeners, and changes in the shell thickness. Significant strain concentrations can occur in these areas of discontinuity. The Sandia National Laboratories 1:8-scale steel containment equipment hatch was analyzed as an example of an eccentricity at a stiffener intersection.A portion of the as-built 1:8-scale model was modeled with the ANSYS general purpose finite element program using triangular, thin shell finite elements. The overall size of the model was determined from Saint-Venant type considerations of the stress field around the hatch. Shell elements were used to model the ring and formed stiffeners. Geometric and material nonlinear behavior were included. The model was loaded using discrete load steps up to a pressure of 165 psig. At this pressure, the maximum strain was 19.7 percent in the formed stiffener near its intersection with the ring stiffener. The finite element solution demonstrated the very localized nature of the strain field near the ring/formed stiffener intersection.In an attempt to reduce analysis costs, a small portion of the 1:8-scale model immediately surrounding the ring/formed stiffener intersection was selected for further analysis. Two smaller models, a ring/formed stiffener intersection and a ring/circular stiffener intersection, were studied. The models were significantly smaller than the regions used previously. A comparison of the two intersection models showed that the circular stiffener is a more efficient configuration.
