Mixtures of semiparametric varying coefficient models for longitudinal data with nonignorable dropout

Informative dropout often arise in longitudinal data. In this paper we propose a mixture model in which the responses follow a semiparametric varying coefficient random effects model and some of the regression coefficients depend on the dropout time in a non-parametric way. The local linear version of the profile-kernel method is used to estimate the parameters of the model. The proposed estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal, and the finite performance of the estimators is evaluated by numerical simulation.

NONLINEAR RANK-ONE MODIFICATION OF THE SYMMETRIC EIGENVALUE PROBLEM

Nonlinear rank-one modification of the symmetric eigenvalue problem arises from eigenvibrations of mechanical structures with elastically attached loads and calculation of the propagation modes in optical fiber. In this paper, we first study the existence and uniqueness of eigenvalues, and then investigate three numerical algorithms, namely Picard iteration, nonlinear Rayleigh quotient iteration and successive linear approximation method （SLAM）. The global convergence of the SLAM is proven under some mild assumptions. Numerical examples illustrate that the SLAM is the most robust method.     

A COMPLEX PARAMETER MODEL UPDATING METHOD FOR DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS OF FINITE ELEMENT MODELS

阻尼对于结构动力学响应具有重要的影响,但有限元模型一般很难对阻尼特性进行精确建模.基于实测频响函数,研究了一种有限元模型阻尼特性的复参数修正方法.以待修正区域各单元质量、刚度矩阵的比例修正系数为复修正参数,建立了单元矩阵比例修正的灵敏度方程直接算法,并对比分析了复修正参数与不同阻尼特性之间的数学关系.以六自由度集中参数模型和25杆平面桁架模型为例,验证了复参数修正方法在阻尼特性修正中的有效性.     

自流平聚氨酯的制备及阻尼甲板的降噪性能

为降低船舶甲板的振动和空气噪声,以支化和线性多元醇,低粘度聚合多异氰酸酯(PMDI)为主要原料制得阻尼聚氨酯,并将其铺设于钢甲板与浮动甲板之间。 探讨了基体结构、阻尼填料等对阻尼层固化时间、流平、阻尼和力学等性能的影响,以及铺设阻尼层前后甲板整体的隔声性能。 结果表明,调节支链和线性多元醇的质量比,可以改变基体的交联程度与结构,支化多元醇提高了聚氨酯的固化速率,硬度,以及力学性能;线性多元醇降低了体系的玻璃化转变温度,使阻尼温域移向低温,损耗因子峰值提高。 铺设于现有浮动甲板结构下2 mm聚氨酯阻尼层,可以有效增加整个甲板平均3 dB的隔声量,且在低频区增加量更大。 制得的聚氨酯阻尼层流动性优越,室温固化时间可控,可方便快捷的一次性自流平施工,对于提高现有浮动甲板的降噪性能具有实际的意义。     

颗粒离散元模拟中的阻尼系数标定

离散元模型中所采用的阻尼系数是不确定的,经常凭主观经验设定.为了使得物理模型与现实中的颗粒动力学属性符合更好,通过采用声频采样技术对物理模型中的阻尼系数进行标定,得出与实验符合的阻尼系数应为0.5左右.利用标定后的阻尼系数模拟了一元颗粒在圆柱形容器里的随机堆积过程,得到最终的堆积密度为0.625,与经典的实验结果一致.研究证明,在得到模型阻尼系数的同时,也确认了数值模型的正确性和用声频采样技术进行高精度碰撞时间检测的可行性. 关键词： 颗粒堆积 阻尼系数标定 声频采样 离散元法     

Collective modes,damping, and the scattering function in classical liquids

An exact representation for the density-density response function is presented. This representation is a generalization of the result obtained in the mean field approximation and amounts to replacing the static, effective potential by one which is both wavenumber- and frequency-dependent. This potential possesses both a real and an imaginary part; the latter describes the collisional damping of collective modes. Analyticity and sum rule arguments are used to describe the basic properties of this complex potential. The formalism allows us to write an exact formula for the scattering functionS(k, ) in which the basic unknown is the collisional damping function. Using a small portion of the recent experimental data on coherent neutron scattering in liquid argon, we are able to calculateS(k, ) and other quantities of interest and to make comparisons with the rest of the data.
