A CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR ELASTIC-PLASTIC DEFORMATION UNDER CYCLIC MULTIAXIAL STRAINING

Abstract— The yield criterion is interpreted as defining the metric of the stress space. Hydrostatic stresses correspond to null geodesies. The plastic strain increment represents a normal projection of the increment undergone by a certain scalar function (hardening function) which depends only on the distance between stress points. This establishes a flow rule formally equivalent to the Prandtl-Reuss equations. Consideration of un-loading processes leads to the analysis of equivalent paths and to the definition of a generalized length or separation which provides a new representation of kinematic hardening.

解集的均匀性评价是多目标进化算法中性能评价的要素之一.文中结合面向个体和面向空间的思想,提出可变影响空间的概念,并基于此提出一种解集均匀性评价方法——基于可变影响空间的多目标进化算法的解集均匀性评价方法(VISUM).该方法通过分析个体在可变影响空间内的相对均匀程度,能准确反映解集的分布均匀性.实验结果证明文中方法的可行性和有效性.     

Time series clustering and classification by the autoregressive metric

The statistical properties of the autoregressive (AR) distance between ARIMA processes are investigated. In particular, the asymptotic distribution of the squared AR distance and an approximation which is computationally efficient are derived. Moreover, the problem of time series clustering and classification is discussed and the performance of the AR distance is illustrated by means of some empirical applications.     

On the Competitive Ratio for Online Facility Location

We consider the problem of Online Facility Location, where the demand points arrive online and must be assigned irrevocably to an open facility upon arrival. The objective is to minimize the sum of facility and assignment costs. We prove that the competitive ratio for Online Facility Location is Θ . On the negative side, we show that no randomized algorithm can achieve a competitive ratio better than Ω against an oblivious adversary even if the demands lie on a line segment. On the positive side, we present a deterministic algorithm which achieves a competitive ratio of in every metric space.

Robust metric calibration of non-linear camera lens distortion

Camera lens distortion is crucial to obtain the best performance cameral model. Up to now, different techniques exist, which try to minimize the calibration error using different lens distortion models or computing them in different ways. Some compute lens distortion camera parameters in the camera calibration process together with the intrinsic and extrinsic ones. Others isolate the lens distortion calibration without using any template and basing the calibration on the deformation in the image of some features of the objects in the scene, like straight lines or circles. These lens distortion techniques which do not use any calibration template can be unstable if a complete camera lens distortion model is computed. They are named non-metric calibration or self-calibration methods.Traditionally a camera has been always best calibrated if metric calibration is done instead of self-calibration. This paper proposes a metric calibration technique which computes the camera lens distortion isolated from the camera calibration process under stable conditions, independently of the computed lens distortion model or the number of parameters. To make it easier to resolve, this metric technique uses the same calibration template that will be used afterwards for the calibration process. Therefore, the best performance of the camera lens distortion calibration process is achieved, which is transferred directly to the camera calibration process.

An exact algorithm for minimum distortion embedding

Let G be an unweighted connected graph on n vertices. We show that an embedding of the shortest path metric of G into the line with minimum distortion can be found in time 5^n+o(n). This is the first algorithm breaking the trivial n!-barrier.
