Compared with central penetration, the eccentric penetration of jet into a liquid-filled composite armor (LCA) shows a more obvious lateral displacement due to the asymmetric impact by the shock wave and liquid radial reflux. Based on this characteristic, the reaming process in the liquid layer during the shaped charge jet (SCJ) penetrates into the strongly-constrained liquid-filled composite armor (SLCA) eccentrically, the interference process of jet is subjected to the asymmetric impact by the shock wave and liquid radial reflux, and the lateral movement process of the SCJ under lateral force loading is analyzed to study the influence of SLCA on the stability of incoming SCJ during eccentric penetration. Theoretical and X-ray experimental results show that when the eccentricity distance is [0 mm, 12 mm], the severely disturbed velocity range and total disturbed velocity range of the SCJ increase with the increase of the eccentricity distance, while the maximum lateral displacement of the SCJ decreases slightly with the increase of the eccentricity distance at [1 mm, 12 mm].

The compressive strength (CS) is the most important parameter in the design codes of reinforced concrete structures. The development of simple mathematical equations for the prediction of CS of concrete can have many practical advantages such as it save cost and time in experiments needed for suitable design data. Due to environmental concerns with the production of cement, different supplementary cementitious materials are often used as partial replacements for cement such as fly ash (FA), metakaolin (MK), and silica fume (SF). However, little work has been done for developing simple mathematical equations for the prediction of CS with FA, MK and SF by using the M5P algorithm. Moreover, the M5P algorithm is not compared with other modelling techniques such as linear regression analysis, gene expression programming (GEP) and response surface methodology. It is established that, for concrete with FA and SF, M5P showed superior prediction capability as compared with other modelling techniques, however, GEP gave the best performance for concrete with MK: CS decrease by increasing FA content, while it increases by increasing MK and SF content.

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is frequently used to describe ground motions accurately to defined the zone is critical for structural engineering design. This study developed a novel models for predicting the PGA using Artificial Neural Networks-Gravitational Search Algorithm (ANN-GSA) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). This paper grants the prediction of PGA for the seismotectonic of Iraq, which is considered the earlier attempt in Iraqi region. The magnitude of the earthquake, the average shear-wave velocity, the focal depth, the distance between the station, and the earthquake source were used in this study. The proposed models are constructed using a database of 187 previous ground motion records, this dataset is also utilized to evaluate the effect of PGA’s parameters. In general, the results demonstrate that the newly proposed models exhibit a high degree of correlation, perfect mean values, a low coefficient of variance, fewer errors, and an acceptable performance index value compared to actual PGA values. However, the composite ANN-GSA model performs better than the RSM model.

In this paper, LS-dyna software was used to simulate the charging process of cylindrical shell when EFP has different angles, and some interesting phenomena and laws were found. Cylindrical elastic wave σ r was generated when the cylindrical shell was impacted by EFP. The cylindrical elastic wave σ r was correlated with the time required for the cylindrical shell charge to be successfully detonated. When the EFP warhead penetration Angle θ ranges from 0° to 10°, the σ r increases linearly with (cos θ ) -1/2 . With the increase of θ, the tangential velocity v y had an obvious effect on the impact of EFP on the cylindrical shell, and the linear relationship between the elastic wave σ r and (cos θ ) -1/2 does not change. When the θ was greater than 45°, EFP could not successfully impact and detonate the cylindrical shell charge. The EFP velocity was measured by velocity measurement method with an error of 1.3%. The experimental results have strong similarity with the simulation results, indicating that the parameters of the numerical simulation model have good reliability.

This paper introduces the LQR control algorithm for the active suspension system. Because the model of the vehicle dynamics used in this paper includes a hydraulic actuator, therefore, this model will include five state variables. Besides, the process of linearization of the hydraulic actuator is also shown in this paper. This is a completely novel and original method. It is possible to describe almost all the characteristics of hydraulic actuators with just one linear differential equation. Also, the parameters of the LQR controller are optimized through the in-loop optimization algorithm. The results of the research showed that the values of displacement and acceleration of the sprung mass were significantly reduced when this algorithm was used. In the investigation cases, these values usually do not exceed 2.68% and 43.00% compared to the situation of the vehicle using only a passive suspension system. Therefore, ride comfort and stability can be enhanced in many driving conditions when the active suspension system with the LQR control algorithm is used.

Fragmentation is the main energy dissipation form of foam concrete under explosion loading. To characterize the energy dissipation of foam concrete fragmentation quantitatively, explosion loading experiments of foam concrete plates under different stand-offs and plate thicknesses were carried out. The statistical characteristics of fragments and the energy dissipation law of foam concrete plate fragmentation were studied using image processing, fracture mechanics theory and fractal theory. An engineering calculation model of fragmentation fractal dimension and energy dissipation density of foam concrete plates were established. Results show that: the fragmentation of foam concrete plates under different explosion conditions is a fractal in the statistical sense. With the increase in stand-off and plate thickness, the fragment size of foam concrete plates increases, and the fragmentation fractal dimension decreases linearly. The linear relationship between the energy dissipation density and the fragmentation fractal dimension of foam concrete are expressed as

The increasing verticalization of urban environments led to the consideration of loads influenced by horizontal forces arising from the action of the wind. Different neighborhood densities alter the flow behavior and reflect on interference effects. An extensive study developed in the wind tunnel through aerodynamic characterization in the reduced model of the CAARC building, simulated with the insertion of distinct windward neighborhood densities in three configurations, I (one interfering model), II (two models) and III (three models), with different relative positions between the models, D and 2D, where D is the smallest dimension of the model, aiming to understand the interaction relationship between such parameters. Based on the results, both the insertion and number of interfering buildings, and the variation in spacing, influence on the determination of the coefficients. The results indicated that the FV values are mainly given as a function of the proximity and size of buildings directly in the surroundings, most forces on the x-axis have been increased (96.2%), on y-axis, most actions have been reduced (

As the consideration of soil-structure interaction is increasingly being incorporated into design practice, there is a need for solutions that consider the most relevant aspects of the behaviour of both the concrete and the soil, some of which are time-dependent. The present work introduces a model that suits both the structure and the foundation – including the supporting soil – allowing the coupled analysis of hardening on cure, creep, shrinkage and cracking of concrete, and consolidation of soil. Both the structure and the foundation are modeled as one-dimensional finite elements. The time-dependent behaviour of the concrete and soil is modeled using Kelvin chains. For the structural elements, a mixed finite element formulation is used. Validation tests were conducted in the proposed modeling, comparing its results with available experimental and analytical data. The study of a reinforced concrete continuous beam supported by foundations on consolidating clay considering the time-dependent behaviour of the materials showed considerable changes in the effects of the soil-structure interaction.
