NASTRAN static and buckling analysis - comparison with other large-capacity programs

A square plate with clamped edges under a concentrated load was modeled using NASTRAN and ASKA finite element computer programs. Deflections were computed for various width-to-thickness ratios (b/t) of the plate element, and were compared against the classical theory to determine the b/t limitations. A cylinder with simply supported ends was modeled using NASTRAN and STAGS computer programs for buckling analysis. The models were subjected to a uniform radial pressure loading. Several parameters were changed, and the effects of those variations are presented. Utilizing these data, a model which will produce results comparable to published empirical data can be constructed and processed for a minimized cost

Stability analysis for cosmological models in f(R)f(R) gravity using dynamical system analysis

Modified gravity theories have received increased attention lately to understand the late time acceleration of the universe. This viewpoint essentially modifies the geometric components of the universe. Among numerous extension to Einstein's theory of gravity, theories which include higher order curvature invariant, and specifically the class of $f(R)$ theories, have received several acknowledgments. In our current work we try to understand the late time acceleration of the universe by modifying the geometry of the space and using dynamical system analysis. The use of this technique allows to understand the behavior of the universe under several circumstances. Apart from that we study the stability properties of the critical point and acceleration phase of the universe which could then be analyzed with observational data. We consider a particular model $f(R) = R - \mu R_{c}(R/R_{c})^{p}$ with $0 < p < 1, \mu, R_{c} > 0$ for the study. As a first case we consider the matter and radiation component of the universe with an assumption of no interaction between them. Later, as a second case we take matter, radiation and dark energy (cosmological constant) where study on effects of linear, non-linear and no interaction between matter and dark energy is considered and results have been discussed in detail.Comment: 16 pages and 10 figures, published in EPJ

Design Architecture-Based on Web Server and Application Cluster in Cloud Environment

Cloud has been a computational and storage solution for many data centric organizations. The problem today those organizations are facing from the cloud is in data searching in an efficient manner. A framework is required to distribute the work of searching and fetching from thousands of computers. The data in HDFS is scattered and needs lots of time to retrieve. The major idea is to design a web server in the map phase using the jetty web server which will give a fast and efficient way of searching data in MapReduce paradigm. For real time processing on Hadoop, a searchable mechanism is implemented in HDFS by creating a multilevel index in web server with multi-level index keys. The web server uses to handle traffic throughput. By web clustering technology we can improve the application performance. To keep the work down, the load balancer should automatically be able to distribute load to the newly added nodes in the server
