Buckling of Columns with Intermediate Elastic Restraint

This paper presents a comprehensive set of exact stability criteria for Euler columns with an intermediate elastic restraint. A subset of this class of problem is the buckling problem of columns with an intermediate rigid support where the elastic restraint takes on an infinite stiffness. Also, this study reiterates the existence of a critical elastic restraint stiffness in which the buckled mode switches to a higher-buckling mode of the corresponding column without an intermediate support. It is clear that this critical stiffness value exists only when the restraint is placed at the node of the higher-buckling mode and the buckling load associated with this critical stiffness value is the maximum achievable value that can be attained with an intermediate elastic restraint.     

Artificial added mass instabilities in sequential staggered coupling of nonlinear structures and incompressible viscous flows

Within this paper the so-called artificial added mass effect is investigated which is responsible for devastating instabilities within sequentially staggered Fluid-structure Interaction (FSI) simulations where incompressible fluids are considered.A discrete representation of the added mass operator M_A is given and ‘instability conditions’ are evaluated for different temporal discretisation schemes. It is proven that for every sequentially staggered scheme and given spatial discretisation of a problem, a mass ratio between fluid and structural mass density can be found at which the coupled system becomes unstable. The analysis is quite general and does not depend upon the particular spatial discretisation schemes used. However here special attention is given to stabilised finite elements employed on the fluid partition. Numerical investigations further highlight the results.     

Author's reply to “Comments on ‘Performance evaluation of UKF-based nonlinear filtering”’

It is stated in the above-mentioned comment that the main result of the paper Xiong, Zhang, et al. [(2006). Performance evaluation of UKF-based nonlinear filtering. Automatica 42(2), 261-270] can be extended to a class of filters, such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF). As we show here, this belief can be justified in a rigorous way, even for the nonlinear stochastic system with a nonlinear measurement equation.     

On stability of second-order quasi-polynomials with a single delay

In this note the stability of a second-order quasi-polynomial with a single delay is studied. Although there is a vast literature on this problem, most available solutions are limited to some particular cases. Moreover, some published results on this subject appear to contain imprecise, or even wrong, conditions. The purpose of this note is to show that by accurate application of known theories, a complete explicit characterization of stability regions can be derived in a most general case. As a byproduct of the proposed analysis, we show that in the high-order case the quasi-polynomial is delay-independent unstable whenever its delay-free version has an odd number of unstable roots (or, equivalently, a negative static gain).
