A nonlinear concrete damaged plasticity model for simulation reinforced concrete structures using ABAQUS
The reinforced concrete structure is typical and widely used in many fields. The behavior of concrete is nonlinear and complex. Especially, when cracks/crushings occurred in softening phase. Thus, It is important to find a damaged model of concrete with high reliability in the numerical simulation. The nonlinear behavior of concrete is the most feature used in the simulation. This characteristic is expressed through the parameters defining the yield surface, the flow potential, and the nonlinear relationship of stress-strain in the cases of tension and compression. This paper introduces a damaged concrete model that applies to the simulation of reinforced concrete structures. The reinforced concrete beam and flat slab are selected as examples to evaluate the reliability of the model presented. Through the results achieved, the model used in this paper shows high reliability and can be used to simulate more complex reinforced concrete structures
VNINDEX INDEX: A VIEW FROM QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
The financial strategy towards 2030 in Decision no. 368/QD-TTg enacted on 21/3/2022 by the Vietnam Prime Minister had set developmental goals for the stock market to become a channel to promote mid-and-long term capital raising for the economy, to continue changing the structure to be more appropriate for the monetary, the capital, the stock, and the bonds market. In the past two years, the stock market in Vietnam has manifested impressive growth. A prime example is the active growth of private investors. However, many challenges and loopholes still exist in the stock market. The stock market is a special market as the fluctuation of the VN-index index is affected by many factors including the expectations of the investor. When the market shows trends of increases in points then investors expect the next session to grow as well, leading to a rise in sales even for stocks with inflating costs, thus the VNindex will increase and vice versa. The structure of the econometric is utilized to assess the impacts of the VN-index of the previous month on the index of the following month on the Vietnamese stock market in the period from January 2019 to May 2022. The conclusion of the quantitative analysis shows that if the VN-index of the previous month increases by 1% then the VNindex of the following month will increase by 0.965% or vice versa. From the results of the analysis, the research team has proposed a few discussion points intending to stabilize the stock market in the upcoming time and develop the market according to the financial strategy towards 2030 in Decision no. 368/QD-TTg by the Vietnam Prime Ministe
Multi-User Visible Light Communication Broadcast Channels With Zero-Forcing Precoding
This paper studies zero-forcing (ZF) precoding designs for multi-user multiple-input single-output visible light communication (VLC) broadcast channels. In such broadcast systems, the main challenging issue arises from the presence of multi-user interference (MUI) among non-coordinated users. In order to completely suppress the MUI, ZF precoding, which is originally designed for radio frequency (RF) communications, is adopted. Different from RF counterpart, VLC signal is inherently non-negative and has a limited linear range, which leads to an amplitude constraint on the input data signal. Unlike the average power constraint, obtaining the exact capacity for an amplitude-constrained channel is more cumbersome. In this paper, we first investigate lower and upper bounds on the capacity of an amplitude-constrained Gaussian channel, which are especially tight in the high signal-to-noise regime. Based on the derived bounds, optimal beamformer designs for the max-min fairness sum-rate and the maximum sum-rate problems are formulated as convex optimization problems, which then can be efficiently solved by using standard optimization packages
Electroweak phase transition in the economical 3-3-1 model
We consider the EWPT in the economical 3-3-1 (E331) model. Our analysis shows
that the EWPT in the model is a sequence of two first-order phase transitions,
at the TeV scale and at the
GeV scale. The EWPT is triggered by the new
bosons and the exotic quarks; its strength is about if the mass ranges
of these new particles are . The
EWPT is strengthened by only the new bosons; its
strength is about if the mass parts of , and
are in the ranges . The
contributions of and to the strengths of both EWPTs may
make them sufficiently strong to provide large deviations from thermal
equilibrium and B violation necessary for baryogenesis.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figure
