Bergstrom-Boyce model for nonlinear finite rubber viscoelasticity: theoretical aspects and algorithmic treatment for the FE method

2009-11-01
One of the successful approaches to model the time-dependent behaviour of elastomers is proposed by Bergstrom and Boyce (JMPS 46:931-954, 1998). The model is micromechanically inspired from the relaxation of a single entangled chain in a polymer gel matrix. Although the theory of inelasticity based on multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient is well established, the complexity of the nonlinear evolution law as well as the nonlinear equilibrium and non-equilibrium material response necessitates a precise description of the algorithmic setting. This contribution presents for the first time a novel numerical implementation of the Bergstrom-Boyce model in the context of finite element analysis and elaborates theoretical aspects of the model. The thermodynamical consistency of the evolution law is proven and a parameter study with respect to the material parameters has been carried out. The agreement of the model with the recent experimental data is investigated.

Analytical modeling of a time-threshold based multi-guard bandwidth allocation scheme for cellular networks
Candan, Idil; Salamah, Muhammed (2009-05-28)
In this paper, the analytical modeling of a time-threshold based multi-guard bandwidth allocation scheme is presented using a two-dimensional markov chain. The main idea of the scheme is based on monitoring the elapsed real time of handoff calls and according to a time threshold (t(e)), a handoff call is either slightly-prioritized or fully-prioritized. A slightly-prioritized handoff call has higher priority than a new call and lower priority than a fully-prioritized handoff call. Also in this paper, the nu...
Self-construal differences in perceived work situation and well-being
Beydoğan, Başak; İmamoğlu, Emine Olcay; Department of Psychology (2008)
Based on the theoretical framework provided by Balanced Integration Differentiation (BID) Model ( mamoglu, 1998; 2003) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (Deci and Ryan, 1985), this study aimed to explore possible determinants of Turkish employees’ subjective (i.e., life satisfaction) and psychological well-being. Previous SDT research demonstrated that autonomus causality orientation and perceived autonomy supportiveness of context predicted need satisfaction at work and in turn, employee well-being (e.g....
Fuzzy neural network learning method for time series analysis using multivariate autoregression
Sisman, NA; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (1998-11-13)
This paper describes how temporal fuzzy neural network model proposed in [4] can be applied to time series analysis when a multivariate autoregressive model is constructed. The fuzzy multivariate autoregression procedure is described first, then the temporal fuzzy neural network model using this procedure is presented.
Comparison of two inference approaches in Gaussian graphical models
Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Wit, Ernst (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-04-01)
Introduction: The Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) is one of the well-known probabilistic models which is based on the conditional independency of nodes in the biological system. Here, we compare the estimates of the GGM parameters by the graphical lasso (glasso) method and the threshold gradient descent (TGD) algorithm.
Parametric Identification of Hybrid Linear-Time-Periodic Systems
Uyanik, Ismail; Saranlı, Uluç; Morgul, Omer; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2016-06-24)
In this paper, we present a state-space system identification technique for a class of hybrid LTP systems, formulated in the frequency domain based on input-output data. Other than a few notable exceptions, the majority of studies in the state-space system identification literature (e.g. subspace methods) focus only on LTI systems. Our goal in this study is to develop a technique for estimating time-periodic system and input matrices for a hybrid LTP system, assuming that full state measurements are availab...
