In the past, to model fibre stiffness of finite-radius fibres, previous finite-strain (nonlinear) models were mainly based on the theory of non-linear strain-gradient (second-gradient) theory or ...

An artificial composite material designed to control the propagation of elastic waves is called phononic crystal (PC). The so called one-dimensional PC is the periodic laminated structure. PC can be ...

The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...

In this course, you’ll learn theoretical foundations of optimization methods used for training deep machine learning models. Why does gradient descent work? Specifically, what can we guarantee about ...
