A robust radial distortion correction method that requires only a single image of the distorted imaged pattern is presented. The method is robust to the orientation of the imaged pattern and does not require the availability ...

The Elastic Finite Element Method based on the inherent strain theory is used to predict the welding distortion of ship structures. In addition, a method to predict welding distortion of complex structures by using elastic ...

When a scaled structure (model or replica) is used to predict the response of a full-size compound (prototype), the model geometric dimensions should relate to the corresponding prototype dimensions by a single scaling ...

Cold-formed steel members are subject to failure caused by buckling, normally under loads smaller than those corresponding to partial or total yielding of the cross section. The buckling of members in bending can be ...

In order to achieve automation of the plate forming process by line heating, it is necessary to know in advance the deformation to be obtained under specific heating conditions. Currently, different methods exist to predict ...

The reaction energetics of 280 polar Diels–Alder (DA) reactions between 70 dienophiles and 4 dienes have been studied in detail using the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory, combining conceptual density functional theory (DFT) ...

Many studies about porphyrins have emerged in recent years, including studies using porphyrins as building blocks for supramolecular assemblies. Understanding new solid state forms of porphyrins and the elucidation of their ...
